sorry but "it doesn't matter that the president-elect is threatening to annex sovereign territory by force, he can't/won't actually do it" does not make you sound worldly and clever, it makes you sound like a self-importantly cynical dipshit

to be clear "it doesn't matter" is carrying a lot of weight here, knowing where the hurdles are to what he's talking about is important, and so is the mere fact that the president-elect is saying these things at all
by saying it he's basically telling china go take taiwan, we're ok with that kind of thing. he's telling russia go occupy ukraine, that's what we would do. the message in itself is significant whether or not he goes through with any of it.
“Self importantly cynical dipshits” is a hall of fame description for me. Gonna keep that in the holster to get through this stupid era. Every “serious” person who coddles the final dismantling of the New Deal and the state fits the description. Either my brain is melting, or everyone else’s is
And why are we to think that he won't actually do it? He has been shown that there are no susbtantial, real-world consequences to his actions. So why wouldn't he?
