The main readership for the blog is USA and Russia and Europe. It isn't much, but a few hundred hits a day is okay. All I started yacking about, anyway, was the critical tectonic importance of North Asia rather than the importance of the USA, Australia etc. So much is happening in North Asia and so little of anything important is or can happen in the Middle East. No one really likes Israel or Palestine...Iraq or Syria or Libya...and how could anyone like them? They are non-starters in terms of massive human reason and abiding human importance.

Trump's comment re North Asia: Why doesn't China just go in and take North Korea? Because China doesn't invade Sovereign Nations, never has, never will, you dickhead. China respects National Borders. Invasion is not what China does. America does invasion...that's what it does in Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and Syria...and why the US is broke and corrupted beyond all belief. China does do peace and non-invasion. China does do good business. China lives well in the good future that they are every day creating for themselves, and secondarily, interconnected, interlinked, inter dependent...for the real world...rather than destroying everything they can wherever they can, as America continues to do as a sick and old and failing people.

I think both Hillary and Donald are very good at obeying the 3 Baby Boomer Laws of Politics: 1: Never Say You Are Sorry. 2: Never Explain. 3: Never Tell the Truth. I think Hillary is ahead in the professionalism regarding the above ethical laws of American Governance.

It must be really annoying for the Millenials that these World War 2 Baby Boomers hang on so tight and madly to fading Power, well beyond their capacity to deliver anything useful to the 21st century.

I think its amazing that old folks like Hillary and Donald would even try. I'm amazed that no one younger in all America has more talent. I am charmed that there is such respect for the very aged, infirm, and their odd views. I'm surprised neither have advocated free mobility scooters and viagra for all.

LOCAL ISSUES: AS I noted 3 years ago, the big AQIS Development at Yorkers Knob, not a bad idea, couldn't progress because the, then, new President, Mr Xi of China had put the bear traps out for Chinese corruption...and although Mr Fung was legitimate, the funding he needed for it would have had to come from dodgy Chinese folk (Hong Kong democracy-advocate billionaires)...the money was there, but was Black Money (proceeds of corruption). The initiation of the Free Trade Agreement between China and Australia meant that Australia has to give the details of Chinese investors in Australia to the Chinese Government on a reciprocal basis...which is quite reasonable. We demand the same. Ever since the rise to power of the most powerful being on Earth, ever, Mr Xi, things are becoming a bit more realistic and stable in the world. AQIS is a no-go. That Black Money went to buy American businesses in America. The positive thing is that China's corruption is reducing rapidly at the same rate as its domestic economy is leaping forward. Well done, Mr Xi. Smart man. A better world. We are connected.
