Volte-face...
any predictions are very risky. Again it's like nothing we have seen since the 1956 Suez Crisis.
The game of Russian roulette...
In the social media world who knows what is going on? One minute its one thing then its another. The game of diplomacy has bee replaced with a form of russian roulette. A gun has been placed to our head, who knows what’s going on!
Firstly Trump wanted Canada, then he waltzed into Venezuela. Arrested Maduro, freed people who had committed crimes way worse than him? His ‘oil barons’ don’t want Venezuelan oil it turns out.
Then he wants Greenland, for reasons unknown, in a petulant move he says one of the reasons he is doing this is Nobel Prize related. The diplomacy of a child. If he screams loud enough then perhaps he will get what he wants? Punishing countries for not giving him a Nobel Peace Prize is crazy. It is enough to make you cry. Keep calm and carry on? Difficult. Intimidation by a crazy man? Indeed. Better not let him know about the lithium deposits near Plymouth, England
Then another volte face by Trump arguing that we should not have done a deal with Mauritius, with regards to a tiny spit of land, Diego Garcia. A deal that the dealmaker in chief signed off on. Dear Nigel, fearing rejection by his best friends in America spins his viewpoint daily. Not surprising really. We worry about a Chinese mega embassy in London, but what about the 'Big Ear', spying on everything, an American base. Who knows what they do?
Everything is going weird and I blame agitprop on the internet. An interesting fact is that when the internet was pulled in Iran all the X posts about Scottish independence stopped. ‘Proud Scots lass’ and her ilk lost their voice. Interesting? Not really.
Where does it all go now? The world is spinning around like a roulette wheel. Bad and mad...
