A Month Ago I Said That Our Naval Ships Would Be Sitting Ducks If They Went Near Hormuz

8. I often refer to Cheeto as the 'American Galtieri'

Though Galtieri was, of course, unelected, both very much appealed to the Archie Bunker types in their respective countries - despite both being raving elitists.

Both very much believed that it's a rich man's world - while imposing harsh austerity on everyone else (almost as a kind of human sacrifice).

Both were demented narcissists. And both resorted to wars when the public turned against them.

The hard-drinking Galtieri, incidentally, was the Reagan administration's "favorite Argentine" - until he took to striking at none other than the Brits.

(and lucky for Maggie that he did!)
