IT's raining here cats and dogs on the west coast in the SF Bay area in California. It's also raining south of us too in San Luis Obispo and Santa Maria. It's even raining some in Tijuana and the San Diego Area and it's snowing hard in Mt. Shasta and the Sierras.
So, all of us are moving forward here into the New Year like you are wherever you are today.
We live in very strange times that are remarkably like the 1930s and 1940s once again. It appears to be cyclical even with the Trade Wars that brought on World war II by goading Japan into an honor bound attack on Pearl Harbor that was never meant by them to start World war II but only to punish the U.S. for besmirching their honor as Samurai with how they were treated in the Trade War.
Now we are looking at Chinese Honor which is of a different kind than Japanese Honor in many different ways. So, just expect the Chinese to punish the U.S. in a very different way than the Japanese tried to do. The punishment may be directed at Trump or the whole U.S. for electing such an idiot. So, we will see where it is all going in the next 10 to 20 years because Chinese revenge is often very slow not fast. They plan everything 50 years in advance often.
However, the other side of this has to be that the U.S. was the country that brought China to prosperity too. Without the U.S. ALL of the present prosperity of China could never have happened.
So, in some ways we adopted China into the International fold in the 1970s until now. So, they are sort of like an Adopted son of the U.S. and Europe as well. So, this is the paradox of China in relation to the whole world.
Maybe China sees Trump as an anomaly or someone as crazy as Kim Jong Un is. Maybe China is used to Crazy people who come to power periodically and will dodge the blows and just wait it out until they have a better U.S. president to deal with. Maybe someone like another Obama or Bush or Clinton.
