Babhruvahana and the Mongoose Fight the Serpents, 1850

I was in Yala watching two mongooses (mongeese?) fight without fighting. One displayed aggression, digging in and flexing, and the other, not wanting any of that mess, just ran across the road. Now imagine if one mongoose had some brainworm that made him fight no matter what. It’s be a bloodbath and for no good reason at all. That’s global geopolitics these days.

Fake continents like Europe and fake countries like Ukraine, ‘Israel’, and Taiwan are fighting much bigger countries and ignoring serious threat displays like they’ve got a parasitic brain infection. Which they do. America is the brainworm, making countries ignore their natural instinct for self-preservation.

Whether its mice or men, natural or national, anything that claims being likes to hold on to it, and has more ways to avoid fights than get into them. But infection by America short circuits all of this. Suddenly you have someone with no skin in the game, which breaks all the rules. Imagine if our mongoose was controlled by someone 10,000 kilometers away, who made money selling teeth and claws. He’d pick every fight possible, and move onto the next mongoose. Which is precisely what America does.
