Ah, so that's how you get The Guardian to say nice things (retrospectively at least) about the US.

There's a yellow man obsessed with people saying nice things about him. No one needs more of that.

Free and open trade (creating the peace on the oceans that allows for flags of convenience), and the space and expectation for countries to resolve differences through dialogue and membership in international institutions.

It's that a new meaning of arbiter?
Judge/witness doesn't seem to fit.

The correlation between never-ending chaos and the release of Epstein material is extremely strong. The seemingly unplanned nature of the Iran operation exposes the fact that there is no clear plan or goal. After the initial "Weapons of Mass Distraction" attack, it all seems to be played by ear.
At prayer meetings rather than military planning sessions.[0]
Using God as a cover for crime? Hard to imagine, eh? [1]
The crimes of "The Epstein Class" including illicit sex, blackmail and money-laundering are perhaps the greatest in all of recorded history. I expect a world war, or the modern version of it, unlimited drone warfare, and possibly the use of nuclear weapons, to be the response.
