#PyrrhicVictory

An editorial cartoon shows the same woman repeated six times in a row against a gray background, each wearing a pink top and tan hat, with the same uneasy expression. Above each version of her is a blue thought balloon. From left to right, the balloons read: “AN ENERGY CRISIS…,” “MIDEAST INSTABILITY…,” “IRAN STILL HAS URANIUM…,” “AND THE IRANIAN REGIME IS STILL IN POWER.,” “IF THIS IS VICTORY…,” and “I’D HATE TO SEE DEFEAT.”

☢️⛽🔥😬 When every version of the same “victory” thought ends in the same grim conclusion. #EditorialCartoon #Iran #PyrrhicVictory #ForeignPolicy #Geopolitics

But, the jury awarded only $200, & the judge denied the $70k attorneys' fee request 📉

Putin, like the rest of us, knows that if Trump's US attacks Greenland it will destroy NATO and simultaneously significantly weaken the US. Putin can win all his global objectives, with Trump in power, without having to fire a single round.

Kardashev Type II (but at what cost?) We could likely have A Dyson sphere in 50 years or less Forge a nanobot That can build another Code, persist, process Then launch past orbit At a passing asteroid Flesh of stone, good eats

While the rock ablates, Picked apart in full, Mission now complete Command the robots 'Dismantle Mercury!' Devoured to shreds They turn to Venus Then engulf it completely And unwind its threads

Skipping Earth for now Bots chew Martian soil It doesn't take long Asteroid belt next Meteoroids consumed The bolide's last song Jupiter, Saturn Destined to be abolished The swarm is growing

All other planets Destroy for power The swarm is glowing Transfer consciousness From everyone on Earth The swarm is complete A Dyson sphere in Only 50 years could be Quite an easy feat

Not all victories are worth their cost. A true win lifts others, not buries them. Seek the kind of success where joy echoes, not silence. Build, don’t burn.

Tell the "wins" to all the school children who've gotten #Covid, and then #LongCovid because their schools didn't use the U.S. grant $$$ to install or keep HEPA filters in place - money that was diverted into weapons for police. This is called a #PyrrhicVictory. And the #pandemic is NOT over.

So, I understand the scuttlebutt is that #ElonMusk is getting on #DonaldTrump nerves. I was skeptical until I saw this picture #WinnersCurse #PyrrhicVictory ##LeopardsAteMyFace

@GottaLaff Voting for Trump/sitting out the presidential vote to protest Biden’s Gaza policy is now my new definition of #PyrrhicVictory They got to smugly and safely “vote my conscience” while helping to put in Trump and thus making Netanyu’s absolutely ecstatic that he can now do whatever the […]
