Цифирки - In March, Mines was one of several national-security experts whom Foreign Policy asked to evaluate the risks of a second civil war—with percentages. Mines concluded that the United States faces a sixty-per-cent chance of civil war over the next ten to fifteen years. Other experts’ predictions ranged from five per cent to ninety-five per cent. The sobering consensus was thirty-five per cent. And that was five months before Charlottesville.
И умиляет, что как и в Донбасской войне, фантасты свой вклад внесли - Anxiety over deepening schisms and new conflict has an outlet in popular culture: in April, Amazon selected the dystopian novel “American War”—which centers on a second U.S. civil war—as one of its best books of the month. In a review in the Washington Post, Ron Charles wrote, “Across these scarred pages rages the clash that many of us are anxiously speculating about in the Trump era: a nation riven by irreconcilable ideologies, alienated by entrenched suspicions . . . both poignant and horrifying.”

Бубенчики звякнули.
— А теперь, если вы изволите сказать «Ради всего святого, Монтрезор!», я, возможно, освобожу вас.
В луче света появилось лицо инспектора. Минута колебания, и вот прозвучали нелепые слова.
— Ради всего святого, Монтрезор.
Стендаль удовлетворенно вздохнул, закрыв глаза.
Вложил последний кирпич и плотно заделал его
— Requiescat in pace, дорогой друг.
