“The European Union won’t take chicken from America. They won’t take lobsters from America. They hate our beef because our beef is beautiful and theirs is weak. It’s unbelievable” Lutnick told FoxNews

what is this new american trend of infantile statements?

It's hardly new. The United States have always been like that one popular kid in an elementary school. If you act the way he wants, he can be nice to you and your on his team. Take one step in a different direction and they'll start badmouthing you, preferably behind your back.
They've been doing this to Russia and China for decades. As long as they have the stage, they can create any narrative they want and the audience will most likely adopt the opinion and start saying the same things.
The thing about propaganda is that, if it fits in your frame or reference, you'll be more likely to accept it. If it doesn't fit, like when it is about you, suddenly you'll realize that this is something they have been doing about others all along and that it doesn't break any patterns, apart from the recognition patterns of the receiver.
- It is not about the behaviour, it is about the language. Back then even though they were bullies, they did at least use adult diplomatic language. It is about the brainrot of Trumps sycophants copying his bizarre childish way of talking.
It is simple sadly. An infant is running the country. They want to make sure he can understand what they're saying publicly without it having to go through a translator. Note the excessive use of the word beautiful for instance.
Most Americans are fuckbrains, this is just something we have to accept. At least for the time being.
It's really simple, the bootlickers realize that impressing Trump is the only way to move up in MAGA world, so 100% of their effort is put toward doing that which leads to many different embarrassing acts including him here trying to mimic his fetid babytalk.
They're dropping the facade now that trump has gained power. They've always been petulant, greedy little children who will burn anyone or anything for power.
New?

Food from the USA is not up to European standards. It's that simple.

Just look at how long it took to ban Red Dye #3. Banned almost completely in Europe in 1994, while in the US it's legal until 2027.

Just want to piggy back on the red dye thing. The dye was banned in January, and shortly after, in February, a canal in Argentina turned red, which people suspected was from a dye manufacturer dumping into the water way: https://vt.co/news/weird/concerns-raised-after-canal-water-mysteriously-turns-red-like-blood-overnight
I suspect the two events are related.
- That seems unlikely. Demand for these things tends to taper off. It's not like the products using this dye immediately had their formula changed when the law passed. Instead, production of the dye will slow down as those products get a new formula, and they'll continue to use old stock until it's depleted.
  Besides, the article points to other likely sources of pollution.
Don't forget high fructose corn syrup, which is still legal in the US, despite having a conspiracy theorist who hates it in charge of the Department of Health and who could get that ball rolling with a word.
- Corn subsidies effectively bankroll a number of (Solid Red) US states. That shit's big business, with big lobbyist payrolls, with big lawyers behind them.
- The corn lobby is nearly as strong as the oil lobby... it aint going nowhere.

Eww... We don't need chlorine infused chicken and chemical soaked eggs. No idea what crap they have in their mad cow beef and lobster. Ban it by law, put it into the constitution change all the national anthem to say EU citizens will be protected from US chemical infused meat and eggs. Write it into a huge stone facing US in multiple languages. Make T-shirts too and hats.

Don't american eggs need to be refrigerated and cannot be eaten raw or something ridiculous
- They are washed with harsh chemicals, leading to the destruction of the natural protective layer (that protective layer prevents germs like salmonella from entering the egg)
- It’s because they are washed in a different way than the rest of the world.
No idea what crap they have in their mad cow beef and lobster.
Neither does America: they fired the people who check this.

Weak unchlorinated meat, unbelievable!

Now you also know why he’s popular with his voters
It actually wasn't Drumpf that said this shit this time. Some asshole named Lutnick.
Edit: apparently he's the Secretary of Commerce
Why yes. I want my beef checks notes beautiful. And strong.

God damn it that's not how people are supposed to speak.

"...because our beef is beautiful and theirs is weak."

My brother in christ, what the fluffer nutter cyberfuck are you talking about?!?

Who believes this? It's such an obvious lie. It's just a signal to the troops that statements don't need contain logic, right?
- Who needs logic, this is a discussion about beautiful beef dammit!
Sam?

Your beef is corn fed and cows cant digest it, get fucked. Grass fed ftw.

But corn fed tastes better
- All that mistreatment no doubt, and the antibiotics, yum

Lutnick’s description of American beef as superior is a common perception and has some evidentiary basis.

