Idle hands are the Devil's workshop

I am watching the circus as the US spends hundreds of millions of dollars to move a naval task force (after spending a massive amount on munitions a few months ago) to encourage Iran to reaccept a nuclear deal similar to the one our administration ripped up a few years back.

It sort of makes the same sense as denying global climate change and then trying to take Greenland because its ice cap is melting and exposing its mineral wealth.

Give Spankee a tiny pick and tell him whatever he *personally* digs out and delivers to the US--is OURS. Everything else belongs to Greenland/Denmark.

He already has a tiny prick. Will that do?

The pick would be more effective obtaining mini-minerals out of the ground.

Jeff,

We are beyond a fork in the road.

We could have raised taxes and invested heavily in US industry.

We decided to putz around with a true believer, "Anyone who does not make money in bankrupcy is an idiot".

Our road ahead gets narrow until it collapses.
