You know that you are a 70s kids when terms you heard back then apply now. Tin-pot dictator was the first thing I thought of when I saw this photo.
Tin-pot dictator is not a term of endearment. Instead think weak, inferior, petty ruler with delusions of grandeur, and cosplaying as a strongman.

A war where the US invades a European territory, thus triggering Article 5, thus putting NATO countries at war with another NATO country.
Who would benefit from that?
