Listening to the Radio News in the Morning

Waking up to a diet of doom and gloom about the events going on around the world can be so depressing. I keep promising myself that I will listen to my favourite music station when I get up and make do with its occasional 2 and 3 minute summaries. But I am weak-willed and cannot break the habit for more than a day or two.

But this morning...😃

For some reason I smiled as soon as I heard the headlines and my whole day feels a lot better. There seems to be a note of optimism in the world at last. I wonder why?

I think America is waking up to the idea that that fruitless war with Iran must stop. If only for world trade and boost its Economy.

But stopping it is not easy, unless Iran wants to trade. China needs its oil so has some leverage. It also wants oil from the Gulf States and Saudi Arabia. Iran and Saudi Arabia are both BRICS nations.

But the fly in the ointment is Isreal. It will do it’s own thing, and has no interest in world solutions.

Trump is now a lame duck but can still do a lot of harm. The Republican Party will reassess. And the Democrats can find a new leader. It will be an interesting two years. With many unpredictable players and Countries having their say.
