      I've heard his Destroyer Of Worlds and Logical Insanity so many times because he covers the nuclear conversion so well. That and the Eastern front were just fantastic.

    It makes no difference what men think of war, said the Judge. War endures. As well ask men what they think of stone. War was always here. Before man was, war waited for him. The ultimate trade awaiting its ultimate practitioner. That is the way it was and will be. That way and not some other way.

    The host and I don't share much in common of music interests but I subbed to all of his podcasts and haven't found any other topic within I would disagree on. He seems to examine all available material before making up his mind or doesn't if the data doesn't sufficiently draw a conclusion that doesn't counter any other plausible. I'd like to believe that is how I think. Too many times I found out I didn't do that correctly. Still working on it.

  • @texasRoofDoctor
    @texasRoofDoctor Před 4 lety

    As always, brilliant work. I do think you broached a topic that has no good answer. The current system for response to an enemy nuclear launch is the best bad option. As much as it may be fun or even fashionable to do so, it is lazy to confuse the rhetoric of the current President with his actions to date regarding Foreign Policy. The situation with North Korea comes to mind in this regard. Both Iran and North Korea wanted to know what the policy would be with Trump after 8 years of appeasement that tacitly condoned their misbehavior. Now they know. There has to be a separate policy for friends, enemies, vassals, and bad actors. Upon occasion, the various parties require confirmation of their status in the geo-political food chain.
