This is a response from A. Reader to Mr Stewart’s comment at the post Middle powers must act together because if we’re not at the table, we’re on the menu.

At Davos, as esteemed Monarchs must, Presidente-For-Life Trump castigated Mr Carney.

To His Highness, renegade outbursts from Mr Carney, Chief Clerk of America’s Lowly North Colony, warranted stern demands for subservience.

Seeing an opportunity to confirm his status as a pragmatic if liberal revolutionary, Mr Carney suggested that it is unwise to make deals with maniacal felons.

For this, Carney was lauded worldwide and invited\disinvited from the newly invented shunned, yet prestigious, Board of Peace. It now consists of states that have their own reasons to be involved. None of those reasons relate to building a peaceful world order focused on fairness and equality.

As a result, under consideration is a new identity. The new name: BORED WITH PEACE.

As we all know, waging war can provide highly profitable business for well-positioned people. In peaceful time, economic benefits tend to be shared with everyone, something that repels the rich and powerful.

Let no one doubt that to America these are exceptionally impressive allies. Unless their citizens try to emigrate.

We have another example of Trump’s USA:

Federal immigration agents arrested and detained a Gresham family, including a 7-year-old child, outside a Portland hospital last week as the girl’s parents sought emergency medical care for her.

The arrest at Adventist Health hospital Jan. 16 took place less than 1,000 feet from the medical office parking lot where a Border Patrol agent shot and wounded a couple from Venezuela two weeks ago.

Oregon LIve

The family is in the USA legally.

More than half of Americans are reasonable people. Some have taken to the streets.
