Hope springs eternal even when experience
informs the seasoned intelligence that
the expected has a habit of ingraining itself
to the point of no return. The enemy of
one's enemy on occasion turns a Janus
face to view one's enemy as an entity with
whom the business of realpolitik can proceed.
That this emboldens one's enemy to believe
the avenue has opened wide whereby one's
downfall can be quietly plotted and carried
through with no repercussions other than your
very own existential resistance spells out firmly
what should have been acknowledged but was
set aside in the expectation that friendship
would endure in the face of malign pressure
while neglecting to take into account the
predictable, that material gains supersede any
manner of promise to which there is a cost.
