If someone appears to be repeatedly personal, lean towards patience as they might not mean offense. If you are sure, however, then do not deepen the problem by being negative; instead, simply place them on ignore by clicking the unhappy yellow face to the right of their name.

I just wanted to know if a country has ever been so pathetic as America to threaten a historical ally with military action to annex their overseas territory, and then had the gall to ask them to help with a domestic egg shortage.

In my life, I'm not sure of a more pathetic action, but I'm open to suggestions.

The next closest recent example I could think of was the second Iraq war, and the "Coalition of the Willing". And guess who supported the US us in that debacle? If you guessed Denmark, you were correct. If you guessed Panama, who we have also threatened with invasion, you are correct. Ukraine? Also correct.

I wish it need not have happened in my time.
