Transnationalism

I just finished reading John Ringo and Tom Kratman's book Yellow Eyes. It's a sci-fi book, part of the Posleen War series. The afterward of this book was fascinating and fortunately, is available on the Internet.

What made this timely and interesting for me is a discussion I recently had with my wife about the United Nations.  It actually had to do

I hadn't known about the ASPA, that's good news.

One of the biggest tranzi successes was the formation of the European Union, wiping out a lot of national sovereignties. That's now on the rocks with the debt crises of Greece et al. So we may be seeing a break-up of the EU which would be a huge defeat for the tranzis.

It is unfortunate that some significant number of US college professors - somewhere between 10% and 25% - qualify as "Tranzis."

And they teach several million students a year.

For them and their students, it seems to me that the loss of the UN, or the EU, or any other demonstration of the abject failure of their ideology, would not faze them at all.

Sadly, anything Tom Kratman writes is tainted by my experiences with the author himself.

However, interesting essay, none-the-less.

I gotta ask - what's your beef with Tom Kratman?

[soldiergrrrl]

Oh, he and John butted heads, and Kratman sent me a nasty email calling John names, and telling me if we didn't want to be sued for defamation of character I'd "talk" to John.

I would loved to have been a fly on the wall for that conversation! I guess I got off light just getting dropped off of John's Friends lists...
