  Call us a “puppet state” if you will, but we’re not as far up Trump’s ass as a lot of other allies.

  The status of puppet state has nothing to do with whether a country’s leader opts to jerk off a clown in public, its about being willing to sacrifice your own economy for our benefit, and extends well beyond Trump.

  Also: Supporting us in every war and hostile action against countries whose subjugation doesn’t even benefit your own capitalists.
