Military adventurism: President Biden's process

Only America stands between global censure and Israel.  The Americans have continually voted against censure and other actions that will give Gaza hope of survival.  America is supporting the Gaza genocide!  That's an easy read.

The real problem is that any global intervention in Gaza would be an American intervention.  No other country has the troops or the equipment to take an active role in the conflict.  This is the reason the world is so rapid in condemning Israel, they know they will not suffer the consequences.   

After the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, America's political leaders have no appetite for any foreign entanglements.  Even if Biden detests Bibi Netanyahu, the only way to stay out of the fight is to stop the condemnation.  Of course, it will lead to genocide, but the reality is that no one has a good idea as to what to do with Gaza, more importantly, no one has cared about Gaza for the past 40 years.

Siding with the Palestinians for Europe is easy now, remembering just a little bit of history and forgetting the inconvenient bits.  After 1945, one country was against the establishment of Israel, America was against the creation of a Jewish state in Palestine because American diplomats knew that it would cause massive problems.  Clinton negotiated a peace agreement between Yasser Arafat and Yitzhak Rabin, from which the Palestinians walked away.  After that containment became the Israeli's defacto solution and the creation of Gaza.  The rest of the world forgot about Gaza for the next 30 years.

America will not be dragged into another Middle Eastern conflict, and they just don't care how the world perceives them.  Biden knows that whatever he does there he will be criticised by those who happily remain on the sidelines.  American might as well stay away.

Ok so I lied...a little (revised)

When we began looking at farming in 2013/14 as something we both wanted to do as a "second career" we invested time and money to understand what sector of farming was profitable.  A few things emerged, First, high-quality, source-proven, organic farm products consistently have much higher profit margins.  Secondly, transformation accounted for nearly 80% of total profits, and production and distribution accounted for 20% of profits: Farmers and retailers have low profit margins and the middle bits make all the money. A profitable farm operation needs to be involved in the transformation of its produce.  The low-hanging fruits: cheese and butter.  Milk, generates a profit margin of 5% to 8%, depending on milk quality.  Transformed into cheese and butter, and the profit margin rises to 40% (Taking into account all costs).  Second:  20% of a steer carcass is ground beef quality.  The price is low, because (a) a high percentage of the carcass, and (b)...

Spray painting Taylor Swift G650 aircraft (updated)

 First, a bit of paint will not harm anyone.  These climate activities are going to learn two things in the next few days:  (1) Trespassing at an airport is a felony almost anywhere in the world.  That means criminal prosecution.   (2) removing paint from an aircraft is expensive.   So these climate activists are about to find out the reach of the British criminal system and it will not be pleasant, the UK has very strict laws about that, I would be surprised if cleaning the aircraft of all the paint will cost less than $100,000.     I am sure that when they planned (premeditation) this little show they had a very valid logic to doing this.  Tonight, they are probably realizing the depth of their troubles.   I understand that in the UK it's a minimum one-year jail sentence.    Also, good luck travelling with a criminal trespass charge against you.  I am relatively certain that the airline industry will ...

Janet Yellen from China supporter to Hawk...

There is rarely serious news in the world these days, it seems that most newspapers are filled with headlines and little else, and then Ms Yellen went to China.  Secretary Yellen has long been known in the Biden administration as the voice of moderation when dealing with China, yet as her trip which concluded yesterday a hawk was born:  She warned the Chinese against dumping goods in the United States.    fighting words! The American administration is very concerned about the lack of Chinese domestic consumption.   Even before the COVID-19 epidemic, there were already the beginning signs of a slowdown, automobile sales were off.   China is facing domestic deflation (a clear sign of collapsing demand) China imports few consumer goods, they import raw materials and intermediary goods.   It seems that the American administration is concerned that the Chinese administration will dump consumer goods abroad to keep its manufacturing machinery ...
