Current Events Still Current

FIRST:  I watched part of the debate between the two VPs and was not impressed with either one but turned it off, after I realized the MODERATORS WERE BIASED.

One of these days, the USA and its democratic based media will come to terms with how undemocratic they have been...  and it is all because they fear the influence of TRUMP....  my opinion.

SECOND:  Russia continues to wage war against Ukraine and the world should take notice because RUSSIA has been UNABLE to defeat their opponent without using NUCLEAR WEAPONS.  This should tell the rest of the world that RUSSIA IS NO LONGER the big threat that they claim to be.  Their soldiers are either poorly prepared, poorly trained, poorly led, or just don't want to fight anymore.

Bullies are no longer bullies when they cannot back up their threats with actions.  Russia reminds me of my third grade where some taller boys were beating up on the shorter boys because they could, only to be stopped by other taller boys who thought their actions were wrong.

THIRD:  Israel has the RIGHT to defend herself and is doing so with remarkable elegance, efficiency, skill, and determination.  All of this is done with being totally supported by the USA.  In fact, that support has fallen so short of expectations, that Israel NO LONGER shares its plans with the USA.

However, the USA is forced by prior agreements to support Israel should they be attacked like they recently were by IRAN.

While this conflict is escalating, I am not sure if the MAJOR PLAYERS really want to engage in an all out WORLD WAR III.  If there is a WWIII, then more than likely it will be non-nuclear because of the destruction a nuclear war would cause.

Additionally, a world war would only HURT ALL THE GLOBAL ECONOMIES and many of these countries also fear regime changes and the loss of power.  For some reason, most people like to live inside GROWING ECONOMIES.

FOURTH:  The longshoremen strike on the east coast will eventually backfire on the longshoreman even though in the short term, they might win a few concessions.

Biden refusal to intervene shows his ignorance or the anger he has for his own party for forcing him to step down from the race.  

WHY?

Because this strike will hurt the economy and influence the November election only a few weeks away.

On the longshoremen side of the equation, if they get higher wages, it will simply PUSH UP INFLATION due to the higher costs that the companies will pass along to the consumer.

Also, the longshoremen don't want AUTOMATION, but AUTOMATION is coming, and these workers are not going to be able to stop it once GLOBAL PRESSURE is place upon American Ports to improve their efficiencies.

Manpower does not change the economy as much as the economy is changed by TECHNOLOGY.

Resist all you want but change is INEVITABLE...
