As a reminder given his moralizing here now, the only commentary Ana had on the Bucha massacre on this board was to criticize other posters for being upset about it.
Brisket can be dramatic, but he's not wrong. First, none of our allies are actually allies anymore, so they shouldn't be sharing intelligence with us. Second, we're clearly going to need to touch the stove for a long damned time to re-learn the lessons of the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries. A 17th century state centered on an impulsive and degenerating monarch is not any way to run a modern society and is going to result in much more death and much greater harm than any one terrorist could ever conceive of inflicting on America. We're going to be wishing for a sclerotic, gridlocked legislature backstopped by a professional administrative state.
Well, all of us except for Ana, who wants a return of the inquisition for reasons that are well beyond my ability to understand.
