            <p>Friday afternoon the simple term "WWIII" took on a whole

              global nuclear contamination and a likely nuclear winter
              (minimum of northern hemisphere, but global consequences).</p>
            <p>Now I see it being something more like a new European War

                    A Case For and Against Trump in the Context of
                    Ukraine<br>
                    <br>
                    The Case Against Trump  <br>
                    Russia invaded Ukraine, and Ukraine has been
                    fighting back heroically for three years. It is
                    crucial to take decisive action against countries
                    that invade others unprovoked. A good example is the
                    First Gulf War, when Iraq invaded Kuwait, and the
                    U.S. led a coalition to push Iraq out. That kind of
                    response helps maintain international order.  <br>
                    <br>
                    However, Trump now portrays Ukraine as the aggressor
                    and openly aligns himself with Putin. His stance
                    undermines the principle of standing against
                    aggression and emboldens authoritarian regimes. His
                    willingness to cozy up to Putin is simply wrong.
                    Period.  <br>
                    <br>
                    The Case For Trump  <br>
                    Maintaining international order is important, but
                    only if you have the power to enforce it
                    effectively. If you can't win a war, engaging in it
                    is a mistake. Consider how the U.S. aligned with
                    Stalin in the later stages of World War II—not
                    because Stalin was good, but because confronting him
                    directly wasn’t a realistic option at the time.
                    Putin may be an amateur compared to Stalin, but the
                    logic remains: if you can’t stop him, you may have
                    to find a way to work with him.  <br>
                    <br>
                    Looking at today's reality, there is no viable path
                    to pushing Russia out of Ukraine unless the U.S.
                    commits fully—boots on the ground. But no one in
                    America supports that. Given this, there’s a case
                    for engaging with Russia pragmatically, much like
                    how the U.S. dealt with Stalin, to bring the war to
                    an end.  <br>
                    <br>
                    Continuing to support Ukraine half-heartedly,
                    without full military commitment, has serious
                    downsides. The war could drag on indefinitely, and
                    if Ukraine eventually wins, Russia would be
                    humiliated. A humiliated nuclear-armed Russia is a
                    dangerous prospect. History offers a
                    warning—Germany’s humiliation after World War I
                    directly contributed to the rise of Hitler. The
                    consequences of a humiliated Russia could be
                    similarly unpredictable and catastrophic.  <br>
                    <br>
                    My Take  <br>
                    In my lifetime, we had an almost perfect leader in
                    South Africa—Nelson Mandela. Unfortunately, he is no
                    longer with us. But surely, with today's AI, we
                    could create a virtual Madiba, and he would know
                    exactly what to do.  </p>

