Interesting reading Tom! I'm quietly hoping Trump achieves another miracle and brings about world peace. The deepstate has committed many misdeeeds in the past and you rightly point this out.

I keep coming back to this point. The U.S. is not a trustworthy partner in international diplomacy. Putin has called them ‘not agreement capable’ and the Russian phrase he used carries the connotation that the person will not honor any deal he makes, not that he’s incapable of making a decision.
