Israel has bombed Palestine, Iran, Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, Qatar, and Tunisia in just the last year. Russia-backed ships have been cutting undersea telecom cables. And a Chinese invasion of Taiwan seems imminent.

We’re in the Confederation Timeline from Picard S2. Khan didn’t happen in that iteration of events.
It fits. Awful season, awful reality.
Agh, fuck. Where’s Q when you need him?
He’s who gave some dipshit the idea to make Trump reality TV star and started all this.
