Thucydides Revisited

 I wrote of Thucydides last week who observed that right solutions can only come with disputants of equal power. My brother implied I was like the 90 pound weakling lying on the beach with my Softwood Lumber Girlfriend, and Donald Trump (alias Charles Atlas), the muscular bully, kicking sand in my eye. I don't really mind being conflated with Canada, or Thucydides but not the 90 pound weakling. My youngest brother phoned him up and scolded him which gave me some pleasure. The fact that Thucydides may be usually right is a challenge for our country that sand not be kicked in our eye and that power does not come exclusively from having the most Triremes in the water.
