re: #155 Fozzie Bear

Well, you can try to think long term in this situation, but it doesn’t do you any good, because if we commit to a prediction of what will happen, and it doesn’t happen, we are fucking ourselves.

There really isn’t any other move for the US to make other than keeping it vague and waiting it out. It’s our only rational move.

At the same time, the “hands-off” approach leaves us open to accusations that we don’t care about how things work out, just so long as they work out good for us. That any government that takes the reins of power can’t rely upon us to be a dependable ally.
