US Foreign Policy vs. China Continues Under Trump
The incoming Trump administration is poised to pick up where the Biden administration has left off on the decades-spanning centerpiece of US foreign policy ‒ the encirclement and containment of China.

Observation/Rant: The Blob
I was listening to Daniel Davis and Ben Hodges, last night. There’s a point where Hodges calls Russians, “animals.” Davis doesn’t even pushback! It’s happened before, when Davis was on a radio show and the host used an ethnic slur when referring to Chinese people. I commented on that one, about the host being racist, as no one else had. This time I didn’t, as others were calling him out on it. That and I really wanted to cuss because it was Hodges. I hate biting my tongue, sometimes, because people like Hodges deserve my wrath!
It shows that despite some people not being fooled by “Russiagate,” they’re still fooled by “Chinagate.” Another thing that it shows is how the foreign policy establishment (AKA The Blob) thinks, including Davis (don’t forget that he’s with Defense Priorities). It all stinks of racism to me!
I still haven’t forgotten the articles like this one during Russiagate (the one that I linked to is by a Ukrainian-born Italian). I had a subscription to either the New York Times or the Wall Street Journal and cancelled it after Alexander of The Duran mentioned a similar article.

US State Department, YouTube Unveil Global Music Alliance
U.S. Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken and YouTube’s Global Head of Music Lyor Cohen announced today a new Department of State-YouTube partnership in support of the Department’s Global Music Diplomacy Initiative, a worldwide effort to elevate music as a diplomatic platform to promote peace and democracy in support of the United States’ broader foreign policy goals. At the core of the partnership is a roster of U.S. Global Music Ambassadors, which builds on the legacy of the iconic Jazz Ambassadors of the 1950s and 1960s and promotes peace across generations of people worldwide.
…
In addition to the new U.S. Global Music Ambassadors, the Department and YouTube will join efforts to enhance English language learning through music and across the YouTube platform. This new partnership will support opportunity and equity in the creative economy through in-country engagements with audiences and aspiring creators – beginning in Australia, Brazil, Canada, France, and India. It will offer micro-grants to State Department exchange program alumni around the world who use music as a means to expand access to education, economic opportunity and equity, and inclusion. And it will raise even greater awareness and inspire action globally around the unifying power of music, during global moments, such as the G20 meetings in Brazil later this year.

As practically everyone on planet Earth must now know, Donald Trump has become the first former US president to be convicted of felonies after leaving office. The response to the outcome of the trial from Democrats and Republicans has been predictably binary. Democrats have been reveling in the outcome and seem to think that the trial’s conclusion has delivered a final blow to Trump’s credibility and, in turn, his chances of winning the upcoming election. Trump’s supporters, on the other hand, are largely condemning the trial as politically motivated “lawfare” waged by the “radical left” in order to derail Trump’s chances of winning the upcoming election, which might end up galvanizing his base.
I can’t stand Trump, but this is why I don’t post about the criminal charges against him. I’d rather see him, and the rest of them, charged for war crimes! Furthermore, I can understand why his supporters, and even foreigners, see it as lawfare.
