    I suppose, but we’re talking about international diplomacy. And a modern one at that.

    Trump’s strong arming sounds so 19th century though. His open threat of taking Panama canal, Canada, Greenland, and renaming the Gulf of Mexico is so manifest destiny.

      20th century too! If a government didn’t do what we wanted them to do, we just couped their government, and installed a dictator.

      I mean, how do you think Sadaam Hussein got into power?

      Yes, it does have a lot of similarities.
