The world is blessed to have her retiring, undoubtedly to some elite think tank. But we are still far short of the goal - zero "democracy" goons/pushers/enforcers. At least her worst will grace Ukraine for lifetimes and NOT Niger!

That's because fundamentally "democracy" as it is structured today - with piles of control mechanisms layered on top like smothering blankets - doesn't work. It was the overlord's decision to sanction. It was also their decision to reverse that. Too late, though. The Russian influence is firmly fixed and the exodus is permanent which will ultimately breakup ECOWAS and other similar control constructs. Or at least render them neutered until the strings are cut.
For a while yet. But all storms eventually break and the sun comes out. This will be no different. The final storms are more intense because they pick up all the trash and pile it up against the storm break wall. Where all the sleepwalking people can clearly see it.
In 2005, the Southern states of Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama experienced Hurricane Katrina, a very large Category 4. It was still a Category 2 downgrading to 1 when it passed over my house. Weeks later, my brother and some of our workers (construction business) took our heavy equipment down to the coast for volunteer trash removal. Where the storm had come ashore, everything had been scoured whether attached to foundations or not. It all piled up, some in pieces - some intact, dozens of yards deep in a tree line three miles inland. That's the kind of storm this tale will take to end it.

It was interesting how ECOWAS changed it's sanctioning mind.

Troubled but interesting times. Only storms ahead.
