What goes around comes around.

Concerning the Strait.

How many other countries leaders are saying, "How can we look like we're helping Trump, but not do much?" "How long can we hold out without hurting ourselves also."

That's what I think I would be saying, but maybe they're more forgiving.

I would more likely think that most of them are locking themselves closets and screaming and smashing the walls for an hour or two to keep themselves from flat telling him to go fuck himself.

But, he got what he knew would be all that got from this - his eager acolytes twisting his invitation into a commitment from all of these countries in SM posts and the millions of brain eating zombies taking that as what was occurring in real life.

They are not governing the country, they are taking a torch to everything and keeping the "base" enraged to scream over the thoughts and words of those of us living in reality.

Also, Zelinsky should tell him about that dude who gave him advice about doing things "when you don't hold all the cards"

Someone didn't check if he had all the cards.

5. I can't see why any country would be willing to send their military to clean up a mess that the con created.
