Someone I know was ranting about Trump's nominations last week when I pointed out that "Joe Biden" had earlier in the week taken the clock even closer to midnight. He hadn't noticed. When I pointed out that green lighting land mines was particularly evil he went off on Putin's "evil". I'm still angry at this level of wilful myopia and general stupidity. A headline of an op-ed piece in the ghastly Guardian today tries to claim this escalation is not the West's doing. There must be some way out of here...

Okay, so Ukraine fires its ATACMs into Russia, and Russia fires back what were first described as ICBMs, but later downgraded to MRBMs, or Medium Range Ballistic Missiles. We know of this because of information from our high flying tethered drones, or Defensive Inter-Continental Kites, or DICKs, deployed over Ukraine which run constant Fusillade Attack Readiness Tests, or FARTs, designed to immediately identify any Penetrating Nuclear System, or PeNuS, threatening Ukraine. The objective is to identify any type of Multiple Entry Striking System, or MESS. So if our DICKs and FARTs identify a potential PeNuS and MESS, info is sent to Lloyd Austin who forwards it on the QT to the CIA and DOD, and if that info is not acted upon ASAP, the heads of the CIA, DNI, and DoD will all end up on KP with KJP. Copy?
