Post Reply - WAR

   DJ, "the west" for years tried to downplay, ignore BRICS+..."Russia is isolated", "Iran is isolated"...
In my view "the west"is US-Canada and (western) Europe...about 10% of the global population. Japan, South Korea, Australia -by location-are in a different position. 

"trumpf" started a global revolution...Canada could seek closer ties with the EU, the EU will talk with China...The "west" did break up...

I hope to be correct here; Diplomacy will limit the India-Pakistan very serious crisis. Containing the fire is step 1, taking away the fuel is step 2...

Both India and Pakistan have to distance themselves from the US (and UK ?). Put national/regional interests on top-and war is NOT in the interest of both !!!
