Nope. Not all oldsters.
It’s a skit from SNL back when Gadaffi was making noise about his “line of Death” in the Gulf of Sidra. Every time he drew the line, he would say “Cross this line you die.” The American would step over the line. Gaddafi backed up and drew another line.
Something along those lines.
The US has taken on the role of Gaddafi these days. We get attacked. Our response is to say, “Don’t attack us or we might do something bad.” Then we get attacked again. And again. And again.
