  1. Tbh, this comes across as something of a hit piece against Ardern. Still, if it counters some of the excessive gushing the foreign media seem to have for her, I can sorta get behind it. They mostly tend to focus on what she represents than what she's actually done anyway, so this is a welcome change of tack.

  2.  TheEnd  If by irrelevant you mean rich nations that don't spend over $700 billion on a military that goes around intervening in countries left, right and center, then yeah I suppose they're 'irrelevant'. Funnily enough, I like them more that way.

  3.  TheEnd  Only by a certain warped set of priorities. Do you have said warped priorities?

  4.  TheEnd  Oh wait, "VASSALS of the USA"? Yes, it appears you do have said warped priorities. Good to know. Btw, some of your "vassals" (Germany, Turkey, etc.) aren't staying in line. It appears your overlordship is proving ineffective, as they seem to be forging their own foreign policies. Might want to get on that, sire. Make them obey you ... if you can.

  5. You could say that about any politician, for any aspect of what they do. Strong economy? Thank their economic advisors. Military success? Thank the generals. And so on. Fact of the matter is they still need to take that advice (and it's almost never uniform) and not just decide to follow it (and which parts?), but also push it through any political or administrative barriers it might face. If we credit politicians (and this doesn't exclude crediting the experts) for other things, the same reasoning should hold for public health.
