Uhm, this is normal.
During the olympic hostages Pres. Carter hummed and hawed and wondered what to do. Russia found the brother of the terrorist leader and mailed him a testicle with a little note saying “more to follow.”
They got their athletes back next day WITH a televised apology. America got theirs back after a major financial transaction and many weeks without an apology….
Guess who has problems with terrorists today and who doesnt?
