    I wonder if they understand how angry people are becoming here in Europe.

    I wonder if they understand the risks that entails.

      “if they understand”… you frikkin kidding me? their twice elected president is a known pedo swindler and those with any sense of reason left are less numerous by the day with shootings and ICE running loose all over the place so asking Americans these days to understand or be understanding is kinda much, Putin and Xi were known assholes and Trump just kept spinning tall tales that “they bad we better” and in the end is just as bad as both of them.

          The “flood the zone with shit” strategy requires constant distraction. Distraction is the whole point.

            The problem of course, is that although it may work on the public, it doesn’t work on businesses and other governments.

            So before long you’re seen as unreliable, business avoids investing in your country, your allies abandon you, and your economy ends up in the toilet.
