Ben Rhodes, who was a foreign policy adviser under President Barack Obama, contradicted Trump’s message, writing on Twitter that it “is not at all true” China has the ability to solve the North Korea issue quickly, and warned that the president’s message involves a “very dangerous and destabilizing approach.”Maybe Trump should be talking more to Putin, too, about his attempts to subvert the US role in the region.
* Islamic terrorism and aircraft: it is a worry that there are Sydney based wannabe terrorists trying to come up with plans to take down an airliner.
I would assume this plan was detected via eavesdropping on internet and other communications. Meanwhile, Australian IPA aligned libertarian types, I saw last week, are against the government enforcing tech giants to provide a way to unencrypt stuff, because (hey, it's libertarians) - money!
* Both Italy and large parts of Australia are very dry at the moment. There is also recent concern about the loss of fertile land in Africa.
One has to ask why is Trump so profoundly ignorant on north korea. He may have a mediocre secretary of State but his people in Defence and National Security are first class. He simply must not listen. We knew candidate Trump was a very ignorant person but most people did not expect this to continue in such a way when he became President!
