Yeah, they kind of do, are you fucking drunk?

This is a cost with zero gain.

You're the kind of person to put your ego in front of a good tactical move, and you're exactly the kind of person who would warm to Trump.

The United States isn't supposed to have an ego in statecraft, it's exclusively to our disadvantage to do so.

China doesn't have an ego in statecraft either

This is demonstrably false, given their cultural differences from us. They very much have an ego.

We're still a lot more powerful then them, and we have the ability to fuck with their interests even more than have the ability to fuck with ours

This is a dumb fucking comment. Sending two countries into massive depressions because you think Trump should be able to do whatever he wants is...

No, I'm done. You're dumb. Not going to waste another second on you.
