"But then again none of them have had to negotiate in their entire lives. It's so blatantly obvious to those with negotiating experience."

"But then again none of them have had to negotiate in their entire lives. It's so blatantly obvious to those with negotiating experience."
Exactly. Just as we're seeing with the incompetents running Europe, they have NO management skills. They're ONLY politicians. No skills dealing with real people, only with each other (as they divvy up the real people's pies).
I'm hopeful that there are future GOP leaders who are watching and learning from Trump HOW to BE negotiators and managers, not merely how to be vote-getters.
Trump is creating a whole new paradigm. I only hope we have folks smart enough to recognize it, so we never return to the old.
The creators of Monty Python could not have made this stuff up, although they came close in their "It's every man's right to have babies if he wants them!" sketch.
Its really going to be funny when all these gleaming heads figure out that the world is one massive crime scene.
Our entire system of governance/politics, across the world, has not suffered any consequences for so long that they've become total imbeciles - they're totally unaware of it
Western civilizations leaders are terrorists. Change my mind. Basically what we're seeing is what happens when empires are in decline, deliberately done by design by the overlords:
We get weak, corrupt, venal, not particularly intelligent rulers - and did I mention corrupt?
Basically Caligula without the charisma - or Nero without the musical talent.
El Gato Malo wrote a compelling piece in Substack a couple of days ago on this general subject. I'm sure you and probably everyone reading this knows of it, but I'll link to it just the same.
Agree in principle, but I’m not sure what the Europeans can actually do now if Putin already knows that the US will not support them. This may have been the problem when Biden was so gung-ho and overriding Macron etc. Maybe the US had Kompromat on a lot of those leaders?

Appropriately titled "the global crime scene" ~ https://boriquagato.substack.com/p/the-global-crime-scene
Oh yeah. I dont miss any articles from gato or Jeff, whether i comment or not....or don't get around to reading it for a couple days.
Probably my two favorites as well as Chris Bray and eugyppius
Bay of Pigs betrayal by CIA 4/61
Operation Northwoods cancelled by JFK - 3/62
JFK assassinated 11/63
Monty Python also nailed it with their "Silly Party" sketch.
“A republic, if you can keep it.”
