  1. "This means...", and, "the question is...", indicates pure speculation on the way. These pundits try to frame information to support a certain, I'd say outdated, cold war styled worldview: world leaders are delicate personalities which must be coddled as a political expedient; otherwise, an insulted leader with nukes will simply fire them off out of anger, causing WWIII. Idiots!

  2. I agree with your analysis, Mogz. However, I still think it's possible that this aggravated deviciveness is an illusion of high profile. IOW, it only seems that this situation is pervasive, when actually that pervasiveness is an illusion fostered by the opinion-makers (whomever they think they may be). We're being very aggressively and binarily propagandized to maintain a powerful polarization of opinion, an emotional stake. Without a strong emotional component, discourse can rise to the level of intelligent, measured, balanced, logical. Unfortunately, for a lot of people this would be just plain boring; they'd rather be excited than sane.

  3. "Canada won't be pushed around." Since when?! The boy-king is not convincing--he was almost shaking in his boots as he made this contentious statement, like he's thinking: please, don't call my bluff!
