20. It's a cancer

The constant public gushing over him, just for the sake of a good deal, is not helping anyone's situation, because it emboldens him to keep doing what he is doing and leaves other nations in the situation where they feel forced to kiss his ass as the only way to get something.

It turns international diplomacy into a toxic sludge of sycophantic adoration for a dictator.

No matter how you slice it, this is a diplomatic failure by Canada. It was a diplomatic failure by every nation in Asia.

Doing this type of stuff is weakness to him. This is exactly his intent. He wants to expose other countries as weak. He only understands anger and hate.
Giving in to him, even in a small way, is self-destructive and further harms the entire international community.
