The Art of the Misdeal 0

Over at Balloon Juice, in the midst of a longer post in which he touches on a number fo topics, John Cole puts his finger on why Donald Trump’s war of choice on Iran is not going according to plan (assuming, that is, there ever ever was a plan).

It’s as neat a summing up as I think you’ll find:

One of Trump and many in his regime’s problem is being simply incapable of realizing that other nations and people have agency. People will react to provocations and attacks, and they are not obligated to react in a way that you proscribe.

This website does not track you.

It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
