№ 256. Urbi et Orbi 2

Geopolitics

"Trump becoming president of the United States is no laughing matter. It is the height of irresponsibility for the people of a country that insists on leading the world to even consider foisting on it a dangerous, trigger-happy gasbag whose every pronouncement so far fails to pass the test of seriousness and maturity. If conservative Americans still have not taken leave of their senses, they should rouse themselves from this nightmare and fire Trump for his fundamental unfitness to be Potus."


If this scenario pans out and the potty-mouth, pompadoured guy wins the throne in the White House. God bless the world! Diplomacy will have a lot of window dressing, crisis management and remedial measures to keep it hired, fired up and engaged. 

Or not.

The U.S. is a proto-Borg. It's an invasive specie that is geared toward assimilation.  Resistance is futile?

Well, as commonly held, the world is round and can tilt away from its current axis. Thus, there's China and the old adversary, Russia.

"After decades of quiet preparation, Beijing has recently begun revealing its grand strategy for global power, move by careful move. Its two-step plan is designed to build a transcontinental infrastructure for the economic integration of the world island from within, while mobilizing military forces to surgically slice through Washington’s encircling containment."
