When Joseph Lister began advocating germ theory in the 19th century, his critics ridiculed him. One man would walk into the operating theatre, slam the door, and say: "There, Mr. Lister's germs can't get in!" Never thought when I was writing THE BUTCHERING ART that we'd be backsliding into the past.

Trump won't even agree to meet. Kill Aukus now. Let's consult the best national security minds on how to be as independent as possible. We can count on only chaos from Trump's henchfools, not a real protection alliance. Don't deal with white-supremacist, anti-science, anti-women dictators.
