Needs Must When the Tribble Drives

It's a cruel hard world for special people, and perhaps never more so than when enemies are inconsiderate enough to fight back. Fortunately, the United States also has allies and client régimes, and the Trumpster administration has shown itself prompt in turning on those whenever circumstances require. Although Denmark and Spain proved recalcitrant, Italy dubious and Britain whinily half-hearted, the recently installed satrap in Venezuela has obligingly rolled over and permitted the extraction of a slightly smaller quantity of enriched uranium than that which has served among the less whimsical pretexts for the Persian Crusade. The spoils of this brilliant victory were transported to South Carolina; presumably for storage in the private larder of the Trumpster's rabid radioactive head-tribble, which will surely be made greater as a result.
