A quotation from Molly Ivins

   There are three things one must not do in the face of electoral disaster. Whine. Despair. Or fall for that specious old radical crap: “Things have to get worse before they can get better.” The only possible response to that one is, “Not with my child’s life.”
   Nor is it helpful to sit around hoping that given enough rope, the R’s will hang themselves. They’ll hang us along with them. The only thing to do is to fight harder and smarter.

Molly Ivins (1944-2007) American writer, political columnist [Mary Tyler Ivins]
Essay (2002-12-01) “Fight Harder and Smarter,” The Progressive Magazine

"We are in some serious shit" says analyst, but Wall St is booming for now. This history probably becomes real with the sounds of a #bubble popping, that is how #degenerate the #USA has become. If only anyone could have predicted, back in March, that #Trump would #taco and give #Iran a #Tollbooth franchise. And force other nations to cover the war reparations that Iran would demand. And that the U.S. would declare victory. Welp, see pinned. #defeat #persiangulf

A quotation from Mark Twain

   “You heard these words: ‘Grant us the victory, O Lord our God!’ That is sufficient. The whole of the uttered prayer is compact into those pregnant words. Elaborations were not necessary. When you have prayed for victory you have prayed for many unmentioned results which follow victory — must follow it, cannot help but follow it. Upon the listening spirit of God fell also the unspoken part of the prayer. He commandeth me to put it into words. Listen!
   “O Lord our Father, our young patriots, idols of our hearts, go forth to battle — be Thou near them! With them — in spirit — we also go forth from the sweet peace of our beloved firesides to smite the foe. O Lord our God, help us to tear their soldiers to bloody shreds with our shells; help us to cover their smiling fields with the pale forms of their patriot dead; help us to drown the thunder of the guns with the shrieks of their wounded, writhing in pain; help us to lay waste their humble homes with a hurricane of fire; help us to wring the hearts of their unoffending widows with unavailing grief; help us to turn them out roofless with their little children to wander unfriended the wastes of their desolated land in rags and hunger and thirst, sports of the sun flames of summer and the icy winds of winter, broken in spirit, worn with travail, imploring Thee for the refuge of the grave and denied it — for our sakes who adore Thee, Lord, blast their hopes, blight their lives, protract their bitter pilgrimage, make heavy their steps, water their way with their tears, stain the white snow with the blood of their wounded feet! We ask it, in the spirit of love, of Him Who is the Source of Love, and Who is the ever-faithful refuge and friend of all that are sore beset and seek His aid with humble and contrite hearts. Amen.
   (After a pause.) “Ye have prayed it; if ye still desire it, speak! The messenger of the Most High waits!”

Mark Twain (1835-1910) American writer [pseud. of Samuel Clemens]
Story (1905), “The War Prayer”

What it feels like to be a smaller and weaker power confronted with larger.

Evarist Bartolo, Malta's former Minister of European and Foreign Affairs, urges a shift toward a model where states “listen before they speak,” and where foreign policy is shaped by mutual respect, not bloc loyalty: https://pascallottaz.substack.com/p/the-eus-pretence-of-equality

As Jaffa Tel Aviv and Washington, DC, quietly court #Somaliland as a destination for Gaza’s displaced, this British-controlled enclave on the Red Sea emerges as both a strategic imperial launchpad and a potential open-air prison for Palestinians – armed, trained, and surveilled by London: https://thecradle.co/articles/sights-set-on-somaliland-the-threat-of-a-total-us-uk-israeli-takeover

Cognitive dissonance

Until February 2025, Europe had been a willing tool of US foreign policy. Realizing it just now, the rulers cannot change their belief in standing for good versus evil. So they choose to change their narrative from one of enlightenment to one of rearmament.

"In spite of all the grand-standing and posturing, Europe has been reduced to a geopolitical appendage of the United States, following Washington’s lead in prolonging the conflict while shouldering the costs. While the EU sees itself as a global moral authority, it has been sidelined in actual negotiations. Instead, peace talks are being brokered by the U.S. and China, with Europe playing no decisive role. Even within the European Parliament, there exists a near-religious belief in a narrative that contradicts basic military and economic realities."
