I know this is Star Trek, but it's a great case study in leadership.
Every boss eventually needs to have this talk with a senior employee at some point in their career.
Sometimes you have to remind people who is in charge.
General William Westmoreland, the American commander in Vietnam, said that Asians do not value human life the way Westerners do.
He said this to explain why Vietnamese soldiers kept fighting despite losses that would have broken Western armies.
He did not say: perhaps they are fighting for something worth dying for.
He did not say: perhaps our intelligence about their will to fight was wrong.
He did not say: perhaps we have fundamentally misunderstood this enemy.
He said: they don't value life.
This is what happens when an army built on the premise of its own civilizational superiority meets a people who simply refuse to accept that premise.
The army cannot update its model.
It cannot say "we were wrong about who these people are."
So it invents a theory where the enemy's resistance is not a sign of strength but a sign of deficiency.
They keep fighting because life is cheap to them.
Not because their cause is just.
Not because they are brave.
Because they are less than us.
Westmoreland ran the war for years on this theory.
He lost.
The Vietnamese people, who apparently did not value life, built a country that is alive and growing and free.
Westmoreland died in 2005.
The people he could not understand are still here.
So is the theory.
Absolute bombshell. Pope Leo directly rebukes Pete Hegseth for trying to frame the Iran war as a Christian holy crusade. The Pope declares God will not listen to their prayers because their hands are full of blood. A devastating moral condemnation of the Pentagon.
This is a take that is guaranteed to get me into a lot of trouble.
But I don’t care.
If you are geriatric, childless, and spouse-less, your opinion on how we should operate our country is worthless.
You have zero stake.
Sorry/not sorry

Mark Levin abruptly cuts to a commercial break after telling Joe Kent to “talk more slowly” and focus on “one point at a time.”
JOE KENT: “Secretary Rubio said there was no imminent threat coming from Iran against the Americans.”
MARK LEVIN: “He corrected that.”
JOE KENT: “There was an imminent threat coming from the Israelis, who were going to attack [Iran].”
MARK LEVIN: “Hold on, hold on. We’re going to do it honestly. One point at a time.”
JOE KENT: “The Iranians had observed an escalation ladder. They hadn’t attacked us under President Trump.”
MARK LEVIN: “Can you do me a favor, and I don’t mean to be rude. Can you talk a little more slowly? I’m having trouble hearing. Take your time. Go ahead.”
JOE KENT: “Sure. When President Trump came into office, the Iranians knew that President Trump wanted to get a deal.”
“They observed the escalatory ladder very carefully.”
“They stopped having our proxies attack us like they were attacking us under the Biden administration.”
“And they got to the negotiating table with us about the nuclear agenda.”
“When the 12 Day War kicked off, and the Israelis started that, the Iranians still didn’t attack us.”
MARK LEVIN: “We have to take a break.”
Lindsey Graham is a psychotic neocon who invokes Iwo Jima and is willing to send US Marines in to be slaughtered in Iran instead of working for America to get Homeland Security funded so TSA, ICE, and BPA get paid.
South Carolina please vote him out!!!
As we watch things spin out of control in the Middle East I can't help but recall, and I've said it many, many times before and I'll say it again: one human being should not be able to have all this power. The Founders didn't want it that way and they were 100% right.
Lindsey Graham needs to be removed from the Situation Room.
I don't want to hear one word from a guy with no kids, desperately sending our sons and daughters into war on the ground in Iran.
The Democrats will be back to chopping teenage girls' breasts off, claiming the "doctor assigned them the wrong gender" when they were born.
And all the conservatives will say, "Yeah, but letting Israel have their way with our boys one more time was worth it."
I waited until he was buried to make this post. While some countries are consumed by destruction and seem possessed by demons, others have opened their hearts to God. Around 326 AD, Georgia adopted Christianity as its state religion. Georgia was the second country to become a Christian nation. Since then, Georgians have fought, died, and sacrificed for their faith.
