    - In all honesty I have to say that the current Yankee President is the most sincere and less hypocrite one that has graced the Oval Office since I got use of memory..., many..., many years ago...
    - He perfectly represents the Core Values of Yankeeism and Wild Capitalism...

    - I Tænk that..., after today's news, we can add a couple of dozens Countries from the Global South to that list...

    - Soon to be followed by many others from the Global East and a couple or so from the Global North...

    Capisce...?

    MAGA!

    Meanwhile our harvest is going very well. We expect our first shipment to occur this Thursday.

    This Argenzuelan BSW (Bündnis Sahra Wagenknecht) Sympathiser says...:
    - Nothing new about the “BIG STICK” method..., hermanito...
    -The “BIG STICK” method is from the long gone good auld times when one could freely use the “BIG STICK” on ones workers, wifes, kids, lovers, dogs & horses...

    - In these modern times of ours..., one must at least fake some respect for all of them or they just move on to greener pastures...

    Like the BRICS...
