With Trump, flattery supposedly gets you everywhere.

Yeah, which is why their strategy regarding Ukraine has been a little
head-scratching.  I would have expected them to be pushing us to get
involved more.

Here's hoping the Conservatives win then.  I am wondering if some of his
antics are not attempts to sway elections in other countries in ways he
wants them to come out.  Greenland also just had an election.  The party
that appears to be on the way to the win is the party that wants full
independence from Denmark, but on an "eventual" basis.  Best as I can tell,
they are also against becoming a US state... they want to be independent of
us, too.
