Boring?
Things seem to move slowly, but power dynamics are shifting. I'm thinking the chickens will come home to roost, for the American Empire. I like this quote from Rabih Alameddine, taken from a discussion about Conrad's "Heart of Darkness" and its parallels with this country:
"We invade yiour countries, destroy your economies, demolish your infrastructures, murder hundreds of thousands of your citizens, and a decade or so later we write beautifully restrained novels about how killing you made us cry."
If the lunatic in the White House manages to weaken us sufficiently, who knows? Maybe some folks out there in the world will come after the leavings.
