Singapore, Trade and Geopolitics

Ike was right!

The Eagle, the Dragon, and the Bear
The Eagle, the Dragon, and the Bear Does Trump recognize the limits of US power? Trump’s new world order comes straight from The Godfather. There are three global powers: the US, Russia, and China.

The Diseased, Lying, Condition of America’s ‘News’Media
The Diseased, Lying, Condition of America’s ‘News’Media Both President Trump and former President Obama are commonly said in America’s ‘news’ media to be or to have been “ceding Syria to Russia” or “ceding Syria to Russia and Iran,” or similar allegations.
