A Great Empire will be destroyed this is obvious
That is the Empire of the West

So the B-2’s are on their way to target. I presume the strike is on Sunday US time. I would be unsurprised if they failed using Bunker Busters to take out Fordrow. I would be unsurprised if the USA decided to include tactical nuclear weapons knowing Bunker Busters will not accomplish the mission. And this begs the question of nuclear weapons working. I smirk at the notion of astonished shock if they do not. And reasonably I suspect that if they did work they would have been used. We will find out.
The Colonial mentality dies, but climbs on bodies to wave the flag of conquest as it does so, and does a dance of death. Thomas Kensington Jones (June 30, 1932 – May 15, 2015) was an American civil defense expert, best known for his belief that humanity could survive the outbreak of nuclear warfare. In 1982, he attracted wide attention for his comment to Robert Scheer that America could survive a nuclear war "if there are enough shovels to go around." He worked in the Reagan administration and in the arms industry for Boeing. T.K. Jones under Ronnie Rayguns suggested to survive the nuclear war friends dig a trench, take a hollow core door, put dirt wrapped in plastic (shroud optional) over the door and lie in your warm snug trench and survive.
Asylum USA selects it’s leaders by the wisdom of crowds. There is no wisdom in crowds and no wisdom in voting. Even less really in Governance. In a world of dinosaur States these crowds sustain the death dynamic or in a decline, a mad celebration of wanton looting by all elites.
I am the cannon king, behold!
i perish on a throne of gold.
with forest far and turret high,
renowned and rajah-rich am i.
my father was and his before,
with wealth we owe to war on war;
but let no potentate be proud...
there are no pockets in a shroud.
By nature i am mild and kind,
to gentleness and ruth inclined;
and though the pheasants over-run
my woods, i will not touch a gun.
yet while each monster that i forge
thunders destruction from its gorge.
death's whisper is, i vow, more loud...
there are no pockets in a shroud.
My time is short, my ships at sea
already seem like ghosts to me
my millions mock me, i am poor
as any beggar at my door.
my vast dominion i resign,
six feet of earth to claim as mine,
brooding with shoulders bid bitter-bowed
...there are no pockets in a shroud.
Dear god, let me purge pure my heart,
and be of heaven's hope a part!
flinging my fortune's foul increase
to fight for pity, love and peace.
oh that i could with healing fare,
and pledged to poverty and prayer
cry high above the cringing crowd...
"ye fools! be not by mammon cowed...
there are no pockets in a shroud."
A croesus for sure.
Great column, Stegiel! Yes. The B-2s flying to Guam and Diego Garcia in a show of force is so Trump. I hoped he would apply more common sense, but he, apparently, has none as well as a pitiable lack of understanding negotiation.
I wrote a comment at Meryl Nass' stack. People often misunderstand me because I don't write in the detail to instruct as so many people appear to need. Here's why violence never wins which I quoted there. Martin Luther King, Nobel acceptance address:
“Violence as a way of achieving racial justice is both impractical and immoral. I am not unmindful of the fact that violence often brings about momentary results. Nations have frequently won their independence in battle. But in spite of temporary victories, violence never brings permanent peace. It solves no social problem: it merely creates new and more complicated ones. Violence is impractical because it is a descending spiral ending in destruction for all. It is immoral because it seeks to humiliate the opponent rather than win his understanding: it seeks to annihilate rather than convert. Violence is immoral because it thrives on hatred rather than love. It destroys community and makes brotherhood impossible. It leaves society in monologue rather than dialogue. Violence ends up defeating itself.”
