"All talk and no cider" -> nghĩa là chỉ giỏi nói, hứa hão, nhưng chẳng làm được gì.

Ví dụ
It's been many years that we've been asking for electricity and buying land. It's just been all talk and no cider.

These nations support Australia in accordance with their own political interest. For instance, staying quiet may seem embarrassing for the US as a "leader" of the West, especially after Australia actively fought for the US' anti-China campaign; not to mention that other "friends" are only offering all talk and no cider.

The MDC Alliance youth wing once blamed President Mnangagwa for misusing resources by bussing supporters to attend his address in Cape Town ahead of the World Economic Forum on Africa 2019 earlier this month. They were meant to boost the numbers and diminish the chances of humiliation just in case there was a no-show or booing of the Zimbabwean head of state. However, it would certainly be remiss if we do not consider the journey that ended President Mnangagwa without an audience. He started well by poising himself as different from Mugabe and a listening president then contaminated his reputation by presiding over human rights abuses and a plummeting (tụt xuống) economy. That is when the world concluded that he is all talk and no cider therefore unworthy listening.
