  • This will be more fully covered in Dune Messiah. I’m guessing that Villeneuve knew that Dune 3 was going to get greenlit, and so he made the decision to make Paul likeable as a hero in this movie, while also very explicitly presenting all of the evidence that this is going to end up as a galactic calamity. That way he can rub the audience’s face in Space Hitler for the next movie.


  • The purpose of the RAF is to project power on the behalf of the American Empire (and let’s be real, if any thought is given to actual defense of Britain, it’s only if it would not too costly to implement as a dual-capability). The blowback potential alone is more of a real threat to the average Briton, and the military spending is an actual theft from them. If every RAF airplane was blown up tomorrow, the UK would probably become measurably safer and richer.




  • Good effort post comrade. The US empire’s buffoonish top level leadership belies the deadly seriousness and effectiveness of it’s deep state. These people have a plan, have resources, are unconstrained by morality, and are willing to take awful risks to maintain the empire. On the last point, it’s been breathtaking just how bold and risky they’ve been playing it in Ukraine and the Middle East, and it’s stomach churning to think that it might all work out in the empire’s favor in the end.
