"As this journalist has extensively documented, all Kiev’s gravest military disasters, such as the October 2023 - June 2024 Krynky catastrophe, were planned by London. That effort saw wave after wave of British-trained Ukrainian marines attempt to secure a beachhead in Russian-occupied territory, before marching on Crimea and outright victory in the war. Planning was heavily-informed by a desire to recreate the Normandy landings - D-Day - based on fantastical, Hollywood conceptions of that operation. Coincidentally, so too was DeVore’s sniper training program.

In the leaked document, DeVore suggested his plan would have significant political and public appeal due to “the popularity of fictional resistance narratives, going back to Red Dawn.” In that movie, a gang of American teenagers successfully beat back an invasion of the US by Soviet forces - an appealing filmic narrative, but hardly a basis for actual war-fighting tactics, one might reasonably think. Such are the dangers of outsourcing battle strategy to academics thousands of miles removed from the frontline, with no military experience."

Perfidious Albion basing its war strategies on Hollywood movies. I'm speechless about how stupid this is.

Honestly? Reading about the history of the British Empire stupidity seems to have been the norm.

Genuinely don't understand how it got so powerful. Dumb luck maybe? God favors the foolish?

As with every empire: Dumb luck, and some competence until it is too big to fail easily.
