Optimistic about Trump (I'll work out how to put pictures in the next post)
America has got the president it needs.
Being Trumped as far as I see it is that the US is going to have to be either more diplomatic or press the button. With luck the white house will have it's hands full with Trump not being a politician and not knowing how all the bits fit together. I don't think Trump will be told as he's the boss.
If he keeps insulting China will they start dumping that US debt it's holding and go for a Gold backed currency along with Russia and maybe India?
I believe US has starting exporting oil so cutting lose Saudi Arabia letting go the Middle East and if there really is a ideological war the Russians can deal with it.
I question that the Russians want to expand on it's western front. What's happened to the buffer zone when the USSR collapsed. Why has NATO moved into it?
It will be messy in the US and I'm optimistic that that is where it will stay.
Oh, you know what America needs. Does America know it? Why aren't you optimistic about Putin? That's strange
I like Putin and think he's a strait talker and talks a lot of sense. However he's no saint. At least Russia has not expanded its military into the the buffer zone created in Europe by the collapse of the USSR.
Post world war two talk of a 'World Government' or 'New World Order' started in the US. The idea to disarm all countries and arm the U.N. makes a lot of sense. Unfortunately the US appears to have taken on that task upon its self. The US doesn't abide by International laws it does not like, as do others, but to hold the moral high ground it should.
It appears that the US is a right wing country and it's everyone for themselves. I believe that a socialist world would be a better model. Putin, at the moment, is more cooperative and conciliatory as is Xi Jinping of China. Where as the military might the US uses to intervene in sovereign states is a shameful history, Britain was just the same, but if the US calms down and becomes a defensive rather than an offensive nation I believe the odds of WW3 will reduce and the US is capable of helping a lot towards world peace.
Trump will possibly make the US more isolationist and with luck they will use their finances internally and let the world calm down and re-balance, at least for a while. I believe that going back to commodity money, like the Gold standard, so that a country can't just print money for foreign adventures to grab resources.
"not expanded", "the military might the US uses to intervene in sovereign states"
Did the US intervene into the Crimea? The Ukraine?
