America bombs a new bridge in Tehran – maybe because then can – no strategic gain, but it will piss off Iranians. There is no apparent objective of military value in taking out key infrastructure. His blockade of Cuba is also proving to be ineffective, Russia is delivering oil whilst China is providing solar panals and solar batteries. Forcing Cuba to realign with Russia and China is counter productive in geopolitical terms, it is like having a vast aircraft carrier in America’s backyard. So Trump’s bully tactics and posteiring are proving to be not only embarrassing but also counterproductive. And the Epstein files are not going away and domestically he is losing support whilst the opposition Democrats are being given time to reorganise after there disarray and disaster at the last election. His tariff war on just about every other country has resulted in a drop in USA manufacturing (100.000 fewer jobs and an increased deficit in trade of manufactured goods). Inflation is in the pipeline and we are not even half way through his second term.
Meanwhile back in the UK Farage is fighting to offset yet more bad publicity created by Reform candidates, I so hope Reform fades in the May council elections and we can stop seeing tadface on our media outlets.
Food supplies are said to be at risk of high inflation due to the increased cost of fertilisers. Organic producers will obviously be less affected. And yet the government wants to build on green belt land and farms? Why are our best brains not looking at the input and output elements of food production?
And children have used swarming tactics to basically riot and shoplift in Croydon. The interesting thing, to me, was that they mainly targetted food outlets like McDonalds, rather than electronic stores to loot! Another example of our bored and disadvantaged and disaffected youth. Bring back the youth clubs and virtually free sports clubs. The economic and health savings would be astronomic!
