Trump is an extortionist, a desperate failure in his desperate hour and the backlash is going to have horrendous consequences for the US. Still preying on Japan 80 years later is despicable.

In its present trajectory the US is headed for the trash bin of

history and will have no one or nothing to blame but itself.

There will be few tears shed by its all too numerous offended

victims across the world when destiny comes knocking on its

barricaded door!

As usual, the US view is for short term gains, and not for long-term strategic vision. Which essentially means the US rein as a world power is in rapid decline, and the US population is basically fucked. However, the argument can be made that it is the fault of the US public for allowing this to happen by collectively sticking their heads in the sand of ignorance and allowing their supposed leaders to screw.

Dear Prof Hudson,

How Energy is the absolute driving force for all economies is something I have obsessed over for years and just now compiled a series of essays with detailed explanations for the lay audience. Parts 1 to 5 have been published on the Greanville Post so far.

Part 7 in particular has key diagrams providing vital insights.

Unless ALL economists take energy matters into account, they will be blindly stumbling about in the dark.

This needs to be incorporated into all your writings and all your discussions especially with Radhika Desai, Richard Wolff and Ben Norton.
