Meanwhile, back at the point, said lack of news-visible action reminds me of the briefest summation of Machiavelli's The Prince I've ever heard, which it's entirely possible I've mentioned hereabouts before: The ruler who wants to be obeyed can aim to be loved or to be feared. Fear has it every time, says he --- you get your weekends free.
