Exactly. This Is Called Truism ...

 ... that is the statement which is obviously true and is universally accepted as such. It is present in different iterations across all cultures. As Larry notes: If You Have to Tell People You’re the G.O.A.T., Then You Are Not. Correct. Larry elaborates:

I think most of you reading this post will agree that Donald Trump is an insecure, toxic narcissist, but he posted a flurry of posts on Truth Social on Monday that sealed the deal. This is not normal behavior. For those of you not familiar with current slang, G.O.A.T. stands for Greatest Of All Time.

Here is the complete list of the 12 Truth Social posts (original posts and reposts) made by President Donald J. Trump between 10:24 PM and 10:30 PM ET on May 10, 2026 that triggered me. This was part of a much larger evening posting spree (over 40–55 posts total that night) focused on self-praise, election-related claims, and supporter-generated memes. Most items in this narrow 6-minute window were rapid reposts of flattering content from supporters rather than original long-form text from Trump. Instead of focusing on Americans who are paying soaring prices for gasoline, diesel and food — all a consequence of Trump’s boneheaded, dangerous policy gambits — Trump pretended he was the wicked Queen in Snow White and asked the mirror, Who is the Greatest Of All Time:

... with dollars, you fight with actual capability which US military-industrial-congressional complex is incapable of delivering, period!

It takes way more than bloated military budget--it is a systemic problem which now cannot be resolved within present, utterly corrupt, political and economic system. Simple as that. 

It Doesn't Matter ...

 ... what kind of "Dome", golden, silver or brilliant, will be invented. Nothing can stop it. 

And for those (primarily in the West) who still continue to deny reality, here is some data (again):

MOSCOW, May 12 — RIA Novosti. Russian President Vladimir Putin called the Sarmat complex the most powerful in the world, congratulating the Strategic Missile Forces on the successful launch of the latest intercontinental ballistic missile. "The total power of the delivered warhead is more than four times higher than the power of any existing most powerful Western analogue," he said. In addition, the missile can move not only along a ballistic, but also along a suborbital trajectory, and the flight range exceeds 35 thousand kilometers. This makes it possible to overcome all existing and future missile defense systems. The first missile regiment will be put on combat duty by the end of the year.

To understand--this thing can fly around the globe on any trajectory, it also carries up to ten hypersonic maneuvering blocks. Good luck ... 

Open Thread.

Very busy. Go at it. 

Another War ...

 ... lost. IDF is being pulverized. Aren't they, like the US military, the finest, the greatest and the most moral military ever? I am being facetious, of course. 

 

Something Really ...

 ... nice for a change.
