    No, me being right is not better.

    Look at how this dipshit operates - everything is about exerting pressure for performative leverage. Under no circumstances does he just get the job done, let alone get the job done quickly or with precision.

    Build up will sit there accumulating massive costs and risk for a year, goading and destabilizing. Which, to be fair, THAT is a valid tactic. But only when you know that the people you’re goading can’t drop a single nuke on all your built up forces and wipe them out.
