Eating My Words

[poliphilo]

 A year ago I opined here in DW

1. That the US President seemed to know what he was doing.

2. That the Epstein kerfuffle was done and dusted.

3. That Zelensky was finished.

Oh dear. 

In March 2026

1. The American President is thrashing around like a wounded shark.

2. The Epstein scandal spreads and spreads and the horror deepens and deepens.

3.  Zelensky is still in place and the war in Ukraine drags on- with another war having usurped its place in the headlines.

The one thing I thought then and still think now is that the old world order is falling apart. 

 I got the big picture right and all the details wrong. I should bear that in mind next time I'm tempted to pontificate.....

I wish I could send reassuring vibes. This scuffle with the Pope is positive though. There are a lot of MAGA Catholics.

Thank you. My partner is Catholic and def not MAGA, so he was the one who alerted me about how the Pope is standing up to Trump, which I love.
