>>526313535>Preventive war has a long history in international politics, but until it became an instrumental part of the Bush Doctrine, it was mostly overlooked. Renshon argues that the best avenue for understanding decisions to initiate preventive action is through a close examination of the individual leader responsible for such decisions. In this work, he develops a theory of psychological motivations for preventive action. By examining five situations, including the Iraq war, he pinpoints the factors that matter most in decisions to take preventive military action.There have been preventive wars throughout history, but the motivations behind them have remained elusive, and many crucial questions remain unanswered. What exactly constitutes preventive action? What differentiates preventive action from pre-emptive action? Are there significant differences between preventive strikes and full-on preventive wars? What is the relationship of preventive action to traditional concepts of deterrence, compellence, and international law? Finally, why do states initiate preventive action?Renshon argues that the best avenue for understanding decisions to initiate preventive action is through a close examination of the individual leader responsible for such decisions.
>>526313535>Gordon Thomas, a leading expert on the intelligence community, returns in Secret Wars to provide the definitive history of the famed MI5 and MI6.Thomas's wide-sweeping history of two of the oldest and most powerful agencies in the world chronicles a century of both triumphs and failures. He recounts the roles that British intelligence played in the Allied victory in World War II; the postwar treachery of Great Britain's own agents; the defection of Soviet agents and the intricate process of "handling" them; the cooperation between the British and Americans in the search for Osama bin Laden; and the ways in which MI5 and MI6 have fought biological warfare espionage and space terrorism.Based on prodigious research and interviews with significant players from inside the British intelligence community, this is a rich and even delicious history packed with intrigue and information that only the author could have attained.
>>526313535Joe Biden launched his successful 2020 bid for the White House with the stated goal of saving the nation from a second Trump presidential term. He, his family, and his senior aides were so convinced that only he could beat Trump again, they lied to themselves, allies, and the public about his condition and limitations. At his debate with Trump on June 27, 2024, the consequences of that deception were exposed to the world. It was shocking and upsetting.Now the full, unsettling truth is being told for the first time. Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson take us behind closed doors and into private conversations between the heaviest of hitters, revealing how big the problem was and how many people knew about it. From White House staffers at the highest to lowest levels, to leaders of Congress and the Cabinet, from governors to donors and Hollywood players, the truth is finally being told. What you will learn makes President Biden’s decision to run for reelection seem shockingly narcissistic, self-delusional, and reckless—a desperate bet that went bust—and part of a larger act of extended public deception that has few precedents. The story the authors tell raises fundamental issues of accountability and responsibility that will continue for decades.The irony is biting: In the name of defeating what they called an existential threat to democracy, Biden and his inner circle ensured it, tossing aside his implicit promise to serve for only one term, denying the existence of health issues the nation had been watching for years, dooming the Democrats to defeat. The decision to run again, the Original Sin of this president, led to a campaign of denial and gaslighting, leading directly to Donald Trump's return to power and all that has happened as a consequence. Rarely does hubris meet nemesis more explosively. Wherever you stand on the political spectrum, Original Sin is essential reading.
>>526313535Why do some attempts to conclude alliance treaties end in failure? From the inability of European powers to form an alliance that would stop Hitler in the 1930s, to the present inability of Ukraine to join NATO, states frequently attempt but fail to form alliance treaties. In Arguing about Alliances, Paul Poast sheds new light on the purpose of alliance treaties by recognizing that such treaties come from negotiations, and that negotiations can end in failure.In a book that bridges Stephen Walt's Origins of Alliance and Glenn Snyder's Alliance Politics, two classic works on alliances, Poast identifies two conditions that result in non-agreement: major incompatibilities in the internal war plans of the participants, and attractive alternatives to a negotiated agreement for various parties to the negotiations. As a result, Arguing about Alliances focuses on a group of states largely ignored by scholars: states that have attempted to form alliance treaties but failed. Poast suggests that to explain the outcomes of negotiations, specifically how they can end without agreement, we must pay particular attention to the wartime planning and coordinating functions of alliance treaties. Through his exploration of the outcomes of negotiations from European alliance negotiations between 1815 and 1945, Poast offers a typology of alliance treaty negotiations and establishes what conditions are most likely to stymie the attempt to formalize recognition of common national interests.

