Canada’s new strategic partnership stance toward China is reminiscent of an old Vietnamese proverb: “The emperor who is far away is better than the emperor who lives next door.”

Trump’s oil embargo was meant to isolate Russia. Instead, it’s handing China the keys to a new world order.

What do you think when you see this hand sign? Live long and prosper? Well this is a headstone in the Jewish cemetery in Frankfurt maybe 400 years old. It’s the sign of the kohanim priestly blessing, which Leonard Nimoy is said to have remembered from his childhood, and which he adopted for Spock.

If you haven’t seen it, this footage from @apnews.com is incredibly important.
The intent here seems unmistakable, in two ways: (1) just read the genocide convention, here it **absolutely** is, and (2) this level of infrastructural destruction is, no question, meant as pre-development demolition.
