Muir Insists The Present Reminds Of Something From The Past He Doesn't Understand.

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Zorro's Fighting Legion.

It's always tiresome when Muir launches yet another pseudointellectual explanation of history and strategy, as it's invariably a demonstration that he knows next to nothing about either of those things, and is frequently transparently cribbing from someone else who knows only a little more.

But this time, we have the added wrinkle of Muir trying to make a silk purse out of the pig's ear of Trump's chaos, and we can see the flaw he and his idol share. Muir applauds Trump for ambitions... that are a lessening of the US's power. Because of course, he cannot see power based on mutually beneficial alliances as real. Like most fascists, he mistakes violence and cruelty for power. Thus, like Trump, he stares at the fading regional hegemony of Putin's Russia, and because of its naked thuggery, assumes this is the real deal, and like, an extra-stupid version of Buck Turgidson, says "Man, I wish we had one of those!"
