@gmbutts Proper #AltText … seriously, if all you can type is "May be an image of newspaper, magazine and text" then don't bother and let us fill it in for you. (This is by far my biggest pet peeve about alt text, is useless alt text. End #rant.)

Financial Times
Let me get all of this straight in my head. They want their allies to join in an ill-thought-out war of choice with unclear aims and an uncertain chance of success for any of the myriad aims stated so far. They want everyone else to just absorb any of the externalities[sic] like influxes of refugees, disruptions to shipping, higher oil and commodity prices and maybe even some incoming missiles. And _then_ they also want to tariff everyone at 15%.

I'm not sure they can keep pushing at everyone all at once indefinitely. There seems to be an inability here not just to anticipate second and third order effects, but even just to model a response from any other party, much less _every_ other party.
