I've never seen on the side of pack of twizzlers a promise of world peace, albeit I've not sought to buy any recently. Were there one I'd still expect a plausible explanation for how it was to be achieved. As best as I can tell the president basically decided to buy a rolex from some random criminal on the streets using company funds without consulting his partners and at 5x the regular price then came home to find out it wasn't just not a rolex but might actually have a particularly nasty type of mold growing in the wristband ready to spread to his other possessions.

And you're not only defending this, you're praising it as a brilliant move and insulting those who disagree... there is a line between favorable devotion and outright lunatic fanatical following. You've crossed it. It may well be that when all the facts are presented and the dust clears that this wasn't a bad deal, or maybe even a brilliant one in some thus far unseen way like we have trackers on the guys we traded, but from the known information it looks pretty damned stupid, and you as well for not just defending it but declaring it some sort of master stroke.
