    Correction: The consistent lesson of the last century is the fastest way for a great power to accelerate decline is to launch a large scale war.https://twitter.com/dandrezner/status/1503112394087837703 …

    Russia invaded Ukraine less than three weeks ago. Moscow is now forced to recruit fighters from Syria and weapons from China. Its stock market has been shut down for weeks. Putin is obsessed with Russia being a great power. His invasion of Ukraine is revealing the opposite.

        Spain's decision to expand the 30 years war didn't work out great either.

        China's invasion of Vietnam didn't do much to accelerate its decline.

        It wasn’t a large scale invasion. It was a border war, the goal of that conflict was never to overthrow Vietnam.

        ol’ Louie’s road to the gallows started when all the bills he ran up became public, so go back a couple more centuries thanks for that by the way

        Putin launched the war, not out of necessity, but out of hubris. And it will be his downfall.
