    Yeah. At this stage, after this much back and forth, this is a serious statement. It wasn’t just a one off dementia thing. This statement was the thrust of what he was saying so this is what he wanted to say. He’s not campaigning anymore, or justifying policy anymore. It was a direct extortion attempt on an entire country by the man in charge of the world’s most powerful military.
