Maybe it's just me. But maybe it would be nice if world leaders were more careful and thoughtful about what they say? Less bluster. Less inapproprate humor about starting bombing even if you think your mic is turned off. Not to pick on certain political parties. Just a general observation that could apply to all politicians of any party. Most could probably agree that this would be a good thing.
