@ConceptualJames@ScotNational Lindsay is doing for Israel what the intellectually corrupt fellow-travelers did for the USSR, PRC, Cuba, and Cambodia. Paul Hollander wrote about the pathology of imagining another country to be far better than one's own in https://t.co/nFvZvbDQU4
@theepicmap No ports, no ports, no ports. Look at the two big cities, they are big ports. Seattle in the Puget Sound. Portland at the junction of the mighty Columbia River and the Willamette River which drains a huge agricultural valley.
@ConceptualJames Just war doctrine of proportionality: (1) any sovereign undertaking a war should measure its response in proportion to the claimed wrong, and (2) the means used to carry out that war should be proportionate to the desired goal.
@SwipeWright "You can't be a little bit pregnant," was a universal maxim, a warning, a joke, for centuries, until yesterday. Thanks, woke era! Whenever I hear someone refer to "binaries" my estimate of their intelligence is reduced by a third.
@collin_cleary I've been nonreligious all my life. But people who get together every week to honor what is good and right will tend to be more moral than those who don't. I prefer Christians to druggy nihilists, gangster rappers, woke youth, gaymongers, etc.
