    Ah yes, because that fallout wouldn’t affect you personally in any way. Having Russia and/or China as the single most powerful global power wouldn’t even nudge the status quo, yep. Keep rooting for the team in your preferred colors, citizen. They really love you, and personally respect & admire your life’s efforts. Gettem, tiger. Rah rah rah.

      I think your comment is more unnecessary that what you’re replying too. We all get what America means. We all can see where it’s going. We’re just glad that it’s finally progressing. Have another drink.

        Thanks, I don’t.

        Also? That blithe armchair puppies & kittens feel-good outlook fits nicely on a worker drone, but I’m betting that’s not how you’d prefer to see yourself. So, why play one online?
