Sounds like we see things pretty much the same way. Agree, if China starts a war with Taiwan, or in the South China Seas, Russia (and everyone else who shares a border with China to its West) will take advantage. Or the Uhygers, Tibet, etc. I just saw this headline, “Buttigieg Says U.S. Will Use Infrastructure Bill to Address Racist Highway Design” The Democrats should be my people. I hold them to a higher standard. I have no love for the Republicans. I’m sure I see them just like you do. It’s nuanced when I say they’re equal. As I write in my pieces, I just want to be young again so I can ignore all politics!!! That ain’t gonna happen, so here we are!!! Been busy, but look forward to finding your pieces!
