10:53 Friday AM: War?

 According to Nicolás Gómez Davila:

Man matures when he stops believing that politics
will solve his problems.

Politics is the pastime of empty souls.

With these aphorisms in mind, why should I care about potential war in the Middle East, and potential  civil war in the USA?

I could say for either:  Not my circus, not my monkeys; and worry about my son and our souls.  But I can’t help myself and I want to watch the events and opine on them.

So basically, I don’t want the USA to get involved in the Middle East.  I want Trump to prevail over the forces aligned against him.

It would be nice if I could go to Canada and enjoy a splendid isolation.  It doesn’t seem that discussing politics while there will be productive.

It would be nice to live in a place where the likes of a Carney or a Trump or a Putin or a Xi or a Zelensky whatever damn fool in the Middle East don’t affect my life in the least.
