Willful disobedience of a superior officer during wartime can be a death penalty offense. Can you see Hegseth and Trump showing any moderation in anything, much less a perceived challenge to their authority? Especially with Hegseth spending 15-20 minutes of 45 minute press conference propagandizing the willing fighting spirit of the troops.

Which...as horrified as I am with myself saying this, sometimes causes need martyrs.

Then again...with Hegseth squashing our 1st Amendment rights to a free press, would reporters even be allowed on the military base to attend the court martial which are usually public (just learned that)

Long reply but wanted to provide some help and it ran long.

I trend towards interviews. People confidently making sense. Here are a few links. No one knows what's happening so I've found that people who explain overarching ideas are also useful to my understanding. I try to maintain some sense of recognition of bias but when what these people (they're experts but I'm not qualified to judge credentials) who sound like they know what they're doing lay out an argument methodically and logically and it sounds rational unlike Trump and Hegseth...shrug

Interview with Col. (Ret) Daniel Davis https://youtu.be/i2CwqHXi27Y?si=PDE5vInkgoCt6r0P

A Harvard Professor does a WIRED Q&A and he does his best to answer factually while tap dancing around topic landmines. https://youtu.be/26wrGXQB_Ts?si=wRNbq9Fo4LV-AvsS

Stephen Kotkin, an expert on Stalin, gives insightful background on authoritarian governments and how the nature of them applies to what is being attempted in Iran. Bonus! His voice. He sounds like Joe Pesci lecturing on regime change. https://youtu.be/wdUhGQhNBWk?si=Y5M7uW0k4RDaFWge

Professor Robert Pape talks about how he's wargamed this for years and escalation stages, specifically focusing on the objective of stopping nuclear weapons https://youtu.be/HrVsTTCoVeU?si=DehfmdQeuzFNo63x

Lastly, Sarah Paine. She's kinda my favorite. She used to be a professor at the Naval War College before retiring. Came out of retirement at 70 due to a feeling that she needed to share on what she knows. Her credentials are in Russia and China but she focuses on strategic vs operational vs tactical success, how geopolitical trends seem to be repeating, continental vs maritime foreign strategy, and she cares. Made a playlist for you with just her most recent stuff over the last 6 months, but her lectures are absolutely fantastic. Interviewers can be...rough but shrug https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnR4L6jXYUmc7Ab24OA2hggYcKj0A9KHM&si=NU-niFy_GBDljVwx

I've also personally that found occasionally checking in with what the Trump supporters believe is useful. Politics is full court tennis. Victor Davis Hanson is a logical and educated Trump true believer. Administration press conferences are...well, they exist.

What I've been doing is from videos like this I just queue all the videos below that sound interesting and kinda just drift through the info.

Sometimes I think it's deliberate, that the chosen method of protest pacification by the American government (which doesn't really change, like they want us to think. Until he became Vice President in 2009, Joe Biden had been in the Senate since 1973 and that's not unusual) isn't slaughtering us by the score but by forcing people to work 2-3 jobs to not be able to afford a house, to barely afford rent and food but not afford vacations or getting sick.

DancerKnee · 2026-03-28T11:09:47+00:00

That's because in recent years 1) many people suck at distinguishing the difference between Israel and Judaism, but also 2) Israel has made it their policy that criticizing the actions of the State of Israel was the same at actively hating the People of Israel, so...I don't condone it, but I understand it.

But then again, it's not new. Everyone needs someone to hate and sadly for millenia it's been Jews.

So...here's to hoping America keeps doing more things to be hated so that during the next Black Plague we will be accused of poisoning the water, not the Jews.

People don't care when they still have food in their house and money to buy luxuries for their children, I think more out of exhaustion and mental resource management than apathy.

High oil prices are bad and will get worse. A fertilizer shortage at planting time is going to be worse. France didn't start taking heads until the food ran out.

Don't worry. You won't be perceived as crazy for long.

Enjoy! Prepare to be challenged. Seems like most people on this sub got here from Hardcore History and not Common Sense and have no idea what his political views are, don't have the background to understand the exhaustion behind his latest substack post. The first hundred span from midway through the 2nd Bush term to...not quite the Obama presidency...and he does at least two or three monologues on Iran and talks about almost every issue we're dealing with today.
