I pursued a girl to New York one time, and so happened to be in Manhattan when 9/11 happened. As the city (and world) was in shock following that surreal day, every politician was making political hay and saying very predictable and maintain status quo kinds of things. It was frustrating for me.
Bill Clinton was in town to give a previously scheduled keynote speech to a convention of state governors. Say what you like about Bill Clinton's missteps(he's had a couple), but the man is a Rhodes scholar. He's probably the smartest president in at least the last 50 years. The speech he gave that day outlined the history of the middle east. It was informative and gave everyone who heard it, an idea of what we are up against when we meddle in the middle east. I missed him so much on that day. Intelligent discourse is pretty cool. The US does a pretty good job of selling bullets to the world. Weirdly, whenever there's a problem, the military solution is usually the one that's installed. This makes the Department of Defense pretty happy as they've got all these bullets just laying around waiting to "defend" stuff. So when a drone strike takes out a wedding party, it's more than just a PR problem. You've turned the happiest day for lots of people present into the saddest day. Vendetta, I've heard, was invented in the Middle East. So, when the US tries to make Big Oil and Big Bullet happy by using all these shiny toys and bombing the piss out of stuff, lots more people are unhappy. And pissed off. And un-inclined to see America wearing the white hat and selling blue jeans. The West has a very long history of Screwing things up in the Middle East. |

....and not just the Middle East-Africa as well...ever since our colonial forbears thought it was a good idea (in the interests of good, tidy administration, of course!) to draw straight lines on the map,regardless of existing tribal/ethnic/religious divides and migratory patterns....

The logic of the colonial borders was the logic of cake slicing. But the alternative pre-existing natural and logical borders were not really there.

I'm looking more at Merkel, Macron and Trudeau at the moment. It's much easier to fall down than it is to raise ones self up. The USA has fallen far in the past 6 months and we'll have to give other world leaders time to fill the void that President Trump has seemingly abdicated and isn't intellectually able to fill....

What is missing is emotional maturity. This man reacts very badly to being challenged; if you cross his will it becomes personal very quickly. He doesn't mind who he offends or insults and yet is awfully thin-skinned himself. He is unsuitable for his position in much the same way that King Herod the Great was unsuitable to run an infant daycare centre. At least he kept Hillary Clinton out and justly punished the Democrats for selling America in promissary notes to the highest bidder via the Clinton Foundation.

The only obstruction Trump is guilty of is obstructing Hillary from moving into the White House and wrecking the SCOTUS for our lifetimes. |

Yes - having sold the country to Putin is so much better than the Clinton red herring.

But actually Mr Putin has not bought either Mr Trump or America. Witness the missile strike against official Syrian government forces recently. In the long run, even if you did buy Donald Trump, it would be like buying a screwdriver made in China. The tool is too low quality to last long; and Mr Trump is too erratic and emotional to stay bought for long.
