This is a CNN headline.

Time Is Funny
The incoming university class of '28 were born in 2006 or so, meaning they were 10 when Trump was elected.
My made up rule of thumb is that anything that happens before about age 9 is The Before Time for people, little different in concept to things that happened 20 years earlier.

No Nuance
I regularly write and delete posts about Ukraine because the simple point - lefties argued Western interests would be less than pure and any genuine commitment would inevitably wane because it always does - makes people mad.Any time anyone criticises the foreign policy consensus, no matter how badly they have fucked it, the response is just "you just love The Baddies you do". Are we not tired of this? Have we not had enough of this childishness?
