Elon Musk, Tucker Carlson, Trump, and the Hungarian PM all have the same view that Russia is beating NATO in Ukraine and a peace needs to be negotiated. There seems to be growing momentum that the West has been scammed on Ukraine but it's still a minority view on the Right. These guys don't have enough military understanding and don't go anywhere far enough in exposing the scale of the delusion. Interestingly Nuland, no. 2 in the state department ( one of the architects of this fiasco and whose family owns the 24-7 propaganda factory ISW and has their hands on other defense-industry funded war monger think-tanks ) was fired by the Biden Administration. I suspect that the war mongers are now considered a liability and even the Biden administration is starting to shift their stance on Ukraine. Putin commented recently that he prefers Biden to be president as he's more 'predictable', it was a measured response and not necessarily sarcastic. The Russian army keeps on pushing back the second invasion of Ukaine and likely hopes that NATO will eventually cave in over the next year if the situation in the US changes. Despite his issues with Trump Tucker will be an anti-Biden asset. If Trump becomes president one of the expectations is a change in Ukraine policy. Tucker is getting boosted by Elon on his platform and he has 1.73 M followers on youtube, and is rapidly growing in traction. Tucker Carlson (@TuckerCarlson) / X (twitter.com) Tucker Carlson - YouTube It is rather funny that Trump has come back despite the titanic efforts to destroy his political career by the mainstream media and Democrats. Cosmic sized propaganda and legal effort has been executed for years but he's still there. The amount of $ and labor is incredible. This signals that America really needs a shift course politically and create a new conservative party, as this country is so desperate that even a 3rd rate candidate is better than the degenerate establishment. It's sad to see so little real progress in political evolution these past few years. As the Germans say we need a "world-historic figure" to miraculously save the nation from its rapid decline in the world stage and catastrophic internal problems. Only crickets so far...

Abobe premiere elements is so limited as to be not worth it, premiere pro is the way to go for video editing.

Chinese Korean war movie- the only film I've seen with American soldiers getting beaten and killed in mass lol

Timothée Chalamet's creepy face irritates me, I was not born in this century.

The 2002 film literally is 20% from the book, the rest created for their own screenplay. I still liked it but it was almost a completely different story. This new film looks very stylish like the 3 Musketeers. This old show (lower budget) is supposed to be the most accurate one but its 400 minutes long.

@Matt!

I wonder how close will it be to the book?

Curious about that too.

In the US & UK- it was mainly the conservative right that de-regulated and de-industrialized both countries to a staggering degree, leading to the creation of a lot of poverty and disfunction in society. The Unions were on the left. The great irony now is that NATO is so de-industrialized that even the physical security is compromised. The majority of service jobs come from the result of the bloated overdevelopment and overcompetition (I believe there is such a thing!) of industries- the physical/tangible 'wealth' of the society itself has not improved much at all (and even decrease) and the psychological-physical cost on human well-being and health can increase as it has in the US & Asia. There is evidence of this everywhere in the US, from health care, education to finance etc. Overcompetition passes the high costs down to the end-user- the consumer of the good or service. Consumers are also not "perfect economic actors'- they also can be "captured" much more easily than economic theories assume with aggressive propaganda/marketing and lock-in by powerful corporations/industries. Basically my general point is that the way economics thinking and education was developed is from academics in the 20th century. Times have changed. These overarching theories did not in cooperate all the myriad contradictions and complexities of the real world. I also think that it is too obsessed with "quantification" and counting money- rather than an integrated qualitative/holistic AND quantative approach.
