“And President Trump has checkmated him by uploading his private message to him on Truth Social.”
“Really, what did it say?”
“My friend, we are totally in line on Syria…”
“Syria that is being ruled by one sanctioned for brutally beheading his adversaries……”
“And then unsanctioned – that just goes to show the continuing relevance of the old proverb fortune helps the daring but repulses the timid…”
“But the Syrians are scattered all over the world, those who remain in Syria are in constant fear of…”
“Not relevant to the leaders, what else did Macron say?”
“He said we can do great things on Iran…that means France will support bombing Iran…”
“Vive la Israel, right?”
“Right or as the Americans say MAGA.”
“Anyway Macron then went on to say I do not understand what you are doing on Greenland, let us try to build great things. I can set up a G7 meeting after Davos in Paris on Thursday afternoon.

“Yes it would be the same as The Man Who Must Remain Nameless and Faceless inviting, oh I am not sure Khawaja Asif….”

“The Prime Minister…”

“I know –the man who hogs the airwaves – Deputy Prime Minister…”
“Don’t be facetious.”
