(12,424 posts)You do not bow or bend or kiss ass when its comes to Agent Orange. When reasonable suggestions fail, you make your own way without regret or apology because Trump is an unreliable and totally dishonest broker.
PM Carney knows that as do nearly all Canadians. Carney has been blunt and tells the truth, a Kryptonite move for Don-the-Con.
Newsom is clearly frustrated with European leaders who still try to appease, cajole or think reason has a place in the Trump Universe.
They do not.
Smaller democracies may think that by staying silent they'll avoid Trump's wrath and vicious demands.
They will not.
Donald Trump and his sycophants are attempting to overturn the World Order, all international law and a Western Alliance that has kept the world relatively safe since World War II.
It's a hair-on-fire moment for all of us, Americans and Europeans alike.
Newsom has seen the danger up close and personal. You may not like his style but that was a clear warning, a Paul Revere outburst, made by a Governor on the inside who's been fighting this maniac from the start.
There's no time to be offended or pretend diplomatic niceties are going to save the day.
We're way past that.