“EU consumption of beef has been in decline for 20 years. This may be, at least in part, due to inconsistencies in eating quality, meaning that the customers cannot be sure of the quality they are purchasing,” says a 2022 academic article in Animal: The International Journal of Animal Biosciences.

So according to the NY Post, the apparent absence of complaints in the US is an argument why US beef is better?

EU consumption of beef has been in decline for 20 years. This may be, at least in part, due to inconsistencies in eating quality
In other words: They have no clue and are just guessing. That (parts of) the EU may be following an entirely different trend is completely unimaginable.
My personal anecdotal evidence: Basically everyone I know who eats less beef does so because of pricing, wanting to adopt a healthier/different diet or because they don't want to shut their eyes as much to what "meat production" means for a cow anymore. Then there's the group who just goes along with that because they either don't prepare meals themselves or so they're not the only one not eating at least vegetarian. Not a single one of them does it because they "cannot be sure of the quality they are purchasing".
Ofc my anecdotal evidence isn't saying anything about the entire EU either. I merely wanted to showcase how easy it would be to frame the entire thing completely differently.
- My view through the tainted window: fewer farmers, less government assistance, more droughts, higher expenses. Overall, not worth the trouble.
- Beef is expensive
It's utterly absurd, there is nothing wrong with the beef in Europe
NY post is owned by Murdoch.

We can’t sell corn to India. We can’t sell rice to Asia.

This part is hilariously stupid because there isn't a block of those exports. It's a block on genetically modified foods. These countries have a lot of common sense policies concerning the sale of GMOs because they do not want to get stuck in the monoculture death spiral that the US agricultural sector is stuck in.

Why in the world do we let these people sell their cars? 94% of cars in Japan are made in Japan.

This is another stupid one. The Japanese don't like idiotically massive cars. Which is 90% of what American carmakers sell.

I love how GMO foods pose one of the greatest dangers to our species' continued well-being and survival, but not in way because of the genetic modification, but because of the ability for corporations to patent life itself and control who gets to grow it or not.
Meanwhile, you ask most average grocery shoppers if they would eat GMO vegetables and they will shriek in horror like it's going to make them grow dicks out of their elbows.
I lived in Japan for several years and wholeheartedly second this. I had a later model Nissan Skyline that was roughly the size of a Camry and that thing was too big for the cities.

As an African with access to reasonable traditional cattle farming, I can say that American beef tastes like crap. Looks amazing, but tastes like crap.

It depends on where it comes from in the US. You're spot on when it comes to basically anything sold in a grocery store. But we have some great cattle that produces great beef. You have to go to high end butchers for it though. Or buy it directly from the ranchers and butcher it yourself.
- Can the butcher assure you that the animal hasn't been given an amount of chemicals that would be banned in the EU?
The best steak I ever had. I watched iit graze in pasture a couple hours before eating it.
- Really that was the best. You know you should hang meat for a couple days. Cows usually for a week some want 21 days. If you thought a freshly killed cow steak was great this well blow your mind.

Those evil Europeans like quality. But not American, only real quality.

American animal "farms" are a dirty and unhygienic mess, and the fact that people still eat their products in the US makes people elsewhere cringe in horror. I love to shock Americans with "Mettbrötchen", a crispy roll with raw, minced pork meat. Perfectly safe to eat here. But people who are used to washed.eggs and chlorinated chicken recoil in horror to something like that.

American animal "farms" are a dirty and unhygienic mess, and the fact that people still eat their products in the US makes people elsewhere cringe in horror.
If someone asked me to describe the animals rolling in and meat out of Tönnies Factories I would use the same words to describe it.
Our meat isn't that much better (still better than in the US, but the prepackaged stuff in the supermarket is still low quality), no reason to be smug here and riding the high horse
In the States, we're told that raw pork puts you in danger of trichinosis. Does your methodology somehow eliminate that threat?
- Obviously. I remember butchering a pig at a farm, and before the meat could be processed any further, the vet checked it for a number of issues, among them trichiosis.
German Farms are like that too. But ours have just a tad more regulations.
- The "tad" fills a few shelves of folders.

