  "He (Edward Luttwak) he was combat-trained (Oxfordshire & Buckinghamshire Light Infantry) and fought as a volunteer or a contractor in several countries on two continents." Pull the other one. EL was not in the Royal Green Jackets, and the Ox & Bucks ceased to exist while he was a schoolboy at Carmel College. It became 1 RGJ in 1958. He went to Israel in 1967 as a 'war volunteer' but he was never in the IDF and certainly didn't fight in the Six-Day War which was over before he got there.

  One of my favorite dynamic with Europeans, but obviously Brits in particular is how when its anything good about the US   of course the US was started by Brits/Europeans. When its anything bad that they want to distance themselves from it's "those dumb Americans and their Revolution and independence, theyre not European anyway." Lol

  The big brain on the left needs to read his intro to a mirror and not crack up. You can;t relate arbitrary insights to a real-politic analyst like Dr. Luttwak. Make a bold point or stay silent. But I do wonder what the good doctor says today about the solidity of the Ukraine forces.

  "Let us begin with this evident fact: Muscovy does not belong at all to Europe, but to Asia. It follows that judging Muscovy and the Muscovites by our European standards is a mistake to be avoided."—gonzague de reynold, 19501 In methodological terms, one should de-Europeanise any analysis of Muscovy policy.— thomas gomart, 20062 "
