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.”
Yes. Biology is violent. Red in tooth and claw. Spirit is not. Wars are made for ordinary minds in a given social structure. Regrettably in modernity our social order is inverted with worst in power and the wise ignored. Matthew 26, 26:52): "Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword."
If soldiers are some of the most jabbed people, and the jabs are quite injury and death inducing, one would think....that eventually....there will be fewer left to do the dirty work, and the button pushing. One would think.
In sooth the vax creep is endlessly interesting. One oddity is time between injection and onset of significant health outcomes. Heart attacks in the white collar injected and in the military and police are not murmured.
The Chad Rabbit does report on some of those, but of course they have to be in the news in the first place. I have never seen so many folks using portable oxygen, younger and younger people using canes and walkers, lots of folks hobbling round on broken feet and ankles, way more than I have ever seen before. A general weakening of the animals in progress, by land, by air, by sea, as they say. I am almost losing my sense of humor- almost.
A croesus for sure.
Trump is certainly stupid enough to believe the Jewish oracle.
