No, 360. We were allies, then we approved of the blockade of our ally. then we asked for the blockade to be lifted. That's one time around. That's 360 degrees. But then, geometries are hard.

Traditionally, between each 180 degree turn you get some think tank to prostitute itself with a 250-page report supporting your volte face.

These people aren't even trying a cover-up, it's all 3rd-world-failed-state.

I’d say this was appropriate here, but this moron wouldn’t have the self awareness to recognize the shade.

There used to be a time when the bad money was outweighed by the clean money. That time is gone.

That's what I get for posting while sleepy. Usually people mean 180 but say 360. Do forgive me.
