Watching the nation right now is like watching a three hour movie with 5 minutes of plot. Like, can we please fast forward now? The destruction is immense, but the consequences won’t be apparent for months to years, and it just feels tedious right now.

The amount of damage done to my beloved country in the last three months is beyond comprehension. A sledgehammer has been taken to all forms of stability: political/security (see Ukraine and NATO); economic (see tariffs and flip flopping eco policies); social (see deportations and attacks on 1/3
