Radio War Nerd EP #484 — Bibi On The Lam + Biden's Bunker Madness

A note on the so-called 'non-persistant' anti-personnel landmines that Genocide Joe has authorized for Ukraine. From Alex Jordan at Responsible Statecraft: "But as arms experts at the Friends Committee on National Legislation have pointed out, drawing a distinction between persistent and non-persistent landmines is “dangerously misleading” because of the well-documented failures of the self-destruct and self-deactivation features that supposedly make these weapons “safer” for the civilians who stumble across them years after a war has ended. In fact, the “smart mines” the U.S. deployed in the Gulf War failed at a rate 150 times higher than the Department of Defense claimed." https://responsiblestatecraft.org/urkraine-landmines/

Remembering the time Anne Applebaum insinuated that the only reason Soviets hated the Nazis was because of Stalin's propaganda and then when they actually entered germany they broke down crying the first time they saw a piece of bread

My thoughts on Ukraine is that, I think Biden is attempting to give Trump his own Afghanistan.

the point about the unmooring of US opinion and moral standards and the election stuff... very worth writing a standalone piece on

it's adorable how you guys still think the majority of people are anti-war and being goaded into it or being overruled, since the last few years I'm fairly convinced that the vast majority of people are RABIDLY wishing for illegal offensive war and completely unable to envision any peace or de-escalation process until they're being CONTINUALLY reminded of how war is bad for specifically themselves and the people they know.

the settlement is for sure being attempted - they smuggled a settler into gaza to survey the land that was recently caught out. But will they succeed? people in the north of gaza are facing exterminatory violence on mass scale but not 'cleansed' or empty at all. infantry keep leaving horizontally to the point of exhaustion and air-only doctrine doesn't win anything, something israel has already tried and failed at too

Lollipop Farms Mentioned 🥳🥳🥳🥳

Please don't use AI.

i imagine this was not the intention but ngl you made the new education secretary sound totally cool

given their frequent use of the hannibal doctrine, propping up isis, and brinkmanship with iran you don't have to say israel is the greatest threat to diaspora jews, you can just say jews

Would hope past guest Jack Murphy would listen to this… on a podcast recently he emphatically claimed Putin doesn’t have the Balls to escalate… I fear he echoes to many in the intelligencia or aspiring would be’s.

51:00 mark. The saddest thing about the lack of negotiations on the Ukraine war is, from the beginning, NATO leaders aka the Ukranian elite circle-jerked (and I don't use this term lightly) themselves on the prospect of total victory. So much so, that when Ukraine had legitimate advantages, say, before the counteroffensive, that negotiations may have gone well from their perspective . Maybe that's too optimistic. But now they're in a position where they're gonna be screwed in negotiations. Even if the keep Kursk for long, will it matter? Brings me back to the Syrian war (full transparency this is not a perfect analogy but here I go): remember how often Russia made the SAA and the Syrians negotiation cease fires and other breaks? Even though it would piss off the SAA and maybe their Shia allies? Well, look at the results many years later. We don't even think about Syria because of how decisively the Syrians won. But when you think about the US and how we "advise" allies, that never comes into play. Ukraine? Fight till the last man, you'll win! Israel? Literally do WHATEVER you guys want, we'll back you. The British weren't this crude, at least for the most part. They seemed to also strategically hold their proxies in place for the most part. TLDR: if I'm a country looking for support for a war or crushing an internal rebellion, I really wouldn't trust the US. Depsite all the money and material they can give you, the US has too many conflicting interests in mind when it comes to these conflicts.

43:50 the movie is the long goodbye with elliott gould, maybe my favorite ever made

The talk of Biden in the bunker made me think of the scene in Dead Zone when Greg Stillson (played by Martin Sheen) locks himself in at Camp David and launches nukes in order to "fulfill his destiny." "Mr. Vice President, Mr. Secretary, the missiles are flying. Hallelujah. Hallelujah."

I think my cats have some siberian in them. They are so chill and personable, very cool with being picked up and stuff, very cuddly and affectionate. One is in my profile pic

hearing mark say "it's the same fucking thing as vietnam" in relation to the media spin is really relieving to hear. anyone who's read "Kill everything that moves" by Nurse or "Operation phoenix" by douglas valentine will read these books and almost want to throw up with how similar it is

I think VP is getting desperate for the win, and nothing has worked. Ames, you sound silly about the landmines when the entire place is already covered in them

Biden isn’t odd. He’s fucking EVIL. It’s that simple. Always has been. For at least 35 years to my personal recollection.

Most of the foreigners willing to fight in Ukraine have gone to fight in Ukraine already. There is no manpower reserve to be tapped.

The world's gerontocratic political class needs to be Logans Runned. It really seems like theyre all lost in 40 years ago.

The thumbnail image is making me hoot and holler, great emergency ep

Keep in mind all longer range ballistic missiles are hypersonic since they fly in a high arc into space and back town to earth.

What do you think of this as a potential weapon China wields in the trade and economic war these idiots have decided to wage against China because the U.S. cannot and will not create anything anymore except bullshit? https://twitter.com/RnaudBertrand/status/1859446480198828360

Theres this thing I've been coming back to a lot which is looking at nazism through a christian lens- i.e. to them, the Original Sin of Judaism is statelessness because they are anathema to the Blut und Boden horseshit the nazis worship, and so shunting the diaspora into israel not only allows you to keep them in a manageable, very nuke-able strip of coastal land, it also absolves them of that original sin and makes them all Good Jews, the kind nazis can stand to shake hands with when asking them for weapons etc.

Honestly hate Biden so much I want him and the entire state dept and the ghoul speakers to die in a plane crash but not on impact. I them to survive impact but be injured and eaten alive by the wildlife. Or burned to death in the crash which they all deserve. Just thankful that I’ll be vaporized with nyc when the russkies hit. I’ve seen threads enough times to know that the living will envy the dead

Good ep! Rated “F” for F-bombs.

The film, "And that's someone I love...' is The Long Goodbye.

I was in Amsterdam the day after the racism riot and it was really surreal to see the locals seethe at the news. Every person I heard talk about it was so pissed about how it was being portrayed. I know that the media is full of shit but to see an event get distorted in real time was something else.

Some are saying the ballistic missile attack was a reply to NATO announcing the deployment of IRBMs to germany in 2026, dont really know for sure.

Honestly I’m so mad at the Dem leadership I hope Trump does lock them up and put them against the wall. And I hope he sends the dipshits in the press along with them.

I had a big fluffy boy several years ago, had to be at least part Maine Coon. Cuddle monster that one

The old Nerder’s luck is finally beginning to turn.

I know this is probably a minority take but I relish the "non-guests" episodes. I understand guests are extremely valuable, but sometimes we just need the classic dynamic of John and Mark only. Even if it's just once a month.

More like baby netting-ya-who, amirite folks

I just got a Maine coon 2 weeks ago! He is 12 weeks and already close to the same size as my 6 yr old lynx point who is pretty small but still baby is so big!

John, if you ever get near Surrey, I live in the US in Bellingham. Let me know.

Only acceptable use of AI man this episode cover has me actually crying of laughter

You did it, you talked about the news
