I was raised with this song in my ears for years when a child, "Nuit de Chine, Nuit câline, Nuit d'amour" and I just can't push it aside, let alone away. Strangely enough, now a fat mouth has decided to submit the whole world to his will, to his deals under duress, it is China that appears as the only recourse, the real trump card in that game with an outlaw that is playing with his gun on the table.

THE END OF THE WEST COMES FROM THE EAST
or should I say THE MIDDLE EAST?
The Cat of Confucius
In our present time of crises and contradictions we have to stop one
moment and think as clearly as possible upon this following question: “Will we
survive the present crisis, not as individuals, not as nations, but as
humanity?” They all tell us about the ecological dangers in the present time:
the warming up of our planet; the climate change on our planet; the carbon
cycle that comes to a peak that will cause the eradication of some 80 to 90% of
all species on our planet soon, even if it takes ten thousand years to be
completed. And then you can add the various bubbles – debt, real estate,
overproduction, financial speculation, and even the social bubble of unrefrained

This last idea is the proof the world is sick and probably dying of insanity
because there are so many examples in history and particularly over the last
four or five centuries of crises in one country, in several countries, in many
countries that prove a limited financial crisis can bring the world down and
Keynes has not changed that. He has at best given us the illusion that we can
live on credit, not as individuals who are always caught up by their debts, but as
nations who can always do what they want with their currency, close their
borders, introduce limitations on the circulation of money, foreign currencies and
many other things of the sort like imports and exports.
Keynes could not know the globalized world we are just entering. And in
this globalized world goods, money, currencies, everything is one and no
country can survive alone, no country can even live alone, and unluckily no
country can die alone. What happens in one country is at once propagated into
the whole world like ripples or waves on the ocean. And some want to see