I had to look up Apeel, but I think it's a good thing actually:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apeel_Sciences
Apeel Sciences is an American food technology company based in Goleta, California. Its edible coating product Apeel or Edipeel can make avocados, citrus and other types of fruit last twice as long as usual by using a tasteless edible coating, and reduces food loss and waste as well as reliance on single-use plastic packaging.
Edipeel is allowed for use on the following fruits in the European Union, Norway, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom: avocados, citrus fruit, mangoes, papayas, melons, bananas, pineapples, and pomegranates.
On their website they seem to rightfully point out that E471 (apparently a combo of E422 and E570) is already approved for consumption in the EU, so it doesn't make sense that they're limited to foods where we don't eat the peel. If it's safe and gets the plastic off the cucumbers, I'm for it.
e: Does anyone actually have a source for palladium being used in Edipeel's manufacture? I can't find one. Most of what I'm getting in these searches is that the plants they use to make E471 can contain heavy metals they absorb from their environment, and that the levels are low enough to be considered safe by US regulations. (No clue whether the limit is reasonable.)
- The necessity of this substance is far from proven, and it uses a palladium as a catalyst which introduces potential heavy metal contamination. This is a venture capital-backed startup. We simply have stricter standards in the EU.
- How is it a good thing to spray shit on an apple? They last plenty long without that garbage.
- In the EU only stuff that is proven safe can be used on edibles. Since that is apparently not the case yet, it is limited to stuff that you don't eat the peel of
- It's been a while since I've seen a cucumber in plastic. The whole thing looks like a synthetic type of wax, waxing apples is definitely legal in the EU (also, a unwashed apple off the tree has a natural wax coat, and they continue to produce wax in storage) but I think it's only natural waxes. You could probably get a novel synthetic one approved but the sales aren't going to be worth the paperwork.
  Everything in the EU needs approval, it's not a "wait and see" type of situation, and E-numbers generally have approval for certain uses, it's not a blank cheque. It might be fine in this instance but making it a free-for-all would quickly dilute the standards. Also "quantum satis" ("whatever amount is sufficient to achieve the effect") would lose its meaning if you take the desired effect out of the E number.

America won't buy our corn and guns!

Why won't America buy our corn and guns?

Oh, because they make their own and they're fucking thousands of miles away.

what's the worst that can happen to chicken in a couple thousand miles from a country of origin with no regulations
- You don't want 10-day aged chicken?
  Or maybe you want 10-day aged chicken that has been processed in a way that the 10 days of aging doesn't change the chicken - instead of usual aging processes that enhance meats (well, red meats)
They do buy our guns - they go crazy for ČZ pistols (made in a little shithole country called Czech Republic)
- in my experience from a decade ago Czechia was a delightful place to visit and the people were very kind and helpful.
- In fairness they probably don't actually know that. They're obsessed with AKs for example but most Americans probably don't know where they're from.

As an American that has traveled to many places, why would Europe want any type of American food. I felt like most countries I’ve traveled to especially in central and South America and places like Italy the food is more farm to table and by far way more healthier. Have you ever seen Fanta from Europe compared to USA?

How is the fanta different?
- Most countries don't use high fructose corn syrup
- European Fanta lover here. Visited US, the HFCS based Fanta felt disgustang to me
- American Fanta is corn syrup and artificial orange flavor, Fanta in Europe is orange juice and cane sugar.
  Still a soda, but like, actually a food instead of an industrial byproduct.
- Look at a picture to start (my account is to new to upload a pic)
Argentinian beef is top tier. While we do have some great beef in the US, it's all from smaller ranchers that most people don't have access to, and it still doesn't compare to Argentina.
- Argentinian beef could use some seasoning though. Every time I've had Argentinian beef fare it was bland af, which sucks because it looks amazing

And they'd be right

"They hate our beef because our beef is beautiful and theirs is weak."

Logic's not so strong with this one, eh?

Sounds like Trump personally wrote the taking points in crayon.
- That's not true. He ate all the crayons before he wrote anything.

I like when they talk like toddlers, it's clear as day they are distracting the topic at hand, much like their IQ

but your beef isn't beautiful na na na....

Every American thing I've tasted has been absolutely vile compared to even the cheapest things in Europe. I really feel bad for US citizens who have lived their whole lives with shit like that.

