    Exactly. It’s the classic salami slice method. Push a bit more, and if nothing happens go a bit further. They’ll keep doing that until they’re standing in Brussels or there is a serious reaction and pushback.

      Have you seen Nightcrawler with Jake Gyllenhaal? There is a scene when he first starts out filming, and he shoots a scene, and a cop tells him to step back, and in a split second you can see in his eyes, “and what if I don’t?”. And he doesn’t move, and the cops goes for him, so he sprints away.

      That’s this.

      “How far can I push this? What are the consequences? If there aren’t any, I’ll keep doing it.”
