What the fuck is going on in canada?

But shooting the reservist doing ceremonial guard at the tomb of the unknown soldier, that makes my fucking blood boil.

You're dealing with people who are fucking nuts to begin with. Rationality is not their long suit.

They may be mindless grunts, but the minds that control them seem to exhibit a considerable level of rationality. Those minds are playing one of worst hands ever delt to any significant international fraction rather better than might be expected. Compare that to the United States of 2001-2012, which was delt the most powerful hand that was ever delt to any international player, and played against other players who manifestly had practically no cards, and yet the United States had managed to loss most of what we started with, and is struggling not to lose more.

All evidence seems to be that outside their delusions about the Koran, they see the real chessboard on which both they and we play much more clearly than we do, and play more ruthlessly by our reckoning (not by theirs as they think killing people with drones as being equally ruthless as terrorism) but also more rationally.

If rationality is judged by result of one's actions in pursuit of one's goals using means available to one, then the U.S. has been one of the rather less rational players in the world, and has repeatedly played vastly superior hands into the ground. I have yet to come up with any examples after 1814 where the U.S. played a hand equal to those of our opponents and won.
