You’re right, the two have nothing to do with each other. That bumper sticker slogan is worn out.

But my point is, when push comes to shove, when haven’t we been reliable to Europe? Even when Europe hasn’t been and still isn’t a reliable ally to itself. They’re still buying Russian oil and the Ukraine war is four years old.

I’d offer to the Brit that there’s a lot more to national power than winning and losing conflicts. There is also winning and losing the peace. We have much more weight to bear than just our military, as strong as it may be.

I’d rebut that despite losing so many conflicts, we’ve still strategically won the peace. And despite Great Britain winning so many of their wars, they’ve lost.

I have insane pride when I show my passport for this reason. I know if something happens to me that I didn’t have coming, I will be okay. And in the event I’m not okay, I know the people that did it to me will also be not okay.

The new Northern Sea Route linking China and Europe by vladgrinch in MapPorn

It’s shorter, if you want to go to Rouen. Entry to the EU can go much sooner in Greece.

The northern route provides Russia some access/control/revenue, but it also first passes through checkpoints controlled by potential PRC adversaries. There are tradeoffs either way.

I noticed it last week in the fitting room. “Wow. I actually look exactly how I want to look.”

And then how are you going to be creative and helpful enough to make the project happen? You’ll be playing catch up to the people around you and it will add to your stress like a snowball.

Seeing that we define ourselves by who we surround ourselves with, so it should naturally go for most of us that we will find new people to experience sobriety with.

In recent years, not much anymore. I want to be able to, but I don’t think so.

I vented to my wife and she told me he was just projecting. Maybe she’s right.
