This is the ideal moment to refer again to the Death of Diplomacy following our first comment which coincided with the US elections last November.
Situation on Planet Ocean and in particular the messy Ukrainian and Middle Eastern wars are not yet over and we are going to witness incalculable repercussions affecting us all and many more conflicts which are about to surface.
In certain quarters, diplomacy (so-called) is being replaced by overt bullying, insults and role-play (aimed at getting maximum social media click-time), as we have seen on Friday. Old-style diplomacy was carried out behind closed doors, often deviously, but at least a certain amount of potential conflict could be defused. Of a piece with this is the Trump administration’s replacement of the White House press pool by a group of social media people who reportedly get their briefings directly from Trump sources.
As per my projections and given that in my humble view we are at World War Three – have numerous times mentioned this ever since the war against ISIS in Syria etc., etc., you haven’t seen what is yet to come. We are very much concerned about the Shipping Industry which keeps Planet Ocean alive given, its ninety centum involvement in moving goods/cargoes around the Seven Seas and the well being of Seafarers.
We live in interesting times and mining’s end products, like the true cause of the Trojan War – have a read on Iliad, repeat itself once again in Ukraine AND in the western shores of the Middle East. Energy knowledge is paramount to understand the game so far… A must to see the Mighty Continent resurface; watch this space!