>>526313535Donald Trump is not the first candidate of his kind. While nobody had quite his celebrity or combover, Trump is part of a populist strain in American politics that is centuries old. In fact, most historians and political aficionados – whatever they think of the Donald – think candidates like him are as old as the United States itself. In this book you will learn about other Donald Trumps in American history, such as Andrew Jackson, who fought over 100 duels and was hated by elite society; William Jennings Bryan, the fiery populist who threatened to overturn America's financial system; and Huey Long, the eccentric governor who promised socialism and gave his best speeches drunk. This book explains the reasons for Trump's campaign success, then finds other politicians in American history who fit that mold. By looking at their political fates we will be able to better guess the future of the Donald Trump campaign.

>>526313535 In this lively debut work of history, Edward Kritzler tells the tale of an unlikely group of swashbuckling Jews who ransacked the high seas in the aftermath of the Spanish Inquisition. At the end of the fifteenth century, many Jews had to flee Spain and Portugal. The most adventurous among them took to the seas as freewheeling outlaws. In ships bearing names such as the Prophet Samuel, Queen Esther, and Shield of Abraham, they attacked and plundered the Spanish fleet while forming alliances with other European powers to ensure the safety of Jews living in hiding. Filled with high-sea adventures–including encounters with Captain Morgan and other legendary pirates–Jewish Pirates of the Caribbean reveals a hidden chapter in Jewish history as well as the cruelty, terror, and greed that flourished during the Age of Discovery.

>>526315496Guten Tag Mr. Mushtaq. Say nice things about Pakistan
Don't do a terror, but reading/listening to books is legal:https://odysee.com/@VanguardLibrary:6/Mason-SIEGE-p0-123:9Mason actually made me laugh out loud quite a few times. He was a funny dude. This book is less about doing terror and more a sad commentary about how the more "the movement" to save the white race changes, the more it stays the same, and all the feds, cryptojews, honeypots, and legit-yet-ineffective people they had to deal with over the years.It's basically an old head telling young white men how to not fall for jewish tricks when it comes to trying to resist ZOG
>>526315847Based yeah, they won't do such things. They're not doing such things. Young boy Trump is POTUS now but what is he doing? arrest Maduro? once people stop falling for jewish tricks it ends. It will be quite comical how it ends so easily cause their "control" is so fucking farce. Hence I do not believe Holocaust happened. They don't even genocide some Cubans while they absolutely are capable
>>526313535The book traces the history of propaganda from ancient civilizations to the modern digital age, showing how information has been used to influence, persuade, and control societies across time.Key Themes:Ancient to Early Modern Propaganda:Propaganda existed in the form of monuments, coins, religious texts, and speeches.Rulers and religious leaders shaped public opinion to legitimize authority and maintain social order.The Age of Print and Mass Media:The printing press and newspapers allowed for wider dissemination of ideas.Revolutionary movements and nation-states increasingly used propaganda to mobilize populations.Propaganda in Total War:In the 20th century, propaganda became central to both World Wars and the Cold War.Governments used posters, radio, film, and later television to influence public morale and international opinion.Modern and Contemporary Propaganda:The late 20th and early 21st centuries saw propaganda evolve with global media networks, advertising, and digital communications.Conflicts like the Gulf War and post-9/11 campaigns illustrate how governments manage information to shape perception.Analytical Focus:Taylor emphasizes propaganda not just as deception, but as a tool to structure knowledge and values.He examines both the methods (media, symbols, messages) and the social/political context in which propaganda operates.Takeaway: Propaganda is not new—it has always been intertwined with power—but its techniques and reach have expanded dramatically with technological and societal changes. Understanding its history helps interpret contemporary media and political messaging.

>>526313535War reparations have been large and small, repaid and defaulted on, but the consequences have almost always been significant. Ever since Keynes made his case against German reparations in The Economic Consequences of the Peace, the effects of transfer payments have been hotly debated. When Nations Can't Default tells the history of war reparations and their consequences by combining history, political economy, and open economy macroeconomics. It visits often forgotten episodes and tells the story of how reparations were mostly repaid - and when they were not. Analysing fifteen episodes of war reparations, this book argues that reparations are unlike other sovereign debt because repayment is enforced by military and political force, making it a senior liability of the state.
