Reflecting upon the West’s choices to engage in protracted development of the war in Ukraine with Russia, and for Congress’s passage of President Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ that cut taxes on the rich, and adds three trillion to U.S. public debt while attacking the ecosphere, a quote from a video of a chess game between Stockfish and Redfish with 100% accuracy summarized the essence of each;
“When you’re fighting the wrong battle, victory is worse than defeat. When you’re fighting the right battle, victory and defeat don’t matter.”
A quote from the Scarecrow in the Wizard of Oz is also illustrative; “If I only had a brain”.
