The Geek's Raven
[An excerpt, with thanks to Marcus Bales]

Once upon a midnight dreary,
fingers cramped and vision bleary,
System manuals piled high and wasted paper on the floor,
Longing for the warmth of bedsheets,
Still I sat there, doing spreadsheets:
Having reached the bottom line,
I took a floppy from the drawer.
Typing with a steady hand, I then invoked the SAVE command
But got instead a reprimand: it read "Abort, Retry, Ignore".

We are approaching endgame in Iran --- The Emperor Donald Trump has no clothes

Trump has been playing his Apprentice President games with Iran, and the world as a whole, for a couple of months now, and as he vacillates wildly between threats of mass destruction, and promises of eternal peace and goodwill throughout the Middle East, most people, and very particularly the IRGC, are beginning to find it more and more difficult to actually take him seriously. Sure, he may bomb Iran some more, or not. But, history teaches us that it's impossible without nuclear weapons to actually defeat a nation with air power alone. So, there is babbling in the Trump camp about "economic fury", as if somehow Iran can be brought to its knees by blockading and pirating some Iranian vessels in the Persian Gulf. Possibly, if Iran was an isolated Island, this might have some effect, but, quite obviously, Iran is not. Actually, even mass bombing of all civilian infrastructure in Iran would only make her people more determined to resist America and Israel. Such acts would prove the violence, irrationality and imperialism of the American regime under Donald Trump. As if more proof was really necessary! So, by this time, Iran is simply refusing to negotiate, and Trump is frantically sending offers to Iran via intermediaries simply to get Iran back to the bargaining table. Will Iran come back? Probably only if Trump essentially concedes control of the Middle East, and more particularly the Strait of Hormuz, to Iran. In other words, if Trump runs away, with his tail between his legs. The Emperor has no clothes.
