The one who rules like the mother lasts long.
Consequences of acting in Donald Trump's usual egocentric, "I make the rules," way can be quite dangerous for all of us.
Trump's election means that you have a US government that will no longer do one thing and say another.
Most of the time, teachers who talk about the Middle East do not know the history, culture or present context of the problems they are discussing. So they go to the media, which quote government or academic "experts" (who often are no such thing) or journalists who, by virtue of working for the media, are supposed to know what they are talking about. In the end they know little or nothing beyond a standard line that reflects the perceptions of the US government and its special-interest supporters. That is what the students get. Indeed, that is what we all get.
If the Americans do move the embassy to Jerusalem, and eventually the rest of the world follows suit, it will mark the end of Palestinian hopes for a two-state solution.
My guess is that Trump will begin withdrawing troops from Europe at a slow pace. He will demand a renovation of the Iran Accord and get nowhere with this. There might be more US sanctions on Iran. However, the Iranians will not compromise with Trump, and barring a naval confrontation in the Persian Gulf, it will be US businesses that will suffer and Trump's frustration level that will go up.
If Donald Trump shows signs of backing out of Europe, the Russians might be willing to stay out of his confrontation with Iran. If he follows Obama's program in Europe, things might be different.
I think the feelings in my music were suggested to me before I even had the ability to play music.
Fiction is a potent agent for good--in the hands of the good.
Friends die in war. It is easier to remember this before the war than after.
I enjoyed working with everyone on the cast [of the Ghost Team]. We knew we were making a pretty weird movie.
