Childish destruction is really in its own category too.

I would say different US leaders over the decades have had varying degrees of financial acumen when it comes to being able to afford things like NATO, without contributing most strongly to pressure on poor & middle class.

Though no doubt a truly rich country has been able to afford it through thick & thin, as long as there is decision-making consistently at above-average levels, with no undercurrents or personal tendencies toward financial incompetence, malfeasance or outright criminality in sight.

When the fool who drops the ball is closer to the top though, expect it to take a whole lot longer to recover the same yardage that was lost, if at all.

Every now and then there are shameful milestones that just can not be recovered from.

Some things you just can't fix.

Let’s not forget the party that does everything possible to help fool and cover for his behaviour and choices.

It’s madness. I’m deadly serious when I call this a Cultural Revolution.

It makes Brexit look like a kindergarten game.
