And next weekend is a big Christian holiday.

Perfect Triumphalist holiday for a twisted nationalist who claims to be Christian…. to launch a ground crusade aimed at the heart of Shia Islam.

The last series of “Christian” crusades did not go well at all for the empire builders of medieval Europe. But at least it introduced a note of humility that gradually wore off over the next centuries.

Looks like we’re going for a reprise of that disaster.

Human foolishness knows no bounds.


However, China and Russia are enjoying the moment.
