It should by now be evident to anyone paying any attention at all that the swamp has overcome the Constitution, we are no longer a nation of laws, and thus the union is desolved. Welcome to the newly minted Banana republic!
Merry Christmas!
Just finished watching an episode of Star Trek DS9 where the Dominion was making deep inroads into the Alpha Quadrant, and where world after world was compliantly signing a Non Aggression pact with the Dominion in the face of mounting threats from the Dominion’s menacing Jem'’Hadar forces. It was shaping up to be a “peaceful†takeover of the Alpha Quadrant, it seemed.
Meanwhile, Deep Space 9 has been observing waves of Jem'’Hadar troop convoys entering the Alpha Quadrant through the wormhole every week. What to do?
Finally, Starfleet orders Sisko to mine the entrance to the wormhole and stop any more Dominion convoys from entering the Alpha Quadrant. But, Odo notes that if the Federation tries to stop those convoys, “it may very well start a war.â€
Sisko looks around at his officers in the briefing room and intones, “Maybe so...but one thing is certain. We’re losing the peace, which means a war could be our only hope.â€
And a Merry Christmas to you, too,
