Summary

The book examines how the US and USSR engaged in strategic confrontations and geopolitical strategies without direct military conflict, largely due to the concept of mutually assured destruction. It provides a detailed look at how this era shaped modern military doctrines.

 
The book analyzes key events like the Korean War, Vietnam War, and the Soviet-Afghan War, highlighting how these proxy conflicts became battlegrounds for ideological warfare. It also delves into specific military standoffs such as the Berlin Blockade, exploring the delicate balance of power during these tense periods.

 
By examining declassified documents and primary accounts, Cold War Conflicts offers insights into the arms race and technological advancements that characterized this era. The book progresses through the origins of the Cold War, moves into critical proxy wars, and then explores military standoffs and technological advancements. Finally, it analyzes the collapse of the Soviet Union and its global consequences. This approach provides a comprehensive understanding of the Cold War's military dimensions and enduring impact.

    Lavish parties. Commitee chairmanships for sale. Pay-to-play corruption. Backroom arm-twisting. Votes on major legislation going to the highest bidder. 
    Congressman Ken Buck (R-CO) is blowing the whistle on the real-life House of Cards going on behind the scenes in our nation’s capital. Elected in 2014 as president of one of the largest Republican freshman classes ever to enter Congress, Buck quickly realized why nothing gets done in Congress, and it isn’t because of political gridlock—in fact, Republicans and Democrats work together all too well to fleece taxpayers and plunge America deeper into debt. 
    “It is an insular process directed by power-hungry party elites who live like kings and govern like bullies,” Buck reports. 
    Buck has witnessed first-hand how the unwritten rules of Congress continually prioritize short-term political gain over lasting, principled leadership. When Buck tangled with Washington power brokers like former Speaker John Boehner, he faced petty retaliation. When he insisted Republicans keep their word to voters, he was berated on the House floor by his own party leaders. When other members of Congress dared to do what they believed to be right for America instead of what the party bosses commanded, Buck saw them stripped of committee positions and even denied dining room privileges by the petty beltway bullies. 
    In Drain the Swamp, Buck names names and tells incredible true stories about what really happened behind closed doors in Congress during legislative battles that have ensued over the last two years including budget, continuing resolutions, omnibus, trade promotion authority, Iran, and more.

    Did you know that Loki is the father of the monstrous creatures that are prophesied to kill the gods of Asgard? 
    When Heimdall blows his horn to signal the beginning of Ragnarök, the gods of Asgard are left with no choice but to face the forces of chaos on the battlefield of Vigrid. This is when Loki and his monstrous sons, Jörmungandr the World Serpent and Fenrir the Giant Wolf, will exact their revenge, a mission they will succeed in, although it will cost their lives. On this day, everyone, including the mightiest of gods, will spill blood on the battlefield. The entire world will perish, leaving only an empty void for life to happen all over again. 
    The stories and myths of the Norse were passed down by the Vikings in oral tradition until they were recorded in manuscripts by anonymous authors in the mid-13th century. The myths that survived tell the story of how the world was first created by the gods using the dead body of a primeval giant, the existence of the different realms surrounding the universe, and various tales and lore about the gods’ adventures. 
    Here’s just a small fraction of what you’ll discover: 
    • How the body of the primeval giant, Ymir, was used to shape the earth 
    • A detailed description of all nine realms in the Norse world and the World Tree, Yggdrasil 
    • The famous legend of how Odin lost his eye in exchange for wisdom 
    • How Loki tricked the dwarves into creating Mjölnir and other treasures for the gods 
    • Three of Loki’s monstrous sons and their roles in killing the gods at Ragnarök 
    • The unexpected death of Baldur and the gods’ failed attempt at resurrecting him 
    • Loki’s gruesome punishment that led to his revenge during Ragnarök 
    • The vicious battle between Thor and the World Serpent
