        I guess "Pinker first" would also be a bad idea. Can I have all your assets to prove your moral superiority?

        Pretty sure it's about politicians doing their jobs, i.e looking after the nation they are elected to govern, rather than playing globalist.

        The point of a nation is to promote its national interests, IIRC. Otherwise it usually ends up promoting some other entity's interests.

        yeah, the leader of a country should look at the interests of the citizens. It's retarded that this isn't the default!
