People never really change. Somewhere in the vastness of time and space there is a Chinese peasant whose asshole ruler failed to maintain the irrigation infrastructure that keeps their family alive and I feel the same thing they felt then. Things are *disordered* in a way that we cannot tolerate.

37 more wounded troops. Added quietly. No explanation. Here's the No B.S. truth: when anyone (a vendor, a CEO, a government) revises the numbers without telling you why, the silence IS the message. 861 wounded. Their families deserve the full story.

If executive branch creates a system so that people under government control can be located and then just stops listing some people in that system — despite their still being under government control — that should be a five-alarm fire for the other branches, the states, and the public.

These dinguses intentionally made their military suck so they could never be deposed. Then they went all in on a globally destabilizing American politician. This is simultaneously strategically very bad for the United States and also *very* difficult to feel bad for their gov’t.
