Analysis
What Happened With The US troops
2020 saw President Trump take out General Sulaman in a strategic strike. The Iranians were sent a message to not escalate and it worked. So, my anticipation is a strike on a specific target in Iran, not necessarily on Iranian territory. The goal is to send a strong message without starting a war. President Biden wants to create deterrence without escalating into a regional battle. We're close to potential peace in the Middle East, so the last thing he wants is to blow up another front. These proxy groups have a lot to gain by attacking the US base. Iran denies involvement beyond financing them. The small proxy groups like to diminish US prestige in the region without going to war. Iran is happy to see the US pushed out of Iraq and Syria. By attacking the US, these groups gain status and prestige. Iran's involvement goes beyond financing, it provides inspiration.

The True Tragedy of Mr Wickham
In Pride and Prejudice, Mr Wickham's story genuinely is a tragic one, but it's a tragedy of his own making. George Wickham had every advantage in life, far above his station. Honestly, he was given significantly above even what might be expected to be given to the godchild of a gentleman. All he had to do, in order to be set for life, was put in a bit of hard work, and then avoid running up debts beyond his income.

A Day with a Book
Book Stats: Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky, published in the year 1866. Today I had some free time on hand, so I decided to return the previously borrowed book from the library as the date of return was closing by. Cycling to the library while enjoying the cool breeze and silent street, it was still early in the day. The library only had the librarian who was sorting out the books. Returning the book I asked for a recommendation on a deep moralistic novel, the librarian gave me a smile and pushed a book towards me. Taking it I sat by the window in the library and started reading. It is Russian language, though I am not proficient in this language, I know enough to get by. So I started reading it took me quiet sometime but here's my opinion on it.

Rachel Reviews: The Greater Good by Frank Sapienza
One of the joys of reading is that you are often presented with situations that you can only hope to imagine. They could be fantastical but they could also be based on real life scenarios. Some of these can be good but some of them can be the embodiment of your worst nightmare. Books provide a sample menu, I think, a bit like films, where you get a taste of a situation or a world and you can see if you like it or realise it's one you hope never to encounter in real life. Like The Terminator or Sophie's Choice as two excellent examples.
