Notwithstanding the dubious legal basis for this (and many other) recent executive orders, will reports continue to be added to the FCPA Database at @TheJusticeDept , and what effect does this order have on existing investigations and enforcement actions regarding any offenses?

You may learn, as I think I have, that existential questions have never changed. But we have made progress, and it must be safeguarded. My own taken Saint died for it. He is now mocked as being a prig who murdered and burned books. But he did as I stated, above. The tightrope is real.

And there I was thinking his views on nuclear deterrence were a bit off. My dear chap, this is an illustration of prolepsis. And a fairly dramatic one, at that.

Sensuret III (Hellenised Sesostris) was a XII Dynasty pharaoh who ruled Egypt with repression in the Middle Kingdom. His likenesses all display a frown & large ears to hear plots against him. He used magical curses & spawned the Greek myth of Σέσωστρις. Trump’s official portrait recalls him to me.

Your Curtis Condition Status is: Excuse the fuck out of me?!
It’s unprecedented to conclude a retired CJCS, hell any general officer, “undermined” a president before formal investigation or due process as stipulated in UCMJ, let alone YEARS after the alleged conduct and BEFORE any investigation!

We, on the other hand, were deterring the old Pact forces in the 1980s. Those plans called for more forward deployed Soviet nuclear forces as in the famous 7 Days to the River Rhine op plan. US target coverage from CONUS is still too small these days, given Oreshnik or 9M729.
