Ah, the 21st century.
Dear Despot.
You know, Donnie, coalitions are best built before you act, and it is not as if you did not have time beforehand. Moving your deadly toys around took plenty of time for diplomatic action; we are not at your command
This has been a decreasing resort ever since 9-11 and the subsequent disaster that was Afghanistan. Each successive war this century has had less and less international support; also, the reasons for these American wars have become increasingly full of holes.
Once upon a time, the US went to the UN to argue its case, even though it was full of holes and lies. Remember the shaking of the yellow vial incident? The one war where you had a chance at a coalition, you have tacitly supported the aggressor, because your eyes gleamed with the victim's minerals. Are they full of the rainbow glistening from sweet oil now? How original.
I know you have not only threatened NATO but most of the world, China included. Seriously? China holds at least 140 days of oil stocks and can no doubt be topped up by its ally, Russia.
I know we are up faecal creek, but we still have half a paddle, and no doubt our leaders will, at some point, reluctantly bend the knee; however, it hardly augers well for the future.
So who are your allies now? A war criminal?
I do hope Americans will slowly undo the damage you, Donnie, have done, but it's going to take a very long time, and there is always the threat of another Prince arising.
