They say
that border incursions
are quite ok provided that
the defenders are lax.

    Central Banks start all wars.
    They are running this country (into the ground)
    Face the true enemy, or just watch it all burn.
    Maybe we can pick a a cheap fiddle to pass the time...

    Sickening. Imitating barbaric practices is no cure, not even as a joke. How about a logical, rational, original solution to inspire all sides to find a real end to wars of human versus human?! Stop elevating the hideous interactions that inevitably lead to world wars. The will and willingness to commit violence is a disease of the mind. How many more millennia will it take for humans to recognize that and overcome it?

    The feeling of the meeting could be for strong penalties for failure.
    bubah1... those remedies sound poetic, however,

    I suggest, leave barbaric punishments to the barbarians.
    The performance of your people depends on all of the type of work, the bonus package and the penalties.
    Pay too much and you will not get the best, you get the money hungry. Apply cruel penalties for failure and you get people who are good at covering up and and faking successes.

    The question applies in particular to Pearl Harbor, the US southern border, and the Gaza/Israel border.
    On all much can be said. ..and will be.

    L, you might consult the history and fate of late Ming dynasty governors, as Manchus were beginning to probe for weaknesses in the Great Wall, for observations about the consequences of being lax about border incursions. Quite a few heads eventually rolled.

    Regarding December 7, all I can think of is FDR, wearing racist, bigot, overconfident blinders, stepping on a tiger's tail and laughing as that tiger clawed at the heart of the US Pacific fleet and about 3000 trusting service personnel. So much for the vigilance of dictator wannabes, licensed by an ignorant, beguiled populace for an unprecedented 3rd term in office as Commander in Chief.
