Its almost like there's a whole other geopolitical situation unfolding than the one being sensationalized for the past 24 months of "everyone hates us now because orange man bad". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thurmal34 Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 We should leverage our ambassador to Turkey and our ambassador to Saudi Arabia to help us figure out this situation. What? We don’t have either? I should have known. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I said? Interesting to see how few ambassadorships have been filled since Jan 16, it's unprecedented. Bringing it up will get me mocked though, i'm sure. "we don't need ambassadors", "it was intentional, etc". Hey, why use diplomatic statecraft when we can weaken our stature worldwide with the best words and an unsecured telephone?

That's on you and your boy to show yourself whatever weird point you are trying to make, which who knows what that is. International diplomacy has been an abject failure since 1787. Thank goodness GG was able to point out that Benjamin Franklin's mission to France had nothing to do with America defeating England. Because, you know, brown immigrants or something. The stupid.

Our ambassador to NKorea has been a Godsend, I'll give you that. But on the other hand, I wish our ambassador to Russia would have stopped the meddling, collusion, and coverup in 2016. It would have made the difference in the election. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
