One might, of course, appeal to the ancient aphorism to know your enemy, but that would require, y'know, some history of East Asia, albeit not modern history. But it is also good to know your business partners. 2.8K views · 56 likes · 0 reposts · 0 replies Open on X →

Because why would you ever need to teach about East Asia, I bet we don't compete with them or do business with them or have security partnerships with them. I see my days of not taking Hillsdale College (where this fellow works) seriously are certainly coming to a middle. 20.4K views · 190 likes · 9 reposts · 5 replies Open on X →

So, a lot of new followers. Welcome! I mostly use this space to nerd out a bunch about ancient history, military history, or both. I also have a blog where I do mostly that thing, but more so: https://t.co/NCoOG8djIK I also occasionally opine on geopolitics/nat-sec Cheers! 0 views · 616 likes · 29 reposts · 49 replies Open on X →
