@RWMaloneMD As a computer programmer of over 35 years, my intensive research into these mRNA vaccines has led me to view the matter in similar terms -- but with a programmer's perspective that suggests potential caveats. Permit me to explain:
1/5
@RWMaloneMD The human immune system – our "native" environment – routinely passes "instruction sets" to cells in order to address a detected event, such as an "invader" of exogenous origin. We have come to understand a lot of what goes on in this respect, BUT NOT ALL.
2/5
@RWMaloneMD These mRNA vaccines reflect a partial understanding of how to induce certain reactions in our cells – but we are not yet certain that the "instruction set" we are introducing is accounting for ALL of the parameters expected.
3/5
@RWMaloneMD Nor is there logic embedded in these artificially introduced instruction sets to detect and react to "error conditions" because of our failure to account for all of the expected parameters.
4/5
@RWMaloneMD Thus, just as a junior programmer, working to modify a long-existing program, lacks the understanding to account for all the expected instructions and potential error conditions, he is apt to achieve a primary objective while inadvertently causing unforeseen complications.

One of the most common claims about the Trump 45 administration is that “He didn’t start any new wars.”
This is demonstrably FALSE.
During his first term, Trump became the ultimate causal agent for every one of the current conflicts with Russia, China, Iran, and Venezuela.
He not only maintained the trajectory of these conflicts as established by previous US administrations, but he dramatically raised the stakes and quickened the pace of the march to war.

Ukraine
In Ukraine, between 2017 and 2021, the already commenced preparations of #TheMotherOfAllProxyArmies were expanded and accelerated to an unprecedented degree.
Almost two-dozen covert US intelligence bases were established throughout eastern Ukraine. Large numbers of Ukrainian armed forces personnel were rotated through US/NATO training programs. Ukrainian officers were instructed in the use of US/NATO communications and intelligence / surveillance / reconnaissance (ISR) data. A chain of command was established from Kiev to US/NATO headquarters at Ramstein Air Base in Germany. US heavy weaponry was pre-staged in Poland, and preliminary deals were made with former Warsaw Pact countries (many of them now NATO members) to provide legacy Soviet artillery, armor, ammunition, and fighter aircraft to Ukraine.
Ukrainian troops were introduced to the use of Javelin Anti-Tank Guided Missiles, M-777 155mm howitzers, and HIMARS Multiple-Launch Rocket Systems.
Some of the legacy Soviet aircraft types in the Ukrainian Air Force were modified to carry and launch US/NATO missiles.
The massive fortification complex in the Donbass region was extended and strengthened.
A few thousand US/NATO “contractors” were integrated into the Ukrainian military – with preference given to the hard-core neo-Nazi brigades, who were considered to be the “elite” units in the AFU.
The strategic focus during the entire Trump 45 administration was to complete the preparation of the Ukrainian military to attack and crush the Russia-leaning separatists in the Donbass, and to then retake Crimea, which the Russians had seized in the aftermath of the 2014 American-led coup d’état in Kiev – and which was formally reassimilated into the Russian Federation as a result of an overwhelming popular referendum vote.
Trump has even bragged about the fact that he was the one who began to arm the Ukrainians to a far greater extent than Obama had ever done.
“I was the one that gave the Javelins. Remember the famous Javelins? That was me. It wasn’t Obama. It wasn’t Biden. It wasn’t anybody else. It was me. And they wiped out a lot of tanks with those Javelins. The expression was, ‘Obama gave sheets’. And I gave Javelins. That was a big deal at the time. That was at the beginning, when people said, ‘Wow, that’s something!’ Well, that was American equipment. Without American equipment, this war would have been over very quickly.”

This is the irrefutable fact: the Trump 45 administration both hastened and made inevitable the war whose final fuse was lit in early February 2022 when the Ukrainians commenced a broad-front artillery escalation against what they claimed to be Donbass militia positions, but which were indistinguishable from random civilian targets.
All of these factors combined compelled the Russians to move decisively (and sooner than they wanted) to extend their strategic depth in the region.
All those who claim Trump has no culpability for the war in Ukraine are either ignorant of the abundant objective facts, or in denial thereof.
Several prominent geopolitical voices were raising the alarm about war in Ukraine even before Victoria Nuland, John McCain, Lindsey Graham et al. goose-stepped through the streets of conquered Kiev in 2014.
A major twist has emerged in the Israel / Iran War.
Pakistan is apparently deadly serious about taking Iran under its nuclear umbrella.
In my April 2024 essay All for One and One for All, I wrote the following:
1/
It did not occur to me at the time that Pakistan would be a potentially major player in a US/Israel war against Iran. That was an embarrassing oversight on my part.
Even a cursory glance at a map of the region should have prompted me to examine the question more closely.
2/
Of course Pakistan will be a major player in this war!
And it doesn't matter if Pakistan really would nuke Tel Aviv in response to an Israeli nuclear attack against Iran.
All that matters is that they OFFICIALLY DECLARE that Iran is being taken under their nuclear umbrella!

🧵 The Eurasian Entente and the End of American Hegemony
In the years preceding the Ukraine War, the dominant view was that the China/Russia partnership was a tenuous marriage of convenience. In the face of much ridicule, I consistently argued against this perspective.
1/
I have long been convinced a Russia / China partnership is a perfectly logical and mutually beneficial course of action for the neighboring Asian superpowers — and that it contained all the elements for an enduring and harmonious relationship.
2/
Here in 2025, my perspective on the issue continues to be vindicated by events.
In fact, the cooperative anti-hegemonic movement in Asia has gained even greater momentum — particularly in light of Iran's increasing prominence as a third-pole in an expanding entente.

I recommend the commentary linked below in relation to US/Russia "negotiations" to end the war in Ukraine.
In subsequent posts, I will link to the ESSENTIAL DOCUMENTATION of RUSSIA'S PEACE TERMS as clearly enunciated over the past several years.

Essential Documentation
First is Vladimir Putin's landmark speech at the 2007 Munich Security Conference. I have linked below to a transcript which includes the essential Q&A session which followed the speech.
I have commented since February 23, 2022 on the question of the Banderite remnants of Ukraine prosecuting a protracted insurgency in the face of a decisive Russian military victory.
Although I've been posting for years in this forum about the obsolescence and vulnerability of the aircraft carrier, this was my first formal treatise on the topic — almost two years old now:
