Very good analysis of the highly unstable and dangerous world that we are in now. The world badly needs Trump to be trounced in the Midterm Elections and for some balance to be restored in the American system. The alternative doesn't bear thinking about

A narrow sector by sector approach encourages each side to take a very narrow focus with very few significant agreements as each side looks for an advantage in each sector. A holistic view allows each to look beyond a zero-sum game to a "win some but lose some", but with bigger overall gain

It's actually 0.15% (population 350 million). But still, in absolute terms, a very large figure

It is now clear why Trump was wanting to force a Ukrainian surrender to Putin invasion. Trump wanted to do the same and seize Venezuelan oil

The rest of the world wishes the Americans the very best of luck in neutering Trump
