Post: RE: The New Crisis War Unfolding Now?

Adding to not-completely coherent factions.... No one issue has emerged as being so inflammatory as, say, slavery. Making it harder to focus.

Post: RE: The New Crisis War Unfolding Now?

I would suggest the lack of coherence would also explain why this 4T is so unlike the last few. An inability to focus, leading to.... The phenomenon of The Indian Autumn. Akin to the bleak period b...

Of course, I would agree that, for the colonies, the American Revolution was dominated by a Hot War. A Hot War that I believe would qualify as a Crisis War.

Pondering how this 4T is playing out. So, 3T > splinter-y but mild 4T? > weak resolution? > weak 1T. Awhile back somebody commented that Xers are probably past the point where they could...

I have to wonder if the pattern will see a hiccup during the next few decades. It has been assumed that Mild 4T will lead to a weak 1T, leading to a weak 2T. If America's current 4T is based on a Co...
