My spouse is surprised by my newfound interest in geopolitics but it's another area where I can just be absolutely mystified by the choices made by the Trump administration. I just can't seem to avoid...

I can't help it.

I can't help wondering if they even UNDERSTAND what it looks like to send JD "yes, Daddy" Vance to "negotiate" without *any* authority to make *any* decisions whatsoever.

Was it the only thing they could think of to do, was it a distraction/buying time, or did they *actually* think it would work out for them? And if they did think that...WHY did they think that?

That's what boggles my mind about these people sometimes: why did they think x was a good idea when they did it?

When JD Vance walked into those talks, did he expect it to go well for him? Or did he know when he got there that he was showing up to just flop around like a dying fish for a bit?
