Every time this man takes a plane, for the rest of his life, he will have to worry that it might develop mechanical trouble and have to land in a country that recognizes the International Criminal Court.
Good.
Good.

I’d like to note that my family and I were homeless over the summer of 1978. We had lost our farm so we put everything we had in a schoolbus and drove it to Athabasca, Alberta. My dad had a vague notion that he might be able to find work in the oil patch. (1)

Why would any nation rush to “do trade deals” with the USA when the word of its leader, and his signature on treaties and contracts, means absolutely nothing. See: USMCA.
