Things are hard when you don’t know what you’re doing.

As if Xi is the hard one to make a deal with when the other side is a fucking greedy idiot.

No shit. He’s stringing you along, just like Putin is. He knows there’s no point in making a deal so he’s waiting for you to notice the next shiny thing.

Oh, he does not just fall over as you liked him to? Guess what, you little Apprentice bully: You are playing with the big boys now. And you are sooo outclassed.

“You don’t have the cards!” or the intelligence to use them for that matter.
