I'm just so used to him lying non-stop that I have a hard time believing he ever utters anything with a trace of truth to it.

The fire jumps from treetop to treetop. Just like a old Xmas tree goes up like a blowtorch.

From the first paragraph from the article you linked to;

While Finland has so far been spared the devastating wildfires that have struck neighbouring Sweden and other European countries this hot, dry summer, firefighters have had to deal with several small to medium-sized blazes in recent days – just as some Finnish teams headed to help fight conflagrations in Sweden.

What's nice to see in that article is that the do not shy away from the cause, Climate Change.

was just too much. I would bet anything that said conversation never happened and he is pulling shit out of his fat ass as usual.

He always has to lay blame somewhere. He can never just offer condolences and promises of aid. It always has to be about blame and political points with him. Miserable bastard.
