All of them know Europe is at stake.

I asked DH: what shiny toy can they give the dangerous toddler?

We all know the answer, don’t we? The question is how can these smart leaders maneuver toddler poopy-pants into giving them the necessary peace agreement that strips his bestie of the land he’s taken from Ukraine and sends Vlad the hell away.

Flatter, flatter, maneuver, maneuver. Expect flattery that will make us gag to hear it. If it works, it will be worth it. Dangle the shiny toy before his eyes. Gods willing, tie him up in greedy emotional knots. Get everything needed. No ice cream until you eat all your spinach.

And get it done before JD gets rid of him, because JD is a cold fish owned by a cold technocrat.

Y’know, even though I’m rephrasing a helluva lot — hubby’s idea sounded an awful lot like our former Sec. of State Hillary Clinton.
