It’s not the exact same situation, but Germany attacking the Soviet Union in 1941 when they already had the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact in place is a pretty colossal blunder. We don’t know what might have happened if Hitler hadn’t done that, but it was the biggest oof I’ve heard of.
Well there is that, but Afghanistan has mountains and Vietnam has jungle…I wasn’t sure if those three are comparable obstacles.
Why I think they will lose.
Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq size comparison with Iran:
Not that size is the only determination of possible victory, but it looks like Iran might be harder to take and hold due to it’s size.
I had a listen to this album and it’s great! I’ll be buying it next Bandcamp Friday.
This article is about a phone conversation in early 2025, so don’t be so sure about those elections.

Nah, we’re good
I’ll often find something interesting and look through the collections of other people who also have the album. Another way is to just start in the genre sections and browse.
Here are a few varied suggestions, no specific genre since I don’t know your tastes:

The best part about all these articles is that the Americans talk about how much they love Canadians. When it comes down to it though, they just love the dollars. There is nothing else they refer to loving about them in the articles from what I’ve seen.
My favorite part:
Border town officials say there’s a range of reasons why Canadians aren’t heading south anymore — from the weak exchange rate compared to the U.S. dollar, to the lack of consumer carbon tax making gas a little bit cheaper up north.
No mention of the threat of arrest, disappearance, being shot, etc.

Go buy the whole album, it is great!
What a no information video. I’m shocked anyone would watch that and think it was not a waste of time to watch, politics aside even. I wish I didn’t watch it.
I lost a lot of respect for Gabe after just reading quickly through that. How can you justify having 1, let alone 7?
I agree with RagingRobot@lemmy.world, buying a yacht could be one of the lamest ways to spend money.
I don’t know where that’s from, but it kinda has Lancia Stratos concept vibes to me.
Thanks! Looking again, I’m not sure how I didn’t realize it’s a digital painting at first. I thought it was the world’s darkest ink.
This is super cool, great work!
What do you use for the pen lines?
What a little weiner… Elbows up… Until it angers the Cheeto it seems
Me too, he deserves to face his crimes in court.
I would agree with you that Germany was always just using the pact as a means of buying time. Either way, it’s a fuck up of the highest order.
