PARTLY FACETIOUS: Why does she always wear heavy makeup?

“What happens if a policeman goes rogue?”
“You…promote him!”
“You need to expand your horizon, my friend.”
“There have been many in positions of power who went rogue – be it because they were corrupt or violated laws or…”
“Hey when I said you need to expand your horizons I meant think global, not just local.”
“Ahhhhhh! Can I say something?”
“No, you clearly have the foot in the mouth disease – so I would shut up if I were you.”
“If I don’t say what I want to say I am likely to develop a severe case of dyspepsia, and between the foot in the mouth and dyspepsia I would prefer to get the former.”
“Dear Lord, give me patience.”
“The chief minister of Punjab’s coiffeur who doubles as her make-up artist(s) needs to be fired.”
“Hey whatever for?”
“She seems to know only how to do festive make-up and that is not quite what is appropriate while taking a little boat down a swollen river…”
“Shut up, anyway, when I asked what happens if a policeman goes rogue I was referring to the US as the policeman of the world.”
“The US has promised Qatar that it was a one-off attack by Israel…”
“Just curious: Israel is attacking how many countries – six or is it seven?”
“There is Gaza, and the West Bank, Lebanon and Yemen and Syria and now Qatar.”
“Iran is different – the countries I mentioned do not have any air power to retaliate, so Israel can bomb them till kingdom come.”
“True, so in response to your query, all I can say is that multipolarity as a concept is still evolving and there is no one to checkmate Israeli attacks.”
“One observation: if the evolution takes too long, how many of these extremely oil and gas rich countries won’t become a target…”
“Don’t go there, not yet anyway.”
