The power of big tech to censor people strikes once again, clearly.
"It was golden, purple, violet, gray and blue. It lighted every peak, crevasse and ridge of the nearby mountain range with a clarity and beauty that cannot be described but must be seen to be imagined. It was that beauty that the great poets dream about but describe most poorly and inadequately..."

No he was just hilariously neoconservative. IIRC he was good friends with Colin Powell which led some people to believe Powell may have been feeding him info on certain military tech trends because there were times the military had to talk to him because the stuff he was writing in regards to military tech development at the time wasn't common knowledge.

Freiheit's a closet racist with cryptofascist tendencies using libertarian rhetoric to justify it all. He's already established this despite his vehement attempts to deny the obvious. I don't know why it's a big shock anymore.

Literal. She's the CCP guys secretary or something and boning him because tropes and then falls in love with a CIA agent and he's that good at boning that it improves her sex skills which she then uses on her CCP boss which makes him happier and starts questioning the CCP dictatorship.

I don’t know about all that other stuff but Tom Clancy wrote a few good books, his Splinter Cell series is pretty gripping. Both the games and books.

I think 24 would have been a even more interesting show if the first time he tries to torture someone it doesn't work and then they never do it again because torture doesn't work.

Singapore and Malaysia cane criminals. Don't act like it is a brutal punishment when two nations considered quite civilized do it. You act like I am an extremist.

Caning

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caning#Ju ... punishment

In Singapore, Malaysia and Brunei, healthy males under 50 years of age can be sentenced to a maximum of 24 strokes of the rotan (rattan) cane on the bare buttocks; the punishment is mandatory for many offences, mostly violent or drug crimes, but also immigration violations, sexual offences and (in Singapore) acts of vandalism. It is also imposed for certain breaches of prison rules.

Don't give a shit. You advocated it in the US.

No, Rainbow Six is the worst of the pre-9/11 books. The Bear and The Dragon is at least entertaining and hilarious even if it isn't meant to be.

I missed out Rainbow Six. Only played one of the games. I read The Bear and The Dragon after Executive Orders. But i found it not as interesting so i didn bothered much with Clancy afterwards.

While I find it disgusting torture does work. A skilled interrogator can get nearly anyone to break. Nearly everyone has a limit that they can’t stretch beyond.
