Because the leader in Washington was told lights were flashing red.

How was this determined?

HIGH TREASON
by José Emilio Pacheco
translation of “Alta traición” and comments by Dave Bonta

I don’t love my country. Her abstract glory eludes me.


But (this may sound bad) I would give my life


for ten of her places, for certain people,


ports, pine forests, fortresses,

for a ruined city, gray and monstrous,


for several of her historical figures,


for mountains — and three or four rivers.
