I mean sure, but I feel that's basically all both Trump admins have been doing.

restrained action sequences, and narrative density that detract from expected pulse-pounding excitement ... The Amateur’s slow-burning approach may not satisfy those seeking outright thrills or gripping emotional stakes.
Honestly, this all sounds like a plus to me. Gonna give it a try.
"The situation must fundamentally improve for the people in the Gaza Strip. The whole world is watching, and this threatens to put Israel in an increasingly difficult position," he said.
"We urgently need a ceasefire and an agreement on the release of the hostages," he said. The international situation has escalated to the point where Israel is, unfortunately, finding itself increasingly isolated on the global stage.
So... we need to save Gaza and Palestinians not for their own sake but to help Israel out of a difficult position? What a cynical and fucked-up way of thinking. I think I understand why he and increasing numbers of esp. German politicians bend themselves into pretzels over this: trying to appease public opinion while still supporting the industrial-military complex and the state of Israel, while trying not to appear pro-genocide. Worms.
The other person pulled you into defending yourself against a ridiculous claim.
If that's the best they have to offer...
I have tons of respect for these guys, imo they were the closest we ever got to worthy heirs of Monty Python. But over the years they did too much shitty stuff, too.
I see nothing in that post that isn't business as usual - except the fact that Medvedev and Trump, two man babies, apparently got into a fight.
Submarines are always stationed in "appropriate positions". This is just deflecting from other issues, you know...
That said I'm not underestimating the danger the Trump admin poses for the world, generally.
lol the insults.
IMHO what Trump writes about is just business as usual. Standard posturing (both literally and figuratively) that is happening anyhow all the time on all sides. Anyhow, all it says is "appropriate positions", so I counter: shouldn't military submarines always be in "appropriate positions"?
Normally you wouldn't ~~tweet~~ ~~truth~~ lie about something like that at all. My guess is one of his PR people thought a little fearmongering might distract from other issues...
And way too coherent, grammatically correct, generally making sense.
It's always so obvious what he wrote himself and what some PR person wrote for him.
there should be an “on” in place of “to” there?
No.
Is it correct grammar?
Yes.
is this some weird quirk of the second language experience
Probably connected to how your native language would construct a similar sentence.
Honestly this is just standard posturing, no threat. Not revealing exact positions either. Putin probably does this sort of shit daily (not on social media though).
Anything to distract from more pressing issues as you said.
And he clearly did not write this one himself.
Taunting North Korea's leader in 2017 by calling him "Rocket boy"*, that was a different matter: for a moment we all held our breath. Ultimately nothing happened, he even stumbled into probably his one and only diplomatic win, but still: that was inflammatory.
* (and any number of similar tweets since then; that was just the first one while in office)
But what about Chomsky and The Omnivore's Dilemma.
