@disappoptimism My reading of it is that BW was not wanting gratitude, but he was cautioning that the US do expect it. And sadly everyone needs them onboard - it would be too easy to lose them to a Trumpist isolationism.
@TheDreadShips ^ This book changed my life! Well not really, but it was the first of my Dads books I read as a kid & I loved it. Would re-read it as an adult every time I visited. Thanks for the memories.
@bellezzasolocle@whooUlooking4 Nathaniel. I love cycling and I know the north circular. The two don’t mix. It’s not the cyclist fault but it’s effing dangerous.
