I guess these libturds give no credence to the axiom ‘keep your friends close and your enemies closer’.I would observe that certainty is the refuge of those who cannot be bothered with probability, and apocalypse, the favored punctuation of those who have mistaken tone for evidence. As for Allison's “Thucydides Trap,” which has become one of those fashionable historical talismans, like invoking Machiavelli without having read past the jacket flap. It is invoked not to illuminate events, but to dignify foregone conclusions with the incense of antiquity. But here we see it presented as historical law rather than a statistical trend.
