Note to a Poker Player

            There are all kinds of players in a poker game.  Some have very few chips, while others have a lot. Nations involved in the game of international affairs are like poker players.  It would seem that those holding high cards (like aces/exotic weaponry) are still playing politesse. But there are moments  when being overly cautious is no longer timely nor the right thing to do. You know you have a strong hand. Uncle Sam, call the bluffer's bluff.  Show your winning hand!
