Illegal force is more perilous than lawful war, because it escapes the discipline of both law and accountability.
A nation may survive a mistaken war; it may not survive the normalization of unlawful power

When governments act outside law, they do not escape responsibility — they merely postpone reckoning.
A republic that wages force without constitutional sanction ceases to be governed by law and begins to be governed by impulse. That transition is quiet — and often irreversible.

This is not war. War has rules, responsibilities, and accountability. What we are witnessing is force exercised without the candor or consent that makes war lawful. That is a far more dangerous thing.

A man who uses tariffs as a bludgeon will find, in time, that the world learns to carry a shield. What begins as a show of strength can end as a siege of his own making, for when every neighbour feels the sting, they will one day join hands—not to trade, but to shut the gates against him.

Big media has fully surrendered to the Trump regime’s reliance upon the tools of distraction and false grievance.
They are enablers and partners in the creation of a mass deception
In my time, the dailies would have been screaming from every street corner with special editions showcasing crimes

The shadow of tyranny seldom announces itself with marching boots…at first ……
Rather, it begins with the ruler who delights in applause more than in law, and who mistakes personal will for public right. I have seen that play before, and it ends badly for liberty.

This is bluster, not leadership. It is the speech of a man who has mistaken insult for influence.
One cannot hope to rally allies by spitting in their faces.
Even when I stood in that body to denounce tyranny, I clothed my reproach in the garb of warning and appeal, not in vulgar derision.”

The Kremlin will send ten thousand men into the fire for a single mile of ground, and when half are slain, they call it a good day’s work.
Their rulers think nothing of squandering men as though they were musket balls.

Modern comment ignores the paradox of the Russian inclination to cross the borders of its neighbors
Russia- the nation with largest land mass, 17 million sq Km, seeks expansion, for what?
Perhaps to distract their populace from the failure of their system & corruption and inefficiency

So that was Mr. Trump’s attempt at levity, was it? A quip that in moments of war, democracy might be paused. One scarcely knows whether to laugh or shudder.
Are we to forget that freedom is eroded one concession at a time?
It is happening before us now, each day.

I’m saddened to see the US experience this reversal of principle and advocate on behalf of Russia’s blatant aggression.

A Russian tank is observed flying a US flag in Ukraine.
This sight is not only a vile imposture, it is a calculated insult. It is meant to sow confusion among the innocent, to taunt the credulous, and to sully the honor of America in the eyes of those who look to her for liberty’s defence.

If America were to adopt such a policy, it would abandon not only Ukraine but every small nation that dares to resist aggression.

Trump dresses up cowardice as pragmatism. He mistakes surrender for statesmanship, and weakness for wisdom.
He talks as though one may negotiate with a wolf by offering it only a portion of the flock. But wolves, once fed, return again and again.

Trump, I regret to say, mistakes bluster for statesmanship. In taking up Mr. Putin’s version of events, he has become less a leader of the free world and more a ventriloquist’s dummy on the Kremlin knee. He speaks of strength, but what strength is it to echo another man’s falsehoods?

Here we have a most extraordinary spectacle: a man who aspires to lead the greatest republic on earth bending his ear to the siren song of the Kremlin.
It is one thing to parley with one’s adversaries in pursuit of peace; it is quite another to parrot their distortions as if they were gospel.
