Warning lights are flashing. Sirens are wailing. A historic “perfect storm” is bearing down on us. Perhaps we’re already in the eye of it, as “highly classified” war plans are hashed out with text messages and “fist bump” emojis while our commander-in-chief rants like a Tudor monarch about an unflattering portrait.
Indeed, as the Trump administration staggers into its tenth week—that’s right, we’re only 60-some days in to this second term—the ominous clouds on the horizon show we’re headed for disaster. The good news is: I’m not talking about climate change. (Though it’s definitely true about climate change as well.)
This brewing perfect storm is less meteorological, more political. Like… World War I. Remember what they teach us about The War to End All Wars? So much had to go wrong. Europe was reconfiguring. “Entangling alliances” tied the hands of diplomats who were reporting to an unluckily large number of inept world leaders. Industrialization was making mass-killing easier. Disaster!
