“When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me.” — 1 Corinthians 13:11 (NIV translation)
“When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.” — Author C. S. Lewis
“Any man who is not a liberal at twenty has no heart; any man who is not a conservative at forty has no brain.” — Winston Churchill
In times like these, I hesitate to quote Lolita, but it’s hard not to notice the echo. Humbert Humbert constantly sneers at America: its pop culture, its teenagers, their mothers, its vulgarity and stupidity. That contempt isn’t incidental. It’s central to who he is.
Humbert’s posture is the familiar one of the displaced European aesthete: superior, wounded, endlessly scolding a society he depends on but despises. Nabokov makes that voice insufferable on purpose. Humbert isn’t meant to be a sage diagnosing American decline; he’s an unreliable narrator whose cultural disdain is part of his moral rot.
His endless sneering is one of the clues. We’re not supposed to agree with him. We’re supposed to recognize how intellectual contempt, when paired with self-mythologizing and grievance, becomes a way to excuse predation and cruelty. www.theatlantic.com/magazine/…
I don’t think this is the inverse at all. As long as Ukraine remained independent and non-aligned, the situation was tense but manageable. The real inflection point wasn’t Ukraine’s existence, it was Ukraine’s commitment to joining NATO.
The moment that commitment became credible, the clock started. From a realist perspective, NATO membership isn’t symbolic, it’s permanent. Once Ukraine entered that pipeline, Russia lost any future ability to maintain influence, leverage, or even a neutral relationship with Ukraine without confronting the entire NATO alliance.
That created a narrow window between political commitment and actual accession. After accession, Ukraine would no longer function as a buffer but as a fully protected military outpost, permanently closing the door on Russia’s strategic depth and its historical sphere of influence.
This isn’t a moral defense of invasion, but an explanation of incentives. Russian leaders across decades, going back to the George H. W. Bush era, consistently stated that NATO expansion into Ukraine was a red line. The West dismissed those warnings and treated NATO expansion as cost-free. From a realist lens, the war wasn’t caused by “fear of NATO invasion,” but by the certainty that NATO membership would foreclose all non-military options. Ukraine became the proxy arena where those unresolved security dilemmas finally collided.
I know this isn’t a popular take, but provocation doesn’t mean justification. It means understanding how great powers behave when buffer zones disappear. youtube.com/watch
If this is true what did Kimmel think would happen? If Trump is going to be taken down by the Epstein files he’s gonna take everybody with him—a napalming of reputations. So many Democrats as well.

In that case, don’t you think we should take all our toys and go home? Gladly. It’s this snotty behavior that will result in the USA pulling fully out of NATO and the UN. Fighting spite with spite. Good times.

A ’90s liberal backed free speech, civil liberties, due process, and social tolerance without moral policing. In 2025, that same posture reads as “problematic.” Liberalism didn’t evolve. It sprinted into orthodoxy and left its skeptics behind.

Russia just nationalized all European assets and charged sales to Yuan or Rubles. No Euros or Dollars. Fascinating. BRICS lives. It’s alive, it’s alive!

GWOT fought enemies abroad. DWOT turns the apparatus inward. Same tools, same budgets, new targets. Surveillance, policing, prosecutions, deportations. The forever war didn’t end; it came home, reframed as security and order.

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John 1,1-18
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 He was in the beginning with God.
3 All things came to be through him, and without him nothing came to be. What came to be
4 through him was life, and this life was the light of the human race;
5 the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
6 A man named John was sent from God.
7 He came for testimony, to testify to the light, so that all might believe through him.
8 He was not the light, but came to testify to the light.
9 The true light, which enlightens everyone, was coming into the world.
10 He was in the world, and the world came to be through him, but the world did not know him.
11 He came to what was his own, but his own people did not accept him.
12 But to those who did accept him he gave power to become children of God, to those who believe in his name,
13 who were born not by natural generation nor by human choice nor by a man’s decision but of God.
14 And the Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us, and we saw his glory, the glory as of the Father’s only Son, full of grace and truth.
15 John testified to him and cried out, saying, “This was he of whom I said, ‘The one who is coming after me ranks ahead of me because he existed before me.'”
16 From his fullness we have all received, grace in place of grace,
17 because while the law was given through Moses, grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
18 No one has ever seen God. The only Son, God, who is at the Father’s side, has revealed him.
