BBC bosses Questioned by MPs Chief Tim Davie Admits 'Lost Trust' in Gaza Documentary
As I said, ignore the warnings from the cross party group of MP's This is the man who is in charge who will now be doing a review. More like a white wash is my prediction according to the MP's statements and his lack of leadership. -

President Zelensky sees the light?
But the US needs the world or it wouldn't have over a hundred military bases in over 40 different countries. Time they packed their bags and moved to Russia with their new found mates. -

Trudeau Blasts US Tariffs, Vows Canada Will Stand Strong
It’s a total mess. As the Ford Motor chief executive Jim Farley courageously (compared to other chief executives) pointed out, “Let’s be real honest: Long term, a 25 percent tariff across the Mexico and Canada borders would blow a hole in the U.S. industry that we’ve never seen.” So, either Trump wants to blow that hole, or he’s bluffing, or he is clueless. If it is the latter, Trump is going to get a crash course in the hard realities of the global economy as it really is — not how he imagines it. Ecosystems? Listen a bit to Beinhocker, who is also the executive director of the Institute for New Economic Thinking at the Oxford Martin School. In the real world, he argues, “There is no such thing as the American economy anymore that you can identify in any real, tangible way. There’s just this accounting fiction that we call U.S. G.D.P.” To be sure, he says, “There are American interests in the economy. There are American workers. There are American consumers. There are firms based in America. But there is no American economy in that isolated sense.” The old days, he added, “where you made wine and I made cheese, and you had everything you needed to make wine and I had everything I needed to make cheese and so we traded with each other — which made us both better off, as Adam Smith taught — those days are long gone.” Except in Trump’s head. Instead, there is a global web of commercial, manufacturing, services and trading “ecosystems,” explains Beinhocker. “There is an automobile ecosystem. There’s an A.I. ecosystem. There’s a smartphone ecosystem. There’s a drug development ecosystem. There is the chip-making ecosystem.” And the people, parts and knowledge that make up those ecosystems all move back and forth across many economies. As NPR noted in a recent story about the auto industry, “carmakers have built a vast, complicated supply chain that spans North America, with parts crossing back and forth across borders throughout the auto manufacturing process. … Some parts cross borders multiple times — like, say, a wire that is manufactured in the U.S., sent to Mexico to be bundled into a group of wires, and then back to the U.S. for installation into a bigger piece of a car, like a seat.” Trump just waves off all of this. He told reporters that the U.S. is not reliant on Canada. “We don’t need them to make our cars,” he said. Actually, we do. And thank goodness for that. It not only enables us to make cars cheaper, but also better. All that a Model T did was get you from point to point faster than a horse, but today’s cars offer you heating and cooling and entertainment from the internet and satellites. They will navigate for you and even drive for you — and they’re much safer. When we can combine more complex knowledge and complex parts to solve complex problems, our quality of life soars. But here’s the catch. You cannot make complex stuff alone anymore. It’s too complex. And if you are not part of these ecosystems, your country will not thrive.” And trust is the essential ingredient that makes these ecosystems work and grow, Beinhocker adds. Trust acts as both glue and grease. It glues together bonds of cooperation, while at the same time it greases the flows of people, products, capital and ideas from one country to the next. Remove trust and the ecosystems start to collapse. Trust, though, is built by good rules and healthy relationships, and Trump is trampling on both. The result: If he goes down this road, Trump will make America and the world poorer. Mr. President, do your homework. -

Trudeau Blasts US Tariffs, Vows Canada Will Stand Strong
Apparently this extremely weak, highly unstable and very fickle man has backed down on Canada tariffs after the stock market tanks for Just 2 days. Is it possible that this unskilled, unintelligent, badly informed man is actually getting the message that tariffs have the potential to destroy the economy? Does he have the potential to learn anything? Is he capable of learning? Does he have anyone that even resembles a smart advisor? Maybe. Just maybe. -

All planned, or just the way it turned out ?
I was a military brat, and I was in the military myself. Overseas deployments where a fact of life. And I enjoyed my time overseas - a lot! Even spent the first three years of my education in a post-WWII London English boys school. It all shaped my world-view. After the events leading to my last divorce, the first thing that came into my mind is, "I've leaving the country and moving overseas." Just like that. I've never looked back. -

Easy pass. On tollways
Only the number 9 ring road so far I believe. It's supposed to eventually go nationwide but I've never seen it anywhere else.
