It didn't go so well for the aggressor. If you are a big country with a
lot of people and a mighty army you can push your neighbours around for
a limited amount of time before they rise up unite against you.
And the neighbors' friends, too. Although I suppose Canada and
Australia are family, rather than just friends.
Wikipedia has a nice list.

Trump's creating many enemies for the US. Those enemies should
remember that they hate the US under Trump, not the US before or after
Trump (unless that Vance punk takes over).

She's always telling people they're not allowed to talk about
politics, telling people who they're not allowed to talk to and
telling everybody that the person she's constantly bitching about is
in her killfile and that they should killfile them too. I don't
understand how you're able to not see that.
I've said it in the past, when the topics go off into the twilight
zone I just pass over those conversations. They generally turn into name-calling pissing contests. If she gripes about the political posts
I don't see them as I don't read them. See how easy it is to pass over topics that don't interest you?
Maybe I've missed her bitching about her killfile as perhaps those posts
are in those long-winded pissing contests. Again, see how easy it is to
pass over annoying posts?

Trump has a lot of guts against a weak opponent like Venezuela.
But
confronted with Putin or Xi Ping, he becomes a cowardly little
schoolboy.

What Bruce is objecting to is my occasional posts about using killfiles

Nor is it problematic.When someone is working full time, there's over 40 hours less free
time. That justifies some shortcuts, though nothing justifies canned
menudo. She drives past this place on the way to anywhere. https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/tienda-mexicana-la-moreliana-saint-helena-island?select=I3cany4vk7Itc6XBk0hTtA
When I was still working, I bought bagged egg noodles. I bought
canned soup. I still buy the occasional frozen pizza, but back then,
frozen was the norm. I still keep canned refried beans around for a
last minute decision, but they aren't as good as made from dried, so
I don't use them often. I bought a lot of Sausage McMuffins on my way
to work. A couple of weeks ago I decided, no more frozen spinach.
It's not that much extra effort to use fresh. I had a semi-annual
checkup Tuesday, and I told my doctor that if it weren't for the
oxalic acid, that I might eat spinach every day. She replied that you
don't want kidney stones.
Boil fresh spinach in plenty of water. Drain well. Push almost all of
the water out. Turn out onto a cutting board to chop. Put heavy cream
and a pinch of sodium citrate into a pot. Re-add spinach, heat to
hot, while thoroughly mixing spinach and cream. Add shredded cheese.
I usually use Monterey Jack, but often add a second cheese as well.
Keep stirring and stirring over heat until a creamy texture is
achieved. Someone once asked me what you dip into it. I replied, "A
fork."
