The Bride and Her Bachelors

"The Bride Stripped Bare By Her Bachelors, Even" (Duchamp)

Was the object of Zelensky's trip consciously or unconsciously to disrupt? You've heard about the bride or groom who creates a scene whose motive is ultimately to allay a marriage. And what about the entourage? What about the best man? Naked came the stranger, David, Goliath? What’s the paradigm and what's the potential paradigm shift. A relationship counselor might have stated that the US under Trump no longer is interested in taking on the responsibility of making the world safe for democracy (a mandate going back to Woodrow Wilson). Further, Ukraine no longer wants to be the country cousin accepting handouts from a demeaning relative who they're bidden to please. Will Starmer, Macron et al remain faithful to their bachelor, thereby creating a new if precarious world order, one where NATO, assumes another anagram and still prevails?
