@Glogistician chatting with Historian about hubris, metals, AI, Gun Oils, and Nuke disasters. New Outro song for you folks at the G-Camp.
No, cities traditionally have a lot of advantages.
They're full of
idiots.
And what do they say? A fool and their money is soon parted.
That's how I feel in the city.
Yeah, cities can be rough.
There's no doubt about it.
There's a reason that cities exist, and that is that it is a lot easier to trade goods and services...
when there are more people, you know, compressed into the same area than it is to do that when the average population density is, you know, one person per square mile.
Yep.
It's a lot
harder to hold down one person per square mile than it is a whole city of people.
Oh.
And, well, yes and no.
That is true.
Well, there are actually several Warsaw Uprisings, but the one with the Jews, I think it was 43 or 44.
I don't remember exactly.
But they started with basically very few to no weapons and still managed to hold off the Wehrmacht and the SS for at least two weeks with virtually nothing in the way of armament to start.
And they collected it the old-fashioned way by killing the people that had the guns and then using their guns against them.
So, you know, and fighting in cities, I mean, ask the Russians about fighting Chechens in cities.
Ask anyone on that chat.
Chatting is a good example, too, because there is there's something that I'll bring up.
And I think I brought it up before on other podcasts, but Russian logistics is always done by train.
