From the Huffington Post Why Workplace Jargon Is A Big Problem http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/04/25/work-words_n_5159868.html?utm_hp_ref=business&ir=Business When we replace a specific task with a vague expression, we grant the task more magnitude than it deserves. If we don't describe an activity plainly, it seems less like an easily achievable goal and more like a cloudy state of existence that fills unknowable amounts of time. A fog of fast and empty language has seeped into the workplace. I say it's time we air it out, making room for simple, concrete words, and, therefore, more deliberate actions. By striking the following 26 words from your speech, I think you'll find that you're not quite as overwhelmed as you thought you were.

But Iran better be careful. More ICBM tests and they are liable to get a "Gulf of Tonken" shoved down their throats !
But I don't think Trumpf, Mattis or others in command look at it this way. I think they wait like Roosevelt did in 1937-1941 for something to change the US electorates mind.
Meanwhile on Bloomberg Surveillance today, the former Finnish prime minister suggested that the UK-less EU was prepared to take over the US world leadership role as the US backed out. I couldn't stop laughing.

In fact Angela Merkel is now the leader of the Free work since the United states
elected trump. Obama handed the power over to her.
The liberals are sure saying that, it's funny as hell.

Why are you saying that? In fact Merkel is the ruler of the free world. Trump has no credibility on the world stage, none, hell half the of the US wants Merkel to control the world. Do you think people in Sweden care what Trumps thinks, hell no, do you think people in Malta care what Trumps things, hell no. Thank God Obama gave her the world power before the election.

He didn't have it to give. Refusal to exercise power is the same as not having it.
If things continue to go the way they're headed, she isn't going to be the leader of Germany, let alone the leader of the free world.
So what in the world were you thinking, Snowflake?
Please stop using "snowflake" unless you use it correctly. It is not a general purpose pejorative (sorry to use such large words for you) but applies to particular adherents of PC culture at US universities. Get it right, or don't use it.
Plus, Merkel is not going to lose. She will realize her mistakes and learn from them, in order to change her political tactics. Trump is incapable of that level of thinking.
