The U.S. routinely hammers poor and smaller nations with its economic power and it's ability to destroy economies - as it has been doing with Venezuela and Iran. And when the U.S. does it, it's good. But China is not allowed to do the same to the U.S.  No.

Funny thing. Brazil's Bolsonaro is one of the world's most extreme and vicious rulers. In this case, he is encouraging people to shoot 'criminals' in the streets. But there's never a word of criticism from Trump. Of course not. This is Trump's kind of guy.

And that  raises another question we have not dealt with. Climate change raises another huge problem our leaders (especially Conservatives) refuse to discuss. It has already displaced tens of millions of people. Europe has accepted some - albeit in dreadful conditions. But the policy now is to just let them drown at sea or die of hunger at home.

The U.S.-Mexico border is similar. Contrary to Trump's statement, Latin Americans are not fleeing to the U.S. to murder Americans and push drugs. (Americans don't need any help with that. In fact, they could teach Latins how to do it.) These people are fleeing the poverty that the U.S. has created in Latin America with low wages, puppet governments, and an army of hired thugs that are called the CIA.

The  numbers of these refugees are steadily rising as climate change and our greed destroy their homeland. And, in that case, the west could go on kicking them out to drown. Some studies put their numbers as high as a  billion. Any thoughts on the Canadian response?

Perhaps we could ask premier Doug Ford of  Ontario and his Conservative party. Or we could ask the Conservative, greedy twit politicians.......

There are monstrous problems that are going to come down on us soon. And solving them will be far more difficult than kicking life rafts out to sea.

Of course. This is why Trump dropped the old agreement.

I have shortened the blog because for the last few days I have been a very sick little boy, and scarcely in this world. I hope to be better in a  couple of days.
