Browsed a Hun, and saw they were sooking about Albo dodging Trump.

Maybe Albo’s hoping Trump will forget about us?
We’re already on the ‘base’, right?

Been hearing media pundits talking about world leaders not wanting to meet Trump. Your on a hiding to nothing as he just wants to act like top dog. Latest example Starmer in Scotland

I mean…I’m not keen for it.
The idea makes the back of my throat a little queasy, frankly.

I thought it was the other way around.
The Hun was betting that Trump would put higher tariffs on us today.

When Starmer took the bait, the camera did a close up on Trump’s smirk . He uses joint pressers to belittle other leaders or delegates to his lackeys or tame media to do the job.

Von der Leyen was smarter. She let him ramble on , then did her own presser.

Yeah, this. He doesn’t know what he’s talking about on any issue so you don’t achieve anything useful. If you disagree with him on anything he’ll go after your whole country out of spite, if you agree with him on anything he’ll only demand more. And no matter which way the talks go, he’ll announce afterwards that you licked his boots and agreed to some incredibly lopsided deal and then you’ll have to publicly deny that which’ll only ■■■■ him off and make him vindictive again.

Theres a reason that smart nobles did their best to be far away in the country when a mad Roman Emperor was on the throne. You’re best off not coming to their attention if at all possible. I’ve got my criticisms of how Albanese treats the relationship with America, but he’s handled this facet pretty well.
