    I’m the guy usually defending diplomatic talk. It’s nothing like how we talk and interpret one another’s words.

    OTOH, I’m screaming at world leaders to grow a pair.

    “Fuck around and find out you you little trust fund bitch. Please, fuck around.”

    High time the world stands up and says, “Nah. Fuck off America. We’ll take what comes.”

    Signed, an American.

    ELI5 how is Trump any better than Putin? Both seem to be following the same playbook of intimidation and unlawful invasions, showing utter disrespect to international law.

      There’s no such thing as international law. It’s free for all. If you have an army, you can also get what you want.

      That’s exactly what Putin wants. He wants the US to behave as he does so that he can say, “see? The US is no better than me.”

      He is not and the US isn’t any better than Russia in that regard. All caused by people with bruised egos playing with people’s lives.

    Gotta love having a president that has to be warned by allies NOT to invade other countries. This is SO great!

    Oh and since not everyone gets it…/s.
