The physical, not social kind. "We'll catch you when you fall... this is not a metaphor."

The US is in this specific conflict to make their cut of the warbucks and maintain diplomatic ties, not to provide critical aid and support. That and provide a disincentive for anyone else to step in or protest.

I feel bad for the one he just keeps dunking on.

It is uninspiring and I much preferred my job before I was promoted a couple of years ago, which involved working directly with development teams and not strategic planning.

My projects are now long standing and tedious, and I'm not getting much recognition beyond my manager telling me how fantastic I am, whilst giving me unremarkable appraisal scores. He told me that I didn't get a chance to "shine" because I was doing so much work he put on my plate... thanks boss, useful commentary.
