I'm talking about other countries' leaders trusting a word we say, at any level of the diplomatic spectrum. I'mtalking about other countries continuing topurchasde weapons from our MIC, given that Trump snatched back paid-for goods, and given that Trump showed the world our super-super high-tech golly-gee billion dollar weapons can be depleted to nothing within weeks by paper airplanes and cardboard kites.
I'm talking about the US being asked in the coming weeks to please get our asses out of their countries - "their" meaning the Arab States whoare members of the Abraham Accords.
We're are on the same page with that.
PR, credibility, allies' confidence, etc.
To be honest, all that **** isn't all that plentiful in either direction. No doubt we've squandered ours somewhat but dealing with EU trash and "self-righteous when it suits them" types shouldn't garner them any trophies either. Governments generally suck. A necessary evil as it were.
Please seat yourself.
I like the very things you hate.
