Sooner or later, they will return the favor. They will detain a ship from the US. That will give the orange gibbon what he wants to start a full on global conflict. Knowing those insane leaders out there, this will force a nuclear exchange that will make life on this planet impossible.

Or, he will cave in two weeks after all the bloated boasting and dick waving. Either way, it is a stupid thing to be doing and his attempts at looking like a 'strong man' are going to backfire.

My concern is just how bad the 'backfiring' will be.
