There was once an actor who became a President and a President who became an actor

Only time will tell who made the best career choice but it’s almost certain that they will never become a double-act.

Trump has started to turn the world as we know it upside down and despite having deep concerns about the way he is implementing his policies there are some I agree with.

Europe has relied on America for far too long to be the main supplier of security both in terms of finance and military hardware, now that Trump has withdrawn some of this support Europe is scrambling to plug the gaps, if the Europeans succeed it will give them an independence they never had before with the chance to respond far faster to any future conflicts.

Now we come to finance and this could be a far more difficult problem to solve when even the most astute financial experts could struggle to predict with any certainty what will happen after Trump has introduced tariffs to so many different countries. Even the best jugglers in the world reach a limit to how many balls they can keep in the air at one time and the American President is going for the record.

If Trump gets the finances wrong it won’t only be his country that goes into recession; it will be the whole world.

Ukraine has always been fighting a war that it could not win or even draw without international aid and sadly it appears Trump is withdrawing most of that. It seems that America will take the majority of Ukraine’s mineral rights and possibly allow Russia part of them with all the land they have taken and allow them to expand much further into Ukraine.

Wars show the worst part of humans but I doubt we will ever arrive at a time when we all live together in peace.

I wonder what will happen to America if China invades Taiwan will the European countries support the Americans?

After one of the longest wettest winters in years the UK has just had three days of sun, not that warm about 12 degrees but enough for leaf buds to start to form on the trees and shrubs, blackbirds are starting to build nests, Of course, non of these life forms understand what being alive really means, but neither do we.
