re: #278 Targetpractice

The idea that Trump looks “strong” or “decisive” right now is laughably wrong. If anything, he is making America look even weaker and less ineffectual than Obama was ever accused of. Threatening military action over hot air (North Korea) or because you don’t like how another country is governing itself (Venezuela) is the shit we used to laugh at when it was a third-world dictator making the threat. Now we’re the third world dictatorship waving its saber impotently around.

Why did the Argentinian government decide to invade the Falklands? Because they had a domestic crisis at hand that the wished to distract from and overcome with a Patriotic War.
