No 20/20 needed: it's NOW.
Our Leader has stated overtly, and on many occasions confirmed with slightly altered phraseology:
The US does not care what *Anyone* else in the world thinks, including the UN - and clearly including the demographic 'opinions' within even the few supposed remaining 'ally-Governments', re our now inexorable first-strike.
Many, many have failed to see the urgency of this action, on through today's date - per se and comparative to other world problem situations also developing.
I call this a pattern of Imperialistic behaviour and of disdain for the opinions of (billions?) - including US citizens, as regards our own new problems of Constitutional erosion. This ain't about foresight - it is about present-sight.
WTF - this is all moot. We can all watch the phenomenon unfold.
(Best get your overseas flying in reel soon, y'know?) Any bets on the shape of the web in 6 mos? in one year? as received in the US.

PS - invented persona? Hah: you will advocate status quo on every issue, predictably. Of course you are merely playing Devil's advocate. Sure, that's it. Hmmmm whatever happened to that female officer-pilot who wouldn't wear a sack? It seems that more than just us loonies noticed that which you deemed silly at the time. Persona ?
