[QUOTE="braus, post: 6950, member: 121"] I forgot to mention some important books last night. 'Suicide of a Superpower' and 'The Death of the West' by Patrick J. Buchanan. Nick used to reference these books a lot when he used to call himself a paleocon. 'Icebreaker: Who Started the Second World War?' by Viktor Suvorov. If you've watched Nick's Russia-Ukraine War debates then you may remember him reference this theory called the "Suvorov Hypothesis," which claims that Stalin had been preparing for decades to conquer all of Europe, and it was only by Hitler's preeminent strike against the Soviet Union that this plan was thwarted. You can tell by the author's last name that this is the book that posits this theory. 'Destined for War: Can America and China Escape Thucydides' Trap?' by Graham Allison. I'm not sure if Nick has referenced this book specifically, but I know he referenced Thucydides' Trap while discussing international relations concerning America and China. He may have read the book, or he may have simply heard of the concept. 'The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order' by Samuel P. Huntington. Can't remember if he referenced this one or not tbh. 'The Metamorphosis of Plants' by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. I'm fairly certain that Nick has a collection of Joseph de Maistre's works as well.