                        <p class="MsoNormal">It’s such an encapsulation
                          of that part of the society (including t and
                          v) to think that they could “humiliate”
                          Zelenskyy.  By insisting, in a conversation
                          with toxic scum, on the relevance of reality,
                          he was about the only clean thing in the room
                          that could be heard.<br>
                          <br>
                          There are people like Fareed Zakaria who think
                          that trump can be somehow managed by a canny
                          player.  That doesn’t ring correct to me,
                          unless the player has a lot of power and
                          money, and it is the power and money that are
                          managing trump.  No agreement with trump is
                          worth the paper it is written on.  We all
                          understand that he will do anything he is not
                          stopped from doing.  The problem with the
                          american presidency is that there become fewer
                          and fewer actors who can stop its occupant
                          from doing things, in the era of political
                          parties as universalizing corrupting bodies. 
                          If this whole train continues, they will
                          eventually degrade the u.s. in wealth and
                          power enough that its ability to do damage
                          declines.  But there is so much accumulated
                          right now, that they can do enormous harm
                          before they undercut themselves. <br>
                          <br>
                          I am persuaded by those who opine that trump
                          has no intention of doing anything to aid
                          Ukraine, and that the point of the performance
                          was to put up a front for not doing anything,
                          for the same audience who interprets any of
                          that as a humiliation of Zelenskyy.  If trump
                          could extort money or resource access, and
                          then backstab in return for it, I expect he
                          would be interested in that opportunity.  But
                          not more than that.<br>
                          <br>
                          I also think that people are living a little
                          bit in the past when they comment that, with
                          trump, it’s always about money.  That was
                          before the first presidency, when his
                          possibilities to exercise abusive power over
                          other people in a country with some degree of
                          rule of law was limited, relative to the
                          amount of spending he could do (whether
                          solvent or insolvent).  But the access to
                          abusive power in the presidency, for a
                          sociopath, is on a scale not available to
                          anybody else.  If money was heroin for that
                          addiction, the power of the presidency is
                          fentanyl, and I don’t think trump is going
                          back now.  Money: fine; but that’s now the
                          second motive. <br>
                          <br>
                          (I think there are elements of this for Musk
                          as well, but there is enough about him that is
                          different that I wouldn’t put him in the same
                          category, or in the same post here.)<br>
                          <br>
                          I, of course, don’t _know_ anything, and I
                          don’t even have any sophistication thinking in
                          this sphere.  But from my long distance from
                          it, I can imagine that the calculus is roughly
                          this at the moment:  It is still possible that
                          trump won’t direct the u.s. military to attack
                          Ukraine directly.  The question whether it is
                          possible comes back, entirely, to what force
                          is available to stop him from ordering it.  I
                          don’t doubt for a minute that, if the EU
                          starts to get scared, and if they have time to
                          act constructively, enough to start to give
                          Ukraine meaningful ability to hold land or
                          push back a bit, the u.s. under trump would
                          act as a saboteur of that effort.  <br>
                          <br>
                          If that is the correct vantage point, I would
                          imagine that Zelenskyy’s challenge is to try
                          to orient the rest of the world into some
                          structure that will hem trump and the trumpers
                          in as much as possible from direct attack, and
                          where possible against sabotage.  (Sabotage is
                          harder, because to even find out that it is
                          going on, you need somebody on the inside to
                          report.)  If they can get some weapons out of
                          the weapons contractors and the congressmen,
                          sure; try to do what you can.  But any of that
                          has meaning only when it is in your hands and
                          being used.  Don’t put weight on anything
                          short of that.<br>
                          <br>
                          (I don’t mean, in this, btw, to downplay the
                          true problem that the current condition is a
                          WWI-type trench warfare with drones, and the
                          prospect of extending that to a point of
                          collapse is already so bad, that it takes
                          something truly awful for that not to be the
                          worst.  I don’t see indication that any
                          good-faith actor anywhere is denying that,
                          though I don’t think saying it, alone, makes
                          one a good-faith actor.)<br>
                          <br>
                          <br>
                          I had a conversation with a friend over the
                          weekend who is a NASA program manager, and who
                          interpreted a recent directive they had
                          received, to discontinue the use of paper
                          straws, and replace them with plastic straws,
                          as a kickback to some petroleum company that
                          had bribed trump.  Given that this is a smart
                          person I am talking to, the quaintness of that
                          interpretation took my breath away.  It seems
                          clear beyond daylight, to me, that the images
                          of turtles with straws in their noses, and
                          seabirds dead of them, were the breakthrough
                          that the environmental groups finally got with
                          the public, to get some action to ban that
                          specific plastic item as one of the most
                          insidiously dangerous and cruel.  The point of
                          the paper-straw ban was the point of
                          everything with these people.  Most directly,
                          it was an intent to deliver a “defeat” to the
                          environmental groups, focusing on the image
                          that had succeeded for them precisely because
                          it is so awful to have to see more of.  But
                          more generally, this is the core of meanness. 
                          It is a rage, by those who are defiled in
                          their nature, against the existence of
                          anything that isn’t defiled.  <br>
                          <br>
                          This is again Hannah Arendt’s summary of the
                          last-century European political actors: that
                          they didn’t understand the distinction between
                          the parties and the movements.  The parties
                          wanted to control the government, whereas the
                          movements wanted to destroy the government. 
                          Public commentary on this drives me nuts,
                          because it seems to exactly repeat this
                          error.   People talk about the appointments of
                          degraded morons to agency heads as being about
                          loyalty: take somebody who couldn’t earn
                          anything in a world of merit, and put him on a
                          plush perch that he knows he will only retain
                          as long as he can continue to curry favor. 
                          But I believe that only to about a 30% level
                          as the motive.  And it is an inward-facing
                          motive; how to keep various functionaries on a
                          leash.  There is an outward-directed motive,
                          and I think that is about 70% of the drive. 
                          These people are put there, because he
                          couldn’t find anybody worse. It is again the
                          effort to eliminate the notion of legitimacy
                          from the concept of society people will adopt
                          and live within.  <br>
                          <br>
                          The word I wanted to use for the latter,
                          thinking over the weekend, was “vesting”. 
                          It’s a bit of a bland word, but it wraps up
                          several things that otherwise I can’t
                          encompass in one word.  The cognitive concept
                          of truth; abstract notions such as justice;
                          the society as an agreement underpinned by
                          legitimized institutions.  What all these have
                          in common is that people accept restraint to
                          uphold a prior commitment to these other
                          things as “higher” over the long run.  And
                          when the mob wants to destroy the state —
                          meaning, really to destroy that concept of
                          society — it is this “higher” that they can
                          keep their attention fixed on, as all the
                          other particular targets (immigrants,
                          academics, civil servants, black people, gay
                          people, etc.) get rotated in and out as
                          opportunities arise.  <br>
                          <br>
                          So anyway: if every dealing with trump turns
                          out to be, over time, a loss for Zelenskyy —
                          the reality behind the literary Faustian
                          Bargain — he may not be worse off having the
                          break occur earlier.  I don’t know what it may
                          buy him to have humiliated t and v, by having
                          the dignity to not accept those terms of
                          conversation, in terms of coalition-building
                          with other heads of state. <br>
                          <br>
                          <br>
                          I do continue to wonder what China’s play in
                          this will be.  I imagine they think they will
                          have no trouble “managing” Russia into some
                          kind of continuing subordinate status, when it
                          is alone with a gigantic land area but a
                          limited economy and population.  If it were
                          even just Russia swallowing Ukraine, China
                          might still think of that as an okay outcome. 
                          I feel pretty sure they want the rare earths,
                          in view of their relations with Mongolia up to
                          now, and the fact that the only thing
                          protecting Taiwan is that it holds the entire
                          world’s highest technology as a trust, and
                          collapsing it would cause such a large global
                          implosion that it would destabilize China as
                          well, for now.  But they probably figure they
                          can get those from Russian control, where
                          Russia couldn’t develop them internally
                          anyway.  An actual coalition of Russia with
                          the U.S., however, could become more worrisome
                          for China, even if the U.S. is undergoing a
                          process of self-degradation.  So it is not
                          inconceivable to me that China could want some
                          stalemate to go on a while longer, which
                          limits the coordination of the trumpers with
                          other large actors as much as feasible. 
                          Another Faustian bargain for Zelenskyy if it
                          is offered.  But maybe more predictable in the
                          short term.  <br>
                          <br>
                          But there, too, I don’t know anything.<br>
