> Trumpers were brave and full of bravado

Agreeing to drop bombs on people far away, without being in any danger yourself, is not being brave.

Ah sorry not in regard to that, more blowing a foot off to get an itch - so in context, ignoring all the things that would happen if they were to antagonise the region, certainly brave. There is no winning with a large population because one only needs a handful to be determined to keep shipping on their toes.

So: Ignoring international agreed laws and understandings that have been hashed out over the last half century ... becoming an economic terrorist to feather their and those of their ilk's nest ... becoming a pariah to any half educated person who knows or has experienced what malignant type personalties are ... at some point one has got to be either brave or stupid risking that if someone else (who's got a few billion spare) ignored international conventions and decided any despised economic terrorist should be dealt with in a ruthless and expedient manner.

But Trumpers have done wonderful things to further alternative fuel ideas these last few months.
