Can America beat Iran in a war? Maybe not.
…American over confidence could see Trump blunder into a conflict that could escalate and cause such an enormous amount of damage to the US navy that Trump has to escalate to reap vengeance.

BRICS nations (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) have for some time been exploring an alternative to this unique but increasingly fragile, US world oil for dollars hegemony.
Under its newest president, Brazil may have been picked off by the US but certainly, major oil producers Iran and Venezuela have joined this quest.
With Trump’s latest effort to smash Huawei the stakes are now much higher for New Zealand. To stick by Trump on this means that New Zealand will have little comeback if China takes counter-measures against us.

Mueller’s report is finally over and while the White House may try and censor anything too embarrassing, it doesn’t look like Trump is panicking at all and that could suggest that there’s no evidence of collusion.
If that’s the case, I think we are in real trouble.
Trumps speech yesterday brilliantly hit ever twang of America’s jingoistic banjo.
Every day another breathless opinion piece tells us Trump is almost finished, that his poll numbers have collapsed, that he is besieged and that the Mueller investigation will destroy him.

He’s done enough to spook with crime stats & inject righteous fury into his support base – he’ll announce it’s a National Emergency once Democrats turn down this latest offer to mimic the pretence of being reasonable.
Trump is not the first President to place cheap oil and unregulated corporate greed above the public good, but he is the first to be naked in his championing of those interests without the pretend crocodile tears.
Controversial Opinion: The Democrats actually kinda *lost* yesterday’s US Midterms.
