Yet, you're fretting over 9 months where it looks (on paper at least) like we're making some progress?

This isn't a situation where we can just sock a bully (or a crazy) in the mouth. I think they might be on to something here...

Yes I read the article, that's where the quote came from.

I like the word potentially when used about China and Russia getting on board.
We haven't even been able to get our Allie?, Italy to stop selling helicopters to Iran.

It's 11 months now not 9. Another month and he owns it all.

Your right, but you can say what you mean and mean what you say
showing you are coming from a source of power, not bowing down and
making nice.

Tough situation all around with no simple answers, for sure,
but you can't reason with an unreasonable man.
