Just "Nuke the Bastards!"

President Teddy Roosevelt once said, "Speak softly but carry a big stick."

As in, let the perceived willingness of your intent to use your power instill fear in your enemies.  I believe Donald J. Trump does exactly that.

On purpose.

But I, The Chuckmeister, your Scribe Without Portfolio, would prefer we ratchet up that old admonition a tad.  I suggest we just do away with those foolish enough to cross us.  We warn them, and maybe even warn them a second time, and then we unleash Holy Hell!

Now that we have a President who actually comes to work (the last one spent more than 45% of his term at the beach), and also seems willing to flex 'Murica's muscle, I suggest we just bypass all the simple and easy threats and go straight to the Big Boomers!  

I mean, we have them, why not use them?

Teddy Roosevelt would be pleased.  Trump has a bunch of Big Sticks to carry.  And to use.  And it's time to stop pussyfooting around and show some backbone!  No getting pushed around anymore!    

If anyone pisses us off, let's just...

                    Nuke the Bastards!

If Kim Jung the Il won't play nice and stop rattling his sabres, we just Nuke the Bastards!

If Putin won't come to terms and stop the mass killings in his war on Ukraine, we just Nuke the Bastards!

Should China's Xi (Whiz?) fail to stop threatening the Republic of South Korea, upon whom we rely for 90% of our microchips, we just Nuke the Bastards!

If Meheeeeko won't get control of those nasty cartels, and stop them from bum-rushing our Border with legions of illegal aliens, we should just Nuke the Bastards!

Jimmuh Carter gave the Canal to Panama for the princely sum of $1.00.  And then leased it out to China.  If they won't give it back, we just Nuke the Bastards! 

And if the Danes won't agree to sell us Greenland, at a price we feel is reasonable ($1.00?), we just Nuke the Bastards!

I'm considered somewhat of an expert on early American Indians.  Or, as some of our more woke like to say, "Indigeneous Personages."  And when their elders start babbling incoherently with old age, like somebody we all know, the Indians believed they were infused with a dose of the Great Spirit.  Mumbling on behalf of their god (small "g"), they were.  In short, they were addled, or even crazy.  But other Indians feared them.  Because they didn't know what they'd do next.  

Funny how that goes...  

Everyone fears POTUS Trump.  Because they don't know what he'll do next.  All the other countries' leaders fear him as well.  And for the same reason.  He keeps them off balance.  And he does so on purpose.  Can you say, "Art of the Deal?"  They actually believe he might pull the trigger.  They think he just might resort to nukes.  And it scares the sh*t out of them.  

Because D. J. Trump's adversaries think he might use nukes, he'll never have to.  Being willing to Nuke the Bastards, means you'll never need to.  The world is filled with scary people.  People who'll kill you as soon as look at you.  And no amount of Liberal wishing will make them nice neighbors.  LBJ tried that.  Clinton tried that.  Obama tried that.  O'Biden tried that.  It hasn't worked.  We have to make them know that a sh*tstorm of badness awaits them if they don't play nice.  

Which leads me to close with an old saying from the famous Chinese general Sun Tzu, in his book "The Art of War," that now pops to mind: 

"If you can't make them love you, at least make them fear you."
