« Donald Trump, Benjamin Netanyahu and Vladimir Putin are drastically different men, but they do have one important thing in common: Each thinks he is the smartest person in any room he enters. Alas, though, because they have all done the dumbest thing you can do as a leader — surround yourself with sycophants — they have all blundered into dead-end wars from which they can extricate themselves today only by eating a banquet of crow.
Watch out. There is nothing more dangerous than a reckless leader faced with a plate of crow: Sometimes his instinct is to double down on a losing strategy instead. »
— Columnist Thomas L. Friedman at the New York Times.
It's often the people who regard themselves as the most clever who are actually the most foolish.
Keeping bad wars going despite being counterproductive is idiocy rather than genius.
All three of these smug Bozos are good at just one thing – manipulation. Hopefully they will all end up at The Hague. History will be unkind to them as well as to the stooges who keep them in power.
