I love the Libya model... but I thought telegraphing your plans is exactly what this admin was not going to do?
I think it’s just the carrot and stick being used here. Trump dangles the carrot of economic prosperity and safety / security while Bolton holds the stick and says we’ll do like we did in Lybia. Good cop / bad cop. You have to have a credible threat of military force in order for diplomacy to be effective with deez guyz.
So Bill...very interesting nugget you posted there, albeit with no link or credit for your source. Can we assume that you pulled it from Elite Daily or some other leftist millennial rag? You know, "power to truth" and all that. But FWIW, I actually agree with you on this one. The Little Yellow Dude is most likely putting on a temporary show to win some political concessions, much like his daddy did repeatedly over the decades. Peace would be great, but I won't believe any of this until the ink hits the paper. Trump should probably pump the brakes a bit on this one.
Do you realize that posting stuff like this puts you on the level of Fungus and Shredman? By all means though, toe that party line.
My wife does the same thing, especially with latinos. She uses some kind of hybrid Spanish/Eastern Euro accent. It's embarrassing, but so funny. My daughter and I crack up and mock her when she does it in front of us. She also uses lots of hand gestures, which only adds to the comedy.
Anytime you start a treadde on a POLITICAL situation on a surf predictin forum, you gotta expect this and don't be all get off my lawn. I thought it was funny, totally nonconstructive, and a fine example of partisan bs.
The person I was responding to has never posted in a surf related thread and posts the most annoying partisan garbage. I'm going to call that loser out every time he replies to one of my posts.
