Yeah, by and large they suck at follow through, but jeesh...even the law of averages has to kick in at some point!

Yip. Allies of the nation are the regime's enemies, and vice-versa. Bowing to dictators and giving the middle finger to traditional alliances. The damage this malevolent azzhole is doing to the country is incalculable.
"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

- Thomas Jefferson

 I would wear that as a badge of honor. My father would never let me associate with people like these as a young man.He words are still in my head,"don't shame yourself by being seen with trash".

To be fair, the Japanese asked for the Fed's intervention.
