Remember how the former guy lusted after a big military parade in DC that he could watch? Presumably while wearing epaulets and a billed cap with scrambled eggs on the visor while wearing heavily tinted sunglasses.

Now, it's possible it was random.

However, there are Ukrainians who are convinced that if their side could *just* get power, they'd be heroes. Some might call them "spotters" or "informants."

I'm agnostic, but open minded, on this point.

But the destruction of Orc weapons, whether on the front line or prancing to ego-massage the rulers? No doubt. Let the artillery shells rain down. Let the shrapnel massage the rulers.

OK, definitely an escalation that would not happen, even if possible.

But it is something to imagine.

And how many, like TFG and his family, have had to cancel their trips because of this?
