There are two answers because there are two ‘VENUES’ in which the Clash of Political Wills is settled.
Part I: The Material World VENUE
Civilization led by Trump militarily holds ALL THE CARDS!
Part II: Alternative VENUE (Phony Political Theater – Especially Photo Ops)
The ‘Great…Stage of History’ as Georg Friedrich Wilheim Hegel (1770-1831) never tired of referring to in Hegelian philosophy is called THE SOCIAL CONSCIOUSNESS (or THE PUBLIC CONSCIOUSNESS).
[i.e., the philosophically-rooted faithful beliefs that inform and motivate (all Public Opinion including) American Public Opinion about everything including the IRAN WAR.]
Is Part II not the EVIL SCUMBAG PRESS – day after day, dramatically and emotionally as possible ‘reporting?’
Not at all like Craig DeLeeuw Robertson:
Exactly like George Floyd.
[Or almost a century ago, as Horst Wessel was to Adolph Hitler.]
PS. Thanks to (the Idealistic Philosophy of) Georg Friedrich Wilheim Hegel, Civilization has been altered to create the following: WWI, WWII, Marxist Leninism, the Muslim Brotherhood (from the end of the 19th Century to the present) and the mad Iranian Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.
PPS. During WWII, President FDR often, on radio addresses, would say “Patience and Fortitude” during the long years of WWII which became necessary to destroy Political Evil in Imperial Japan and Nazi Germany. If Civilized Political Leaders in the 1930s had the courage to confront Political Evil and had not ‘kicked the can down the road’ with compromise and appeasement, a whole lot less than 80 million human beings would have died to save Civilization.
