Coherent..

Sir Tony Blair has issued a rallying call to Western nations to come together to develop a coherent strategy to counter the rise of China as “the world’s second superpower”.

Delivering the annual Ditchley lecture the former prime minister called for a policy towards Beijing of “strength plus engagement” as he warned the era of Western political and economic dominance was coming to an end.

He said Western powers needed to increase their defense spending in order to maintain their military superiority while extending their “soft power” by building ties with developing nations.

“The biggest geo-political change of this century will come from China not Russia,” he said. The world is going to be at least bi-polar and possibly multi-polar.

With China – as well as countries such as Russia, Turkey and Iran – pouring resources into the developing world while building strong defense and political links, Sir Tony said it was essential the West did not forget the importance of soft power.

We are going to need all the countries that we Sanctioned including Russia. Just a thought.

Rocky Road..

 

The various fractions of the Democratic party are doing a number on this Presidency which make it difficult for all American, Retirees, Fixed Income etc with the higher cost of living.

The Democratic President didn't have to go to the Saudi's if he didn't have the desire to fight the Russians, prevent them from selling their oil, wheat, fertilizers.. etc.Sanctions on Russia is intended to destroy the Russian Economy, but the outcome now is the destruction of many other countries' economies.  Just a thought.

Cratering..

 

President Biden is facing a disaster with young voters, increasing fears among Democrats that they are in danger of losing a generation if he doesn’t improve his standing with Generation Z.

Biden’s approval rating has declined across the board among Democrats, but the figures with people under 30 years old is cratering.

A New York Times-Siena College poll this week found 94 percent of Democratic primary voters ages 18 to 29 saying the party should nominate someone other than Biden in 2024. 

Biden, 79, has never been the candidate for younger Democrats, though they did rally to help him win the White House in 2020 as the president endorsed key progressive policy initiatives to address climate change and other issues.

Now the polls suggest they could abandon him altogether amid frustration with a lack of progress in Washington on everything from climate change to abortion rights, south borders, to inflation, to Gas prices, to high price of food, rents... etc  Just a thought.

Raise..

 

What about the retirees, and people with limited income. When this white House play around with people's livelihood. Billions are given to the Ukraine, extending the war and the struggle of food shortage, oil prices and gasoline cost. The inflation is told transatory for the wasteful spending to take place. Now the little people and the 

retirees are paying a heavy price.  Just a thought.

Selfie..

 

An American tourist fell into Mount Vesuvius, an active volcano in Italy, after trespassing to take a selfie, officials said.

The 23-year-old man, who dropped his phone and tried to retrieve it after the selfie, fell several meters into the ash of the crater before being saved by nearby park officials on Saturday.

These wonderful folks tend to say stupid things so as to cover up their own incompetence. They have writers and editors in their staff, but the talent come out shining out of these insults.

MayDay..
