Even just an offer of some kind of help, whether it's manpower, supplies or money, would be the sort of thing most leaders would do, but he's not most leaders.

When Siberia was experiencing all those fires last summer. Maybe he’ll offer to send the Aussies a shipment of rakes.

But imagine if our military went down in force. The country is burning up FFS, 50 million animals dead, 6 species (at least) wiped out. Countless lives ruined. Sad
