Should have been obvious:
1. The frenzy of hostility toward Russia made negotiations less and less likely.
2. Absence of negotiations with Russia made nuclear war more likely.
3. The frenzy of hostility toward Russia increased the chances of nuclear war.
Q.E.D.
The lemming logic of it all was unseen in plain sight, evaded most pivotally by Democrats, liberals, progressives. We were so good at displacing our fearful rage at Trump, we propelled our own stampede. A kind of collective madness, the commonest of common sense.
***Brooding. Climbing walls that aren't here. How could this be?
All of us tiny, but every twig we threw on the fire helped it spread, burn fiercer. A socialized, psychological firestorm. Relentlessly obscuring the biggest picture imaginable. Actually unimaginable.
Hardly enticing to wrap minds around nuclear holocaust, or the nuclear winter that would come right behind it. Maybe none of us really could.
Instead, steadily, we got our froggy legs boiled in the propaganda pot. And we never jumped out. Now all that Russiagate uproar looks so trivial.
***Always wanted to assume that some people I love will live after me.
***Hungry. Waves lapping. No boat or plane in sight. No radio sound beyond static no matter how hard I crank.
Trying to understand how it could have maybe come to this.
***Better reduce my meal portions again. Cut back on water.
***Remembering back to 2017 when Democrats in Congress were quite sanely denouncing Trump for refusing to pursue real diplomacy with North Korea -- and many of the same ones were denouncing him for talking with Putin. So party-line clever. Now I'm terrified the world is on fire.
***Still nothing. No drop-off. Eleven days late and counting.
