Wait… world leaders can ask politely for a favor, get it granted and gratefully acknowledge it in public? I forgot that was an option.
The fuckers were at something like 70% + of their oil coming through Hormuz? Their need for relief under these conditions is obvious.
“Diplomacy”.
Just spelling it out loud for burgerlanders. That concept hasn’t been imported yet.
I like Japan. Germany and Italy are pretty cool too
Very nice to see that we are returning the favor, this is how allies should act.
🇪🇺🤝🇯🇵
What favour from Japan did Europe return?
I can hear Trump’s voice in the back of my mind in such a situation; “they just aren’t strong enough”
