Debate III, the one just for Languish: US Foreign Policy

[Sheilbh]

From what I can tell from the reports, the Eurozone crisis wasn't mentioned. You have to wonder whether e.g. the civil war in Syria or the economic depression in Europe is more relevant to American foreign policy interests.

The Eurozone wasn't mentioned.  With the exception of Mali I don't think Africa got a look in.  Most of Latin America and Asia were also ignored (including, say, Brazil and India). 

Foreign policy debates, sadly, tend to boil down to countries the US has taken military action against or might take military action against.  Aside from that it's really just Russia, China and Israel.

And horses.

And battleships. Dont forget the fucking battleships.

And horses.

Tape bayonets to the feet of horses and drop them onto turbans from a drone .

There is a certain élan you need to go steel to steel that you don't need to reload a reliable musket. Historical reports of bayonette use show that they are almost universally used to ward of cavalry and the few cases of bayonette charges consist of well motivated (or desperate) men effectively demonstrating to the opposition that they were willing to go steel to steel and thus causing the defenders to decide to run. In the American Revolution again and again the professional redcoats win battles when heavily outnumbered by mounting bayonette charges against milita.

élan is such an exalting thing! Can you not imagine the tragic glory inherent in brave men charging fruitlessly, being cut down by ruinous fire? Does it not move you to envision the gaping, pasty-faced men of the gunline felling their betters?

There is another time and another place, where little miss General Lee sits atop her dazzling white pony, and directs the knights against the yankee peasants who stand trembling, clutching their spears with faltering resolve and abject terror. No arbalest was yet created with the impudence to puncture the armor of such pure maidens! The day is swept for secession, and the victorious assemblage celebrates with tea and cake.

Squee!

Somewhere out there, there must be an anti-Lettow...espousing the glorious virtues of Union, while chugging on coffee and enjoying the company of our canine friends.

Anyone a fan of the union is really just a fan of America.

[Ed Anger]

I do declare that the glorious union is like the Chinese dragon. Strong and fearless! I had a pot of coffee while I watched the German shepards frolic! Bark!

Something to keep in mind, Lettow is the youngest regular on the forum.

[spoiler]I take my sister's dog to the dog park 3 days a week to meet up with my Dad and his dog, and let them run around with all the other idiot dogs.  It's a shameful secret.  Don't tell you-know-who.  She'd kill me.[/spoiler]

You are such your sister's bitch. It's so adorable.

Yeah, but it's not like he's 15 anymore.  He's got to be in 20's.

I'd really hate to find out that Lettow is merely the larval stage of a CdM.

I do it for the dog, not my sister.
