Fire and Ice

Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I’ve tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.

But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

Robert Frost wrote this years ago[2] and it is still relevant today.  The forces of darkness are descending on the United States and globally, and World War III may be approaching rapidly.

China's military has been rehearsing its encirclement of Taiwan, and hitting key targets on the island.[3]  Russia's military is throwing every body possible into its war in Ukraine.  And North Korea has been testing weaponry that might be devastating beyond the Korean Peninsula.

All the while, America has a President who is the laughingstock of the world.  Even his seditious and treasonous Democrats are embarrassed by him.[4]
