Russia will dissolve again and again in the coming century. This is not the reason the UK will become an industrial powerhouse or the reason it will fall under US economic control, over this period. The specifics are what's interesting, not a vaguery like:
"The UK is terminally tossed to and fro between the US and Russia."
I don't think Mosley's positions hold much water, today. He was a reactionary, of sorts and delusional at worst.
The time will come when you see that you can't age-gate a war over resources.
Putin can't step down from his role, the people who put him there will make sure it ends badly for him. The people in these conflicts all want to make sure their reserves stay safe, it only takes one Houthi rebel to ignite the tinderbox.
"...doomer boomer shit we are talking about you don't see any other resolution except escalation... "
I didn't offer a solution but an opinion based on centuries of historical evidence and of my personal experience. If I had a workable solution no doubt I'd be offered a Nobel Peace Prize.
What then is your solution that's guaranteed to work? Then you'll receive the Gong instead.
I'm not advocating for war, just describing the truth as I see it.
I would hope saying the truth about the tensions would encourage people to back down.. or at least isolate the most aggressive player out from the herd of peaceful participants.
The 'pretty picture' is that everyone defends their own trade lanes and we get on with life.
You're right I do enjoy thinking about war, it makes relationships clearer. I don't want war.

Women are also resentful of their partner's success and their egos can not take it.
The paragraph you quoted, Ely's husband sounds jealous of the attention she got and her control over the company. That can happen in any kind of partnership.
You're dragging up sexism, where it is not the primary problem. Why?
Demanding an inspection is a process that can be organized and scheduled around.
Your friend brings over a trampoline for Timmy's birthday party, you can take the risk of injury with no intent to claim on insurance. You can remove it before inspection.
Now you get pinged out of the blue by a satellite.
Adults don't need constant supervision. Should you believe they do, why not leave a multi-camera drone above your suburb and every insured house can be monitored for infractions 24/7.
There is no reason for the insurance company to withhold the image as evidence of a problem. Google Maps knows where my trampolines are, why is the insurance company hiding their cards?
An insurance company that surveils you 24/7 and makes sure you comply, is not covering any risk, it's a protection racket.
I'm sorry but this comment makes no sense. Where did you get that insurance companies are now "surveiling you 24/7"?
If my insurance goes up, and it has, because of people defrauding insurance companies then I would fully expect my insurer to protect their bottom line and my rates by dropping those customers playing unfairly.
What I don't agree with is insurance companies punting the decision making process to an algorithm. At that rate we end up with Google "support" from a company that, as paying customers, we should be able to have a conversation with.
The last thing I'll mention is that it goes a long way to know your insurance broker. As an example I've known mine for the last ~15 years and they have helped remediate a number of, what I'll describe as standard process issues, when I've contacted them and in a few cases even proactively.
Do you really believe that a majority of insurance holders own their home outright? They don't. Which means a financial institution, other than the "home owner" does. That loan binds the "home owner" to a set of responsibilities - one of which is keeping the home insured. This isn't a new phenomenon.
Taking photos from public airspace isn't "tyrannizing" anyone, as much as you seem to want it to be.
Oh come on. If Shinji's father had given him a 15 minute brief and debrief for every battle, that job would have been another day in the office for Shinji.
He could of had a normal life, but the show sets him up to be trapped in hyper emotional relationships, influencing him to make irrational decisions all the time.
He's a high school guy being manipulated by everyone around him, to fight battles he doesn't understand.
