What situation? Did anybody ever really take seriously the
notion that little North
Korea would start a nuclear war? I saw the
whole affair as nothing more than an amusing sideshow in which two very juvenile
men tried to out-insult one another with a lot of childish bickering.
But now it’s dominating the news and Trump is taking the applause like some supposedly latter day JFK. It will be interesting to see how
he responds if ever he’s faced with a real
crisis (like Russian missiles being shipped to Cuba, for example.)
This whole business smacks to me of typical political
chicanery, carefully engineered so Trump can say: ‘Look at me. I just saved the
world. Aint I great?’
(And I suppose I might be wrong, but about the only thing Trump ever inspires is cynicism.)
Coincidentally, it occurred to me only tonight what a huge debt of gratitude the human race owes to the humble ball. What on earth would we play with if we had no balls?
