And what would you have done after you were lead to believe a deal was going to be signed? Hindsight is 20/20, so whatever you say doesn't mean much until you get thrown into a fiery situation like that.Strength and confidence do not raise voices and wag fingers. What raises voices and wags fingers is weakness and vulnerability. Think of the people you know who, when there's a huge pile of chips in the centre of the table, lose their shit like Trump and Vance lost their shit. If a foreign head of state receives treatment like that on the home turf of the United States of America, think now of what an invitation to the oval office means to any other foreign head of state. This is what damage looks like, diplomatic damage on an enormous scale.
So I revise your statement as follows: They showed stunning weakness in a situation that needs strong people.
You may perceive weakness, but weakness is getting your ass kicked in a never ending war IMHO.
