An Important Concept

Dictators are invincible - until they aren't. And the collapse can come with little or no warning.

I call it Political Slope Failure - when gravity (aka: reality) overcomes friction (aka: police state tactics and puffed up bullshit propaganda about how the strong man has the powers of a god).




So NATO backs Ukraine, which sucks Putin into a quagmire, which weakens him to the point where he can't be nearly as much help to his client states as they need. So those states are greatly weakened.

Meanwhile, Biden makes the Hobson's choice to stick with Netanyahu, who beats the fuck out of Hamas and Hezbollah for us, neither of which can get the help they're used to getting from Iran, because Iran has been sending all their shit to Russia, which also makes it nearly impossible for Tehran to keep al-Assad in place. So now, Russia is destroying all the gear they can't take with them as they exit their bases on the Syrian coast, even as they beg the new guys in Damascus for permission to stay in those bases, because they can't continue their shit in Africa without them.

And it goes on. That's just the shit that I can see. There's more - because there's always more.

The thing is collapsing, and it's either total dumb luck, or Biden is as good at this shit as his reputation implies.
