Jeff Tiedrich - stop being mean to Donny, Vlad -- you're making him cry

the Oxford English Dictionary — the go-to for all things wordtastic — defines diplomacy as ‘the profession, activity, or skill of managing international relations, typically by a country’s representatives abroad.’

the key words in that definition are ‘profession’ and ‘skill.’

sane countries chose their diplomats from a body of skilled professionals who have made it their life’s work to know how to say exactly the right thing, in any situation — because it makes no sense for a country to have hothead fuckwits mucking about, barking out crazy shit and blundering into wars.

that’s why it’s always super fucking hilarious to watch Mad King Donny conduct high-level foreign policy by the seat of his pants while melting all the way down on his crappy app.
