At least JWB asked difficult questions. Chula is just a US government stooge.

Q: Do you like apples or oranges?
A: What's the point, they're both associated with rot.
Q: That wasn't the question.
A: I won't bring myself down to choosing between which ultimate rot is better.
Q: You could have simply said cucumbers.
A: Now we're talking. Ding Dong. I miss OH!

A more appropriate analogy

Batlord: The fruit industry is monopolized and people have no problem with that because it means that they get fruit for cheaper.
Chula: Do you like apples or oranges?
Batlord: What's the point, they're both associated with corporatization.
Chula: That wasn't the question.
Batlord: I won't bring myself down to choosing between your irrelevant false dichotomy.
Chula: You could have simply said a random non-sequitur.
Batlord: Ok boomer.

One question. If all US ambassadors serve at the president's pleasure, why didn't Trump just recall Yovanovitch and say that due to a policy change she was being re-assigned.

Instead him and his key-stone cops decide to smear her with stupid conspiracy theory claims. And to do it with threats attached.

Are they simply just that stupid?

I mean what is your alternative that I should support? I don't support American imperialism but I also don't support crazy Montana militias. Or North Korea. Or ISIS. What are my options to support?

They're Americans, so you've got a good chance of that being a yes.

Not asking for any endorsements from you about anything. Just asked where you'd rather live in 2020.

If I had dual citizenship you'd be telling me to love America or go back where I came from.

Oh and Denmark. Denmark sounds nice.

STFU - you know me better.

Denmark wasn't a choice but if we're talking dreams gigs?

Sardinia!

#2 would be the Azores.
