Trump is a poor leader. Yet he hasn't waged major war anywhere so is very unlike Obama, Bush, Clinton etc, going way back to that remarkable man Jimmy Carter. I'm not an American and I do see them as bizarre foreigners in an adolescent ridiculously powerful and greedy culture usually bent on attacking anyone they like...but always only countries that can't fight back. As for Trump, well, if he continues to pull troops out of Europe and Asia, well, that's great! As for being an effective leader within the USA, well, no, he is not good, he is quite bad, but, they elected him and thus deserve him. I expect he will win the election. I feel the same with the remarkable propensity for Americans to have and need guns. If they only kill their own people within their own borders, then, well, that's their own choice and that's their own business.


North Korea and South Korea remain the broken tectonic plate for the world. This remains the only place that one could have a war involving pretty well everyone. The geo-position of the 2 Koreas, between China, Russia, Japan, and the floating USA armada means it is the most sought-after real estate on Earth. This is North East Asia. This is the big time. Israel and Saudi and Palestine fall into profound insignificance in comparison. The religions of both South and North Korea are indeed fascinating. I will write more about both. North Korea is very difficult for the USA to invade, which is why they haven't done it. Any invasion would meet with a huge number of feisty Chinese PLA soldiers arriving first in Pyongyang, followed by Russian soldiers. Then the US would be third to arrive...and then a big face-off between the 3. Not pleasant. This geo-position means North Korea will remain independent for a long time to come. The current Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un, educated in Switzerland, is in his thirties and surprisingly has survived in a very cut-throat system by being the 'most cut throating'. He is not positively healthy with a family disposition to diabetes and the cancers. Here is a picture of his sister, Kim Yo Jong, a serious and high ranking politician in the propaganda and agitation department, and his wife, in pink, Ri So Jul. It is believed that Kim Jong Un and his wife have 3 children.
