Too bad our authoritarian monster wannabe is shitcanning all the relationships on which our security and prosperity depends.

I can't imagine ANY nation he has alienated in a multitude of ways sharing a shred of intelligence with us.

The rate he's going, we probably need an effective "golden dome." Too bad such a thing only exists in his fantasies.
