It just sums him up so perfectly. His pompous and unwarranted self-regard. He is just SUCH an asshole!

Anger and violence is NOT the answer - but don't you just want to crank up a "right upper-cut" while he's buttoning that jacket?

a right upper-cut from me would not have the desired impact. I would love to see someone wipe the floor with his fat orange ass!

How do you think the other NATO members saw that?
How do you think the Eastern Bloc saw that?
Who's gonna' stand up for whom?
Any weakness in an alliance is an opening for any foreign intervention.
Any show of disrespect towards any member shows disrespect for the entire group.

Changes in "attitudes" and relations between adversaries can be small and miniscule - but changes do mean different attitudes and policies - and all of that can lead to confrontation, and yes, conflict and death.

Just one small step - one small crack............. past enemies have seen them and used them.