If you ask a Georgian how such a small country survived in one of the most hostile regions, where everyone wanted to take their land, how it is possible that they still exist? they will tell you: we exist because we never betrayed our faith. That is the answer they will give you. Try walking the streets and test it yourself.
Ilia II, the great Patriarch of Orthodox christianity, died on March 17. Over the course of four days, more than one million Georgians showed up to say goodbye to him in a country of only three million. Just think about that for a second.
Netanyahu likes to say, Jesus has no advantage over Genghis Khan. You think so Bibi? I think your projecting.
In 1220–1221, the armies of Genghis Khan invaded Georgia. Though outnumbered and facing one of history’s most feared war machines ever, the Georgian people stood their ground never bent the knee. They fought with courage, refusing to bow or surrender their identity.
Yes, they lost the battle, but they won the war of endurance! Genghis Khan’s empire once stretched across continents, yet today it is gone! Georgia, a small Christian nation of just three million still stands, proud, speaking the same language and praying in the same ancient churches Khan tried to destroy. Georgia remains rooted in its faith and its resilience. Where is Khan now? Where is his empire Bibi?
Georgians showed up in the millions to say goodbye to their Patriarch. So no, Bibi, evil like you never lasts. Ever.
Despite invasion, destruction, and countless attempts to break them, the Georgian people endured. They survived. They stand strong and even today they're fighting the globalist, even though the US and EU are hell bent on breaking them.
History remembers not only who conquered, but who endured. Georgia is an example - JESUS is the King!
❤️🔥 Legendary commander,
respected Apti Aronovich:
The world is now divided into two camps, and the Russian military is confronting the army of Satanists.
Initially, from the first day, I always said that we are fighting against the army of the Antichrist, the Dajjal. And the events in the Middle East, what is happening - we can clearly see today that we have only two camps.
One camp is Epstein's army, the army of Satanists, the army of the Dajjal, as we call it in Islam, the Antichrist, as Orthodox Christians and Christians in general call it.
The other army is the army that defends the values sent down by God, that is, as I call it, the army of Jesus. This army includes people of all religions, all faiths. When some people ask me: Apti, do you even have Jews? I say: yes, I even have Jews. I have Jews and Jews who are believers.
I have Buddhists, Muslims. And even among Muslims, I want to note, I have both Shiites and Sunnis. That is, in fact, another proof that the world is divided into two camps.
We will see a mirror reflection of our army opposite us, but it will worship Satan, the devil. Today, the world has already divided into these two camps, regardless of your nationality.

Tucker Carlson, "What do you think of Gaza?"
Zanny Beddoes, "I went in with the IDF, what you see is a flattened place.. I think it's a disaster for the future of Israel"
Tucker Carlson, "Why would you describe it first as a disaster for the future of Israel? Tens of thousands of Palestinian civilians murdered, but it's first and foremost a disaster for Israel? It's foremost a disaster for the families of the dead kids"
"The real problem with calling people anti semites who aren't, is accusing the innocent of a crime they didn't commit"
"The real crime in Gaza is killing people who did nothing wrong"
"Those are the real problems but no one can say it because you have to be like, oh no October 7th"
Zanny Beddoes, "I don't know what you'e talking about Carlson"
Tucker Carlson bursts into laugh then says, "Everyone watching this knows what I'm talking about"
Follow back @JucheAffirmer the boomeroids got them for mocking the A-10.
I like the plane but hate the culture around it. Look, this thing is obsolete and is used to harass people who don’t have air defenses. In large numbers they were meant to be used to knock out tanks along the Fulda gap under the AirLand battle doctrine.
The US didn’t build more, because they became obsolete in the world of A2AD. If these things were used anywhere near Iran they would be turned to scrap. Even though they’re sitting on runways Iran could target, they so far haven’t even wasted a Shahed drone to target them. They’re that low in priority.
The A-10 is basically a flying boomer, struggling to stay alive and relevant, complete with the 80s VHS tapes and the synth and rock music backing it.
Just get over this plane and grow up boomers.
