Excellent essay. This thesis could be the framing for a 600-level philosophy course... but it will never happen, at least until the universities are de-woked.

It is interesting to see this 5GW evolve as [they] continue to lose assets and be pushed further and further into a remote corner of the Game Board. It's evident to even a casual student of war that the Ukrainian proxy state is failing. It is also obvious that whatever System the Sovereigns put into place after this mess is cleaned up, must put into place safeguards against a country like Ukraine being used in this way. The Ukrainian people (along with many Russians) who will pay the heaviest price for all of this misadventure had nothing to do with its creation. [They] who did must face Justice for all to see, to act as a deterrent to such malfeasance in the future.

“The deeper we go, the bigger it all gets, which is why the disclosure phase happens very slowly, then all at once, like drips of paint applied in patterns that look like streaks and splotches before a step back presents the whole picture, suddenly rendered colorful, stark and real.”

I love this analogy, BB!! As the timeline so obviously accelerates, I feel we are pulling further and further back away from the painting, and seeing the big picture (or “macro”, to use a brilliant writer’s term) become ever clearer to our eyes. Seeing “The Plan” we all have had so much faith in materialize in the Actual is incredible to witness.....an exciting time to be alive, indeed!

As always, thank you for all you do, BB!
