@dover,
Who do you think you are!!! Some foreigner telling me who is an American and veteran and someone who worked for the US Government (DoD) for 37 yrs how my government works. You must be kidding.
Mister what I would like to say is inappropriate and in the name of diplomacy I will bear the burden of your colossal failure to do the same, But make no mistake in matters such as this with your documented evidence, your full identity may not be protected. I wonder what your embassy or appropriate diplomatic representative would think of your behavior as a representative of New Zealand. This is not a joke, you may have crossed the line.
However, since you appear to know so much about my Government, you would do well with reading our constitution and understanding the history & powers of the POTUS as well as appreciating the influence that the POTUS has. By mid-March the Governors of many US states moved to lock-down based on the advice of science and independent of any guidance by POTUS. Congress begged POTUS to invoke the war powers/national emergency act that gives POTUS wide ranging authority to direct businesses, and execute and fund contracts independent of Congress; such is the authority of the POTUS.
You as a foreigner can speak among yourselves, but to try to be my conscious, as an American you are way out of line. Any further communique I will have with you will be through official diplomatic channels. However, in the interest of diplomacy let this be our last communique.
