I could see the PRC having a pop at Taiwan sooner rather than later. Go now in some hopefully sub-war way while the US is in disarray with Trump teething pains and has yet to complete its full pivot to the Pacific. Go while the US is weak rather than wait.

No one has stood up to an American president as well as Zelenskyy did yesterday since Hugh Grant told off the dastardly Billy Bob Thornton in Love Actually.

Ok. Once and for all. Trump is anti Ukraine, anti Democracy, anti Europe and, above all, pro Putin. There can be no more doubt—it’s just a disaster it’s taken so long for people to understand it.

Zelenskyy showing that it is always right to stand up to blustering bullies. Thank you.

Trump appears to have realised that deal negotiations are really easy if you just give the other side what they want.

Enlightened statesmen will not always be at the helm…. Men of factious tempers, of local prejudices, or of sinister designs, may, by intrigue, by corruption, or by other means, first obtain the suffrages, and then betray the interests, of the people. Madison, Federalist No 10

In its simplest terms, the apparent demise of #USAID is the result of the world's richest man ending a program that helps millions of poor people. You don't need a Ph.D. in moral theology to see why this is an evil. You can just read Jesus's parables on the rich and the poor.