It’s unbelievable how much better it is overseas compared to US.
- The wild thing is that we do have access to it here, there are small farms growing quality produce and heirloom varieties not available in Europe. But that's not what gets sold in supermarkets in population centers. The problem is in the middlemen and marketing, all unregulated for profit from crap.
Our food is garbage. It's all engineered to be fast growing, so it has no time to develop flavor and take up natural nutrients. The result is flavorless, empty food.
- Man, you'd think itd be cheap, with the quantity over quality game were running

From "they hate us for our freedom" to "they hate us for our beef".
And I believed the Bush era was rock bottom.

Remember "freedom fries?" Republicans are fucking idiots.
- I don't exclude the Dems from that statement.
  Whenever the Americans have their wars they all rally around the flag.
me too 😵‍💫

Has this man seen the state animals are in? Factory farming? What an idiot.

EU: "I don't want your beef. I hate your beef."
American Beef: sob
Lutnick: "Don't listen to them Beef! You're beautiful no matter what anybody says! You know what EU? I think your beef sucks! Your beef is WEAK!"

If it weren't all for all the beef I eat I probably wouldn't have any of the genetically engineered growth hormones that make me ME.

Definitely not because our beef is hormone filled

And antibiotics surely play no role either
- Antibiotics are allowed and, unfortunately, used plenty in the EU. Growth hormones on the other hand are banned. As far as I know, those are standard in the US, so farmers can't simply export surplus production.

So this must mean that in America the local markets will be flooded with suddenly affordable meat?

didn't think so.

I don't really eat red meat much anymore but if it starts getting cheaper I might have a steak every two weeks instead of every two months! Gimme cheap food bro. I'll pay for it.

Trumps words coming out of a sycophants mouth. How stupid do you have to be that trumps way of putting it is better than what you can come up with yourself.

Pffff haha Hahaha haha ha...

Oh wait, he's serious.

HAHA HAHAHAHA HAHA HAHA!!

America has the food standards of a third world country. That place literally allows cancer giving chemicals in their food simply because people aren't dying fast enough from them.

- If the US broke up into multiple countries many states would be poorer than really poor countries. I won't tell you which...
- If anything the US is now second world given the tenancy to bend the knee to Putin.
"What do you mean this chicken is rotting??"
pours bleach everywhere
"What did I tell you, see? Zero bacteria!"
Please keep their foodstuffs away... 🤢
Hey, common… my third world country has much higher standards!
- We need a new category unique to America. They can feel exceptional in their mediocrity.

Gee, it's almost like he's intentionally being an asshole to achieve a specific reaction he wants

The thing that gets me about the Trump Admin is how all his spokesgremlins sound like they stepped off a Middle School playground. We've gone from "Newspapers are written at a 6th grade reading level" to "Public policy is implemented by 6th graders who just discovered what a bully is".
- Spokesgremlins... I like that!
- spokesgremlins, spokesgoblins, spokesorcs, spokesgelitaniouscubes
Honestly asking, what reaction do you think he is looking for?
I can understand (and believe) these assholes are all evil and greedy at a cartoon villain level, but I simply cannot understand what is the goal here. All I see is stupidity running rampant
- Absolute isolationism with nationalistic delusions of grandeur
  Basically, North Korea
- im convinced this guy has actual brain damage.

I thought this was a joke until I read Lutnick's name

"they hate it because its beautiful" makes absolutely no fucking sense. these people need to be laughed at to their face. (among other things)

I've eaten beef all over the world. US beef is nothing special.

It's special in that it's full with antibiotics and growth hormones.

Even as a Canadian I avoid American meat as much as possible when buying groceries.

As an American, I avoid US beef as well. Hope our meat industry crashes, tbh. It's crazy expensive and yet it's disappointing.

Keep your poison

Beautiful beef from cows that are skinned alive. Yes very beautiful. https://archive.is/2025.04.12-224648/https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/12/opinion/animal-slaughterhouse-meat.html

I worked at a slaughterhouse for about 6 months, in Canada so obviously different. But the only time I saw a cow not unconscious while being drained was when the Orthodox Jews or Muslims stopped by. I didn't watch those twice.
My father insisted I work at one, like he worked at one when he was young. He used a .22, I used a captive bolt gun. Done correctly, the cow should be unconscious. But that industry attracts a certain type of people, so without the government keeping a close eye on the industry I believe the events of that article will happen more.
- Yep, kosher and halal are pretty f-ing inhumane.
- Fuck, I'm sorry that's a part of your growing-up.
  Life-for-food is a thing. I know farms, I've raised sheep, I've sent them away.
  I hate the fact it's so industrialised. I'm glad I never had to work in a slaughterhouse. Having the vet put an animal down was bad enough.

