Alternatively Brazil's president got into a needless spat with a neighbour offering assistance, and plunged public opinion further down the toilet of his country, which was already pretty low when their freaking national museum burned down.

So in short people are blustering at each other like a puffer fish to look good to their constituents?

In a nutshell. Real diplomacy is being done couple of levels lower.

Huh is that why Trump and Kim started talking? Do a spat first akin to how animals would snarl at each other then slowly ease aggression to start some talks?

Oh, I don't think either side sees the spat as a needless one. It serves both sides pretty well.

As for the national museum fire, not one thing the current President could have done about it, it was before his election. BTW, the guy who was at fault(the Director of the Rio de Janeiro Federal University, responsible for administrating the Museum; the National Museum fire was the third fire involving buildings under his responsibility of his tenure) is part of the same group of people who started the whole Pray for the Amazon thing. I understand that people outside Brazil wouldn't be aware of those things, and maybe won't even care, but still...

Trudeau himself, if you believe rumors that he is capable of making such decisions as what to wear and what to eat.

Everytime I see how Trudeau acts I don't get the impression he has a backbone and is only acting however he feels to get those ratings up.

Those are some LOUD socks... Holy cow, who thought that was a good combo?

It is rather shameful to see a Minister of the Queen of Canada dressing like some bongo musician at an affair of state, but such are modern times.
