Thank you. Clear, limpid, very instructive. It also sounds so contemporary, so familiar..

I smelled it for months, now. Something in me knew it. It's not been decided recently by Russia. I'm not surprised. It reminds me of something. The power of historical patterns. Stalin making a deal with Hitler over Poland. 20 000 000 million deaths and some decades later, same sinister pattern, same bloody error, same stupid self-shooting in the foot. Rimbaud: I is another. Je est un autre. Time to read about the realms of the depths of the psyche we're unconscious of - but which drives us through and down dire and incredible garden paths. We're driven by powers we're not conscious of. That's my take on it. Today.
