Sorry. Not Sorry.

[Attention, Justin. Everyone is cheating and if you can't figure out who the patsy is in this global poker game, it is you.]
Because you can’t afford to play by the rules in the world of cutthroat geopolitics where there’s a real risk that a neighboring country will invade, butcher, murder, conquer your land, bomb the hell out of you, attack you with sophisticated cyber warfare, or use chemical, biological, or atomic bombs.

When you face existential threat and the leader of a country has to protect citizens from an adversary that bypasses the rules or doesn't even consider them as applicable to them, only the weak-minded and clueless shout “foul play.”

There is one language spoken among nations: power and deterrence. If your enemies can't make you think twice about the consequences of attacking you or going after you, they smell weakness and will proceed. You can cry until Judgment Day that this should not be happening to you because you're a nice person and surely something must be done, but the only realistic action is to never allow this to occur in the first place.

Some of these things I still miss

I grew up without safe spaces.
I grew up without trigger warnings.
I drank water from the hose.
I ate peanuts in class.
None of us wore a helmet.
Kids got hurt. We fell down. And we signed a lot of casts.

We couldn’t pause TV. We’d call out “It’s on!” as soon as the commercials started to end (for those who had left the room). And we watched our favourite shows as a family.

There was no next day delivery.
There was no bundle this with that.
There was no internet. Skip the Dishes didn’t exist.
Fast food was not the norm. It was easier to eat healthy. There were home phones. There was VH.........
