    No. I was merely commenting on YOUR comment that the ambassador did noting to cause the relations to suffer. He did. You believe it was justified, but regardless it does cause the relations to suffer IF the UK takes him seriously.

How do you have a better relationship with someone you don't respect or believe is inept? Do you have a better or worse relationship with Mountain Man now that you know he is a rabid Trump supporter?
      Supporter, yes. Rabid, no.

        In Jim's world, rabid. That's Sparko's point.

            Hey now, drooling is not only a symptom of rabidity. Maybe I just I have over active saliva glands!

                My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism. James 2:1

                If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not  bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man’s religion is worthless James 1:26

                This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; James 1:19

                  The leak caused the incident, as would any leaks of the private comments of most world leaders or diplomats on some of the people they interface with.

                        No, the report caused the incident - had it been worded better there wouldn't have been much, if any, blow back.

                          On that we'll just have to disagree. Any honest assessment of Trump's competence on the world stage would have had the same effect.

                            Just so we're clear, an assessment that differs from your own is not inherently dishonest. Also, weren't you agreeing with Zara's 'relying on experts' argument? One of us has a Master's in Political Science and I'm pretty sure it isn't you.

                              • Whatever it was intended to be, it's public now and has caused a whole lot of offense. Had it been worded better, it wouldn't have caused nearly as much trouble. Nope, the report itself is the source of the offense.
