It's in their national character to not be team players.

"Team player" is "JC"-speak for "I demand you cut your throat, for my benefit".

As luck would have it, I was reading an article in Air Force magazine yesterday, about the intervention in Libya. The other NATO members were on board with that. So was the UN.

United Nations Security Council Resolution 1970 was a measure adopted unanimously by the UN Security Council on 26 February 2011. It condemned the use of lethal force by the government of Muammar Gaddafi against protesters participating in the Libyan Civil War, and imposed a series of international sanctions in response.

The "justification" for the intervention was delusional blather: words to the effect "to prevent a massacre of civilians, at the hands of the Libyan army". The fact was the "civilians" were an armed force rebelling against the established Libyan government. As was the case in Syria, the west reacts with shock and horror, when a government it doesn't like tries to defend itself against an uprising. Of course, if the west likes the established government, then they are fine with the rebellion being crushed. Recall, there was an "Arab spring" uprising in Bahrain too. But the west likes the regime in Bahrain, so was perfectly fine with the Saudi army marching in and crushing the rebellion.

If Trump the Magnificent and Virile had been a politician, and understood consensus building, he could have made a case at the UN, using Hillary's playbook about Libya, citing whatever was the most inflated number for the "innocent people killed by the Iranian regime".

But no. Trump the Most Perfect is a "JC". He used the "JC" playbook: "shut up and do as you are told".

Hard telling what he will say tonight. Don't know what to make of it either, as so much of what he says is a mix of lies and delusion.
