24. They should have concentrated more on "charm" and less on "offensive."
Fri Mar 28, 2025, 12:17 AM

Charm: we love your nation’s natural beauty, and want to do whatever we can to help you preserve it.

Offensive: we think your nation’s natural beauty has a wonderfully strategic location. Denmark should give it up. Not to the people living there, but to the USA, and thus to whomever has the heaviest influence on the current administration.

Apparently, it hasn’t dawned on the current leaders of the American foreign policy desk that the most effective seduction line is not “let’s fuck.”
