    As long as they are prepared to fight back with zingers like “I’m sorry I don’t have a plane to give you”, I’m good with it.

      I think that joke in on them. There is a reason the are selling- and giving them away: Those things became way to expensive to operate.

    TL;DR:

    World leaders are rethinking White House visits after Trump’s confrontational tactics turned diplomatic meetings into political ambushes. South African President Cyril Ramaphosa was blindsided by Trump pushing debunked far-right claims about “White farmer genocide,” complete with a dramatic, lights-dimmed slideshow of sensationalized headlines.

    The pattern mirrors Zelensky’s tense Oval Office grilling earlier this year, because of this repeated intimidation a White House invitation now carries reputational risk.

    I know this one doesn’t say a lot that the headline doesn’t but I’m still putting it here to save people the trouble of reading the article.

    The U.S. is going to be a country no one wants to interact with in any way. It’s going to have worse problems than North Korea, but it’s not going to have a bigger country like China to provide it aid. Things are going to get really bad.

      No one wants to but they well. Who do you replace the US with? There is no one it has the biggest economy. If it goes into a depression it’s pulling everyone else down with it.
