In scale, of course, the current conflict does not match the Vietnam war, which went on for years, led to the deaths of 58,220 US soldiers, and is often perceived as the totemic and unmatchable example of US hubris. By comparison with the Vietnam odyssey, Iran feels more like a day trip. But in terms of consequence, it is still possible that the "excursion" will prove to be the bigger geopolitical turning point for the unrivalled superpower, the moment when the US will have to concede it mishandled a war not just because it had no convincing battle plan, but also no grand strategy to match how the contemporary world works. In an interconnected world, Trump believes progress is achieved through conflict, not cooperation. Trump's "little excursion to Iran", judging by the drafts of the potential peace agreements that are circulating, is being universally perceived as a defeat. Almost regardless of the outcome -- most likely a return to the old status quo -- the war looks ill-conceived, a monument to confused objectives, bad planning and misplaced assumptions.

The president is pilfering money directly from the US treasury " that is, picking our pockets. And he is doing it in plain sight.

It breeds cynicism, and popular cynicism is a necessary ingredient of autocracy and kleptocracy. <p>The autocrat does not just flout the law; he renders it so fungible that as social or moral framework, it becomes meaningless.

On Thursday, the Divers Alert Network (DAN), which coordinated the complex search and recovery operation at the Dhekunu Kandu dive site in Vaavu atoll, announced all the divers' dead bodies had been recovered. The victims were identified as Monica Montefalcone, an ecology professor; her daughter Giorgia Sommacal; marine biologist Federico Gualtieri; researcher Muriel Oddenino; and diving instructor Gianluca Benedetti. The body of Bendetti was recovered earlier outside the cave. Mohamed Mahudhee, a member of the Maldivian national defence force, also died in the tragedy, as a result of decompression sickness after taking part in a recovery mission. "Caves are not dark. Everybody thinks they're dark ... They're devoid of light. Your house at night is dark ... When your light goes out [in a cave], there's nothing," [Edd Sorenson, an American cave diving expert who has led more successful cave diving rescues than anyone else in the world] says.
