Re: 12-Dec-17 World View -- Pakistan overwhelmed and China alarmed over the China-Pakistan
But ... but ... I've always been told that the relationship between China and Pakistan is "higher than mountains, deeper than oceans, stronger than steel, sweeter than honey, and dearer than eyesight." John, as you know I am cynical beyond my years. But, I have some faith in the marketplace, long t...

Re: 12-Dec-17 World View -- Pakistan overwhelmed and China alarmed over the China-Pakistan
The Pakistani's should be worried. They should know that China only enters into trade arrangements that are designed to cripple/steal/ensnare the other country. The objective is global hegemony and subjugation, not building strong, mutually beneficial bilateral partnerships. Bend the knee. That is t...

Re: 11-Nov-17 World View -- European Union Brexit negotiator gives Britain a two-week ultimatum
Whether for Brexit or against. Despite the merits or problems with the European Union. If the Brexit vote is reversed or otherwise not honoured, then the concepts of representative democracy and self-determination are meaningless.

Re: 10-Nov-17 World View -- Saudi Arabia blockades Yemen, threatening millions to die in famine
If I’m not mistaken this blockade of basic aid goes against all international humanitarian law and the law of war and is completely without any legal justification that I am aware of. This is madness, they’re going to create another Syria.

Re: 9-Nov-17 World View -- Donald Trump in Seoul issues stern warning to North Korea -- and to China
Excellent article, John. With respect to the 2025 China Dream. I watched a very interesting presentation by Stanford University’s Scott Rozelle to CSIS detailing some of the problems in rural china. Specifically the deep intractable problems they have created for themselves vis-a-vis education, huma...

Re: 6-Nov-17 World View -- Saudi Arabia and Lebanon face increasing instability as crises multiply
The tempo of new crises is becoming dizzying. I quit watching the news and commenting online for the last few weeks because of some tough classes I'm in, and I feel like about 5 years worth of news has transpired in that time. How the hell do you even keep up with it all? For longest time I assumed ...

Re: 24-Oct-17 World View -- Xi Jinping's 'Socialism with Chinese characteristics' identical to Hitler's National Sociali
What I would like to know is, if their open sewage, smog-ridden shithole country is so great, why is half of Guandong province now living in my neighborhood? Shouldn't I be desperately fleeing the evils of western capitalism for the social workers paradise of say, Gansu? Since it's such a great plac...

Re: 4-Oct-17 World View -- Jihadist attacks in Mali surge with rise of al-Qaeda linked JNIM
well, yes. Compared to all the west and central African states. They're already facing an economic slowdown and al-shabbab. So it doesn't bode well for a region that is already rife with corruption, economic stagnation, crime, and terrorism.

Nigeria is the most stable developed economy in West Africa. The last thing that continent needs is the most stab,e country to collapse into chaos.
