This is called Democrat diplomacy. Xi is a dictator. Putin is a dictator. It's not a matter of whether they are or not, but a matter of insulting a counter-party in the very large venue of geopolitics. Democrats are becoming idiots. Heck, even MAGA is domestic terrorism to them.

True. A Democrat assumes that our values are universal.

With respect, I make a small edit. A Democrat assumes that THEIR values are universal.

When we lived in Germany, In constantly heard and read about EU values. Always asserted; never defined.
