When the treaty was finally approved in 1919, Lloyd George gloomily predicted, “We shall have to fight another war all over again in twenty-five years.”

More gloomily, the holiday was observed against a backdrop of continued fighting.

"I think this war will not be resolved in the battlefield. It will end with a political deal," he said gloomily.

But if even a few of the arms wind up on the black market instead of the battlefield, a Ukrainian lawmaker gloomily predicted, “we’re done.”

He sighs on his couch and gloomily watches daytime television.
