A Small Talent For War

 

On X there's a trending topic labeled "Nobel Peace Prize" tonight. It's a bunch of MAGAs who amazingly believe, I guess truthfully, that Donald Trump should be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize since he brought about a ceasefire in the Iran-Israel war and will usher in a lasting peace to the Middle East forever and ever. They don't mention, of course, that it was with billions of dollars worth of American taxpayer's military assets deployed in an illegal and very risky incursion of a neutral nation without Congressional approval or fore-warning. And will this "peace" hold? Haven't we all been down this path before?

But let's just say they're right. DJT brought forth unto the globe the dawning of an era of, perhaps, world peace! All Hail Trump!

Unfortunately, the way it works out for us shlups in our fucked up reality is we'd be visited by this guy pictured above: an ambassador of some higher extraterrestrial beings complaining that we lack any value in even existing and should be immediately wiped out since we have shown throughout history, time and time again, that we have "a small talent for war."

EDIT: Welp, go figure. Whoda thunkit? Not even a full day later and, of course, kumbaya-time is over and it's back to normiesville for Iran and Israel. What eloquent words of tactful diplomacy does Fearless Cheeto Leader have to say to the world? Quote: "They don't know what the fuck they're doing!"

At least the Alien Diplomat won't be signaling our annihilation just yet I guess.
