(115,735 posts)1. Has His Lardship offered any help at all?
Even just an offer of some kind of help, whether it's manpower, supplies or money, would be the sort of thing most leaders would do, but he's not most leaders.

When Siberia was experiencing all those fires last summer. Maybe hell offer to send the Aussies a shipment of rakes.

https://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/technology/us-canadian-firefighters-will-help-local-efforts-in-bushfire-crisis/news-story/b3682d095caacf22de608e1fb123a9d9
North American firefighters have been arriving in Australia since early December to assist in the countrys bushfire crisis with more to be deployed on Monday.
But imagine if our military went down in force. The country is burning up FFS, 50 million animals dead, 6 species (at least) wiped out. Countless lives ruined. Sad
