The outcome of the Battle for Minneapolis may be a turning point not just in US history, but also world history.

The State of MN is currently a lawless state, in defiance of federal laws & forces. Having been caught in massive frauds, the state is now in open insurrection.
1/
Most importantly, the Twin Cities are small & isolated. Just two counties in the midst of the vast, Red Heartland, that includes the rest of MN.

If the full force of the federal govt can't bring Minneapolis to heel and enforce the law, this nation is over.
2/
If the battle cannot be won there, then states like California, New York and Illinois can never be controlled. They will all do as they please - and the elected national government will be able to do nothing about it. That's it for the Republic, elections in the rest
3/
of the country will have been effectively cancelled by the Left.

If that happens - the fall of the US from world power will be swift indeed. A deindustrialized nation that is also split into factions can't compete in a world of new geopolitical blocs.
4/
At this point - the Battle for Minneapolis is a draw. And a draw means that the Left wins.

Yes, the US is concentrating forces from around the nation. But the night - and sometimes the day - belongs to Leftist mobs, who can grab & beat people of the RW, with no fear of
5/
arrest or repercussions. The Attorney General can't even get someone who committed a federal crime on camera arrested, because the federal judiciary is in rebellion. There are no arrests of the insurrectionist politicians who enabled the massive frauds,
6/
just a grand jury being convened. Where exactly will that jury be convened and who will be on it? If there are any MN Leftists on it, they will do everything possible to impede it, as they would for a later criminal trial. The courts are lost in MN.
7/
If the rebels can't be dislodged - and it isn't happening so far - then the rebels have won. As the open rebellion spreads to much larger & more important places.

Lose Minneapolis, and lose the world. The stakes couldn't be higher. The strategy must change.

This thread from 3 yrs ago explains what could produce open conflict. The country as a whole is way too fat & happy, too comfortable to rise up into a bloody civil war (a few online radicals aside). People like their pickups, their bass boats, and yes - grilling in their yard.
1/
We've got a problem in that more than half our society is leeches at this point, and they are divided on party lines. The Dems - and even more so the DSA - believe they have the absolute right to take from others, using the violence inherent in the state from others.
2/
The nons & migrants such as the Somalis feel particularly strongly about this, they believe they are entitled to be supported in style, and they have the right to violence to take it - with no resistance or retribution allowed.

The mental shackles of the post-60s liberals - that still dominate Repub & Dem politics - are easy to spot because of the irrational absurdities.

The open, remotely rational mind will acknowledge that we are all the descendants of slaves & slavers. For almost all of 6,000 yrs
1/
of years of recorded history we know that there have slaves and in all cultures. The Amerindians kept slaves as well, and it is safe to assume that slavery went far back into the Neolithic, we likely have tens of thousands of years of slavery history.
2/
The gross, indefensible stupidity of the American liberal mind is to ignore all of that, 99.9% of the history of slaves & slavery, to focus on this relatively brief period of history and relatively small number of victims, and say that is the entire history of slavery.

Read this 👇very carefully. The DSA winning 9 of 10 against the Dem establishment, often incumbents, completes a 10 year revolution in American politics. Trump took out the establishment Right. The communists are taking out the establishment Left. Both of the old are fading,
1/
and we are now seeing the second half of the biggest political change in our lifetimes.

In 2016 it was post-Obama, but nonetheless, the same song-and-dance of the Uniparty, with the Dems steadily moving the country left, while the controlled opposition RINOs moderately slowed
2/
them down. Behind the scenes, wealthy donors & power brokers called the shots.

That's all being swept away. Trump is trying to form a genuine RW opposition. He - and his successor - will not be fighting Newsom or Kamala, but a surging Communist party fueled by immigrants

Mamdani knows exactly what he's doing, this was long in the planning:

1. Freeze rents
2. No buyers at this point
3. Raise taxes
4. Don't allow evictions for not paying rents
5. Aggressively require landlords to make expensive repairs to follow the code.
1/
Mamdani is deliberately creating negative cash flows for owners that become financially ruinous over time. No one will buy a negative cash flow with no way out, so no ability to sell.

Only choices are to go bankrupt - or sign ownership over to the NYC government.
2/
Forced wealth confiscation followed by government ownership is not socialism but communism. That's what happens when immigrants vote in a communist mayor. And if you live in Blue state, this could be coming for you much faster than most people have any idea.

The Germans are complicated but essential. There were three major waves of German immigration - from different parts of Germany, with different cultures. These different waves intersected with the four Anglo cultural folk ways, with a different mix in each of the four regions Image
The first major wave was the colonial stock "Pennsylvania Dutch" who had migrated from Southwestern Germany, often to escape religious persecution. These Germans are part of the founding stock of the Lower Midwest in particular - they were there in the land clearing &

Indian fighting stage, and along with the Scotch-Irish, they are the original Midwest. As in Pennsylvania, they are somewhat insular, and often preferred not to mix. They are also concentrated, mostly in Ohio, then Indiana, and some in Illinois.

The lead WSJ article (link later) is about the devastating damage that was inflicted on the US Navy base & Fifth Fleet headquarters in Bahrain by Iranian drones & missiles.

This clearly demonstrates that the US global basing strategies of the last 80 years are now obsolete.
1/
The US strategy has been to put up above ground buildings for headquarters, command & control, barracks, warehouses & so forth, and then plan on defending them with air assets & anti-aircraft.

The Bahrain base was only about 150 miles from Iran, and for almost 5 months,
2/
swarms of Iranian drones & missiles were launched at it. Based on satellite photos - the Iranians overwhelmed the defenses over time. The Fifth Fleet headquarters, satellite communications, command & control, barracks, multiple warehouses, everything wiped out.
