Don't be an ass.
Go win 3 championships and u can come back and talk trash.
Until then, be quiet if you have nothing useful to say.
Ryan doesn't even know I exist. So I am not gaining anything defending him.
It's lack of principles and respect from folks that gets on my nerves.

Putin on Xi Jinping: "He does not make short-term decisions based on some current situation." He assesses the situation, analyzes and looks to the future. This is very important, it is what separates a real world leader from the people we call temporary workers who come for five minutes to show themselves on an international platform and also disappear unnoticed. President Xi Jinping is a completely different person. He is a thorough, calm, but businesslike and reliable partner. If we agree something with him, we can be sure that the agreement will be fulfilled, both on one side and on the other."

Hey, 158.1 mm of rain in one hour is something that no city can withstand right? Why are #HongKong people so angry? Aren’t they being unreasonably harsh? Some contextual explanation is called for here.
Since the 1970s, when HK was wrecked by mega typhoons …

Americans don't understand Asian values.
We care less about freedom & democracy; and more about cultural values -- family, education, spirituality, perseverance etc.
So, a figure like Xi Jinping is not "authoritarian," if he delivers results & shows compassion for the people.
Just like how Asian parents are "authoritarian" by Western standards, but it is underpinned by love.
If you don't get it, you won't get it.
(BTW, these values are surprisingly the same all over Asia -- from Japan to India and China to Indonesia)

"Whatever happened to that child
With eyes so bright and love so wild
His many dreams of the starry sky
Couldn't change the fact he wasn't meant to fly"