I don't mind the statement behind the post, but was there really no other medium for the post than the Trumpist NYPost? This is the same media that supposedly wants to ask 10 questions about the tariffs in an article to defend them, and then asks questions like should Trump keep 12 million illegal refugees in the country like Biden?

What does this question have to do with legitimising the tariffs? No idea, ask the brainwashed journalists at the NYPost.

You know, that's exactly what I've said, every single time I've eaten beef, anywhere in Europe..."What weak beef! I bet that cow couldn't have done more than 20 push-ups. I can actually taste that a 2-hour run would have taken that cow the better part of an hour."

🙄

I kinda like that he is doing this because while this won't reach a large number of MAGAts, at least a few will pause and realize, "Wait, other countries have higher standards for their citizens than the food that myself and my family eat daily? Is that.. a good or a bad thing?"

And some small number will learn something they would've never been exposed to if the orange-moron didn't say it.

I don't imagine it will reach many of them, they wouldn't be MAGAts if they thought about things very deeply after all, but some of them will get it.

Thank you Mr. President for starting this awareness campaign (in the stupidest way possible).

That is an abstract thought. Something tells me a Trump voter really struggles with abstract thought.
they aren't that willing to think about it,
they will just think(be told) that Europe hates freedom and therefore American meat/poultry
at least a few will pause and realize, “Wait, other countries have higher standards...”
Nice thought, but too generous. If you're not England, France, or maybe Germany, then we consider you a third world country. (Incorrectly!)
If anything, this will piss them off more: "How dare these third world countries reject the world's best food?!"

American is the worst food in the whole world. Its better to go hungry than partaking in the excesses of highly processed american diet. Go to any supermarket and check the ingredients of american food and you will find stuff like malto dextrose, inverse sugar, dyglycerides, corn starch and high fructose syrup. All of these are rubbish ingredients which pollutes your body and makes you addicted. Stay away from american food for your own health. Buy EU/Canada/India/China/SEA etc but do not touch american products.

Canada isn't necessarily great either, and European grocery stores are full of "foods" containing the same cursed ingredients. There's a big difference in volume of crap though, and alternatives are much more accessible than they are in the US.
- Made in Canada stuff are kind of better. Especially the Quebec ones. Agreed on the rest.
Maltodextrin
Very common in EU processed foods. We produce it ourselves when breaking down starches in the stomach.
Inverted sugar syrup
Is what you get when you take sugar, any acid, add gentle heat, and wait a while, though the industry uses enzymes instead of acid (it's just easier). Splits up the sucrose into equal parts glucose and fructose which would happen in the stomach, anyway. Equivalent to sugar nutrition-wise, but doesn't crystallise. In the days of ole, sugar bakers would produce it from sugar and cream of tartar (i.e. acid from grapes). Not to be confused with high-fructose corn syrup which is fructose-heavy and thus loads up your liver more than ordinary sugar.
Mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids
Are part of our fat metabolism, and get produced during ordinary food preparation. Used as emulsifiers.
corn starch
Is... corn starch? Corn is a quite starchy plant. Take a kernel, remove the yellow shell, grind up the rest. Corn starch is to corn flour what white flour is to whole-grain flour.
Not terribly common over here you usually see potato starch but it's basically the same in function and nutrition.
high fructose syrup
Yeah don't. We're not built to sustain high-fructose diets. In nature only fruit have that kind of nutritional makeup and they're only available during part of the year and precisely at the point where you want to increase your fat storages because it's summer and you're eating for winter. All fructose goes directly to fat storage, we can't use it directly.
Don't get me wrong I'm highly critical of processed foods but your evil list is quite harmless, it's within the range of what you can produce in your own kitchen. Stuff legal in the US but not here is stuff like bromated vegetable oil.
- I am basing my understanding on the works of Chris Van Tulekken and he had mentioned these to be particularly damaging in the short term as well as long term. Happy to change my opinion if you can give sources on claims that all of this is natural and there is no harm to our body at all by consuming these.

I've never seen belittling people get them to change their minds, but I have seen conservative attempt it hundreds of times.

