Interesting Times

If anyone can bring America through these “interesting times”, Trump can. And I, like millions of other real, patriotic Americans, will support him in every way I can Interesting Times

It is said that there’s an old Chinese curse, “May you live in interesting times”, wherein “interesting” appears to be sarcastically ironic. Well, folks, I can’t speak for anyone else, but as I look around each day, I cannot help but conclude that we are, indeed, living in “interesting times”.

China, on many levels, second only to the United States, has performed the Great Leap Forward that Mao dreamed of, but since he was a raging, dogmatic communist, couldn’t pull off. They’ve gone from a Third World, blatant, heavy handed, rigidly communist police state to a First World, semi-capitalist, relatively free – the police presence is still very much there, but is toned way down – world power. However, what has never changed with the Chinese, for some 5,000 years, is the certainty that they are the rightful rulers of the world. They now have the economic, technical, and military wealth to move aggressively toward that goal, and are doing so at a disturbingly rapid pace.

But could President Trump be planting the seeds of an American renaissance?

I remember it as: “May you be condemned to live in interesting times”

Yes, but the forces of evil are eager to strangle it in its crib.

That creates the ideal conditions for the perfect geopolitical storm.

The 'interesting times,' megabattle between two sick delusional cultures both sure they were destined to rule the world.

Tough choice.
Koranimals?
Or a culture that eats dogs??
