Friday

was in his dictator's playbook. He tried harassing and needling other countries, but that didn't work, so he created a faux enemy in the Caribbean. Apparently he thought a military conflict would solidify his power while also satisfying his blood lust. So he sets everything in motion and takes off to Asia.

I think he's breaking records for destroying an established democracy.