Spoiler: I see the left doing it all the time as well. Shit, I see vegans trying it too.
It never works.
- I belittle conservatives for my own enjoyment, and to laugh at them with my peers. I gave up on changing minds when I gave up on changing my dads, and that was 15 years ago at least (was a gradual decline, not sure when I actually gave up).

Article is from NY Post which is basically Goebbels Press

What's unbelievable is that a grown man, forget someone in the Presidential line of succession, talks like this.

They hate our beef because our beef is beautiful and theirs is weak.
Which wave of feminism is this /s

I try my best to buy as locally as possible.

It doesn't matter how beautiful that beef is, I won't let that sweet sexy attractive beef blind me from buying local when possible.

And then they say at the end, "there is some evidentiary basis" for that idiot's statement... our food is terrible and that's why nobody else wants it. Many of us don't even want it. But since this is the "land of the free", we have basically no choice. I hate this place so much

The bigliest beef ever. Tears in its eyes.

Article is 10 days old, which in Trump tariff terms is like a year. Just noting for anyone who thinks this is relevant to the current situation.

European beef is very sophisticated.

The cows go "Meaux"

"Evidentiary basis" ≠ "consumption declines", greaselords.

It's just become a lot more expensive than it used to be, and the environmentalist/health aspects of it might play a small part in this, too.

I'm pretty certain that the main imports of beef to EU is from South America.

Right after I read this, I went and made out with the meat products in our kitchen. It was pretty hot. EU doesn't get to bang our gorgeous beef and they're jelly.

Beef is a lot more expensive in Europe in my experience, but is also of a much higher quality. You can get an equivalent quality in the US but you’ll have to go to a specialty butcher or a farmers market and it will be more expensive than an equivalent cut in Europe.

And frankly the cheap stuff in the US is still too expensive for me to make it a regular part of my diet. So, if I’m going to have it, it’ll be a treat, and I may as well buy the better stuff in that case.

Dr Strangelove type quote.

Or maybe because they have standards and we don't

I’m based in the US and I refuse to buy most of the chicken on sale either. Heritage chicken only please

All right, cool. But how is this statement newsworthy?

USAians are probably outraged? I’m amused.

this guy is an utter dipshit, he should be impeached, if that's even possible lmao.

He was, twice, wore it like a badge of honour, and all the MAGAts voted for him again.
There was a time when presidents had decency and would quit rather than be impeached. Normal rules don't apply to the orange twat.
- Lutnick is not Trump, he works for him and has never been impeached.
- There's also the fact that despite the economic recovery post-pandemic, every-day Joes didn't see the recovery in their paycheck - and at the same time, inflation (price gouging, really) was rampant. The salt of the earth tends to vote by their wallet, and wallets were feeling the pinch at election time.
  That, plus Democrats' well-known propensity for utter failure at messaging, practically guaranteed a Trump victory.

Word for word, the same thing the president said.

Trumps mouthpiece

As someone who used to visit fairly regularly, yeah it sucks.

I heard that Americans prefer Irish beef.

Russia refusing to import our bleached chicken during Obama was a big falling out point with them. And they blocked the US adoption industry from trafficking Russian kids.

Big Ag has a lot of power here. They will be petty and make this hurt for the EU.

We didn't stop buying your chicken now, we weren't buying them in the first place.
- I know.
Big Ag, ~~sponsored~~ subsidised by the US government.
Take a hike. The US has lost all its trust and trading power with trump's tariff games.
Things tariffed, things exempt, not exempt but not tariffed, U-turn on tariffs.
The uncertainty isn't bringing manufacturing back to the US. Especially if the US is tariffing raw materiels.
And it isn't going to force the EU to buy worse products than they can grow locally.
I buy milk from a farm that's 70 miles away. It's a bit more expensive, but holy hell does it taste better than the (already fairly decent) supermarket milk.
I cannot imagine a world where I have to refrigerate eggs. Sitting in the fridge, soaking up the random flavours of leftovers. That's weird as fuck, man.
"Big Ag" has power in the US. The US has pissed away their power failing to strong arm dozens of countries. And they've deported/interned (or are working on departing and interning) their labour farm workforce.
Eggs are expensive in the US? Have fun with the next 6 months.
- That’s some very optimistic and tough talk, that seems to ignore the US military power and their willingness to use it for petty retaliation.
