Trade War On Hold? Trump, Xi, And The G20 Summit
The G20 summit in Argentina has concluded. Are we better off? Will the temporary pause on new US/China tariffs hold? Anything positive from the brief Trump/Putin meet and greet? Missed opportunities?

An assessment of American policy, interests and objectives in Syria exposes deep flaws and inconsistencies and underlies a much likely “private agenda”; one where American-Israeli regional interests are at the center.
The RIC dialogue mechanism is supposed to be an indispensable element of multilateral net diplomacy that can provide gravitas to the processes leading toward establishment of a fair world order. How the RIC format at the summit level will evolve as a strategic triangle remains to be seen.

Så här i advent tänkt jag berätta om ett antal julfilmer från min barndom som jag vill tipsa om. Den första är A Christmas Carol från 1984, den enligt min mening bästa filmatiseringen av Dickens julsaga.
Filmen innehåller inte ett spår av ironi utan är innerlig och sentimental från början till slut. George C. Scott presterar fint som den snåle och bittre gubben Ebenezer Scrooge. ”Bah! Humbug!” fnyser han när man önskar honom god jul.
(CD) — Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is facing calls to resign after Israeli police on Sunday recommended indicting him and his wife on fraud and bribery charges.

OK, Most readers to this blog are well aware of my stance on the bullshit of "political correctness" and especially on the fraud of opening our borders and allowing every conceivable sewer rat from some backwards hell hole to come flooding into our nations and poison and/or destroy our societies... I have no qualms in pointing out how my own country, Canada, has allowed too many of these fucking rejects from what every shit hole they came from to come flooding into this once free nation only to be useless as citizens and just reproduce and collect welfare payments!

It should be a given by now that when Trump wholesale "borrowed" all Bernie’s populist talking points-- albeit with nothing whatsoever behind them-- about cutting the prices of pharmaceuticals, he was just talking out of his ass. Trump will never force the drug manufacturers to bring prices of drugs down to the levels they are in other countries.
