I have to say, this was a very pleasant read. I expected it to be a thinly vield ad for some new business, but it was actually very insightful. Seems to me like the author's failure taught them a valuable lesson about what they actuall

Agreed. Sadly, for the sake of the world, we need to let KJU go unpunished. Let him live out his days in a cushy mansion in China so that he doesn't start lobbing nukes everywhere. I believe that to be the sanest course of action.
