#ThisIsAmerica where manly men (and some selected women) go to war because it makes men out of boys or other.

A large missile wearing a long red tie sits at a negotiation table across from two Iranian figures, including a religious leader. The tie stretches across the table toward them. A small plaque reads “PEACE TALKS.” The missile says, “Let’s talk.” The Iranian figures appear tense and wary.
Missiles launched.
Talks take on a new shape.

#GunboatDiplomacy "is the pursuit of foreign policy objectives with the aid of conspicuous displays of naval power, implying or constituting a direct threat of warfare should terms not be agreeable to the superior force."

A lot of what the #AmericanEmpire does around the world in terms of #imperialism, #GunboatDiplomacy, and other interventions were tried out in PR. (e)
Wikipedia definition of 'Gunboat Diplomacy'.
"Gunboat Diplomacy" is a phrase that I remember from lessons about 19th century history.
I'm surprised that journalists don't seem to be using the term in reference to "The Donald"s latest exploits.

As a perfect example for the world to see after the speech Carney gave in Davos to the WEF, the #USpresident gives the world an example of #gunboatdiplomacy and #coercivehegemony.

5. To remove the US as a global partner and transform us into a regional power, dominating everything in our hemisphere with military force. #GunboatDiplomacy
Business translator:
"Trump needs to give us government money that we can use to help him steal the Venezuelan oil."
Republican politicians and their media shills would call this socialism if it were government financial help for poor Americans.
