Mark comments on the state of the West, Africa, the US and more...

re: Western Europe:

quote:

Newspapers and think-tanks, guardedly decoding the somewhat obscured official statistics, nevertheless openly speculate on whether the native populations of some of the oldest nation states on earth will become minorities in their own lands by the 2050s or 2060s. The correct answer is, absent mass deportations, somewhat before. In response, so-called "free" societies are ever more brazenly policing their citizens' speech, introducing de facto blasphemy regimes protecting Islam, and planning to mandate "digital ID".

This is a tragedy, and will end very bloodily.

I wish he’d have taken over Rush’s show, he would have done really well.

I have listened to a bunch of Steyn’s podcast episodes.

Over time, he is just too negative and pessimistic. I think I understand why he wasn’t chosen.

I know Rush was always an optimist but I think Steyn's more realistic in many ways.

His experience with the Mann lawsuit has probably paid a large part in that...along with the Canadian Human Rights Commission mess.

He has experienced the left and the West's decline up close and personal....

Joe Biden's autopen promised that sanctions would bring Putin to his knees, so it would be much easier for Joe to sniff his hair. It hasn't happened and it isn't going to happen - mainly because the non-Nato parts of the world have concluded, for good or ill, that it is not in their interests for Russia to lose.


He's right. The non-Nato part of the world (majority) doesn't hate Putin.
