I live in a senior residence; but it's my soup kitchen I go to weekly for a half hour class in Yoga. I found in the 2 months I've been in class that my thinking is clearer and my limbs more relaxed and less arthritic (I believe).
Anyway, I've suggested to the program director here at the residence that our entire "family" could benefit from the Yoga regimen.

Whack-O Theory-2 of 2/28/20: What would have happened in 1989 if the US had encouraged Russian satellites to go independent?
What a Whack-O idea! That any of the Russian satellites would dare to subvert the Russian Empire of the USSR by declaring themselves--each of them--to be solely an independent sovereign nation!
Why, it might cause the Empire to disintegrate!
And, that the US might encourage the satellites to pursue such an emboldened idea--as, for instance, by wanting these satellites to study the US' own Declaration of Independence--might lead to war between the US and the USSR! Thank God, it never entered any of these enslaved nation's plan for independence to declare themselves free like the US did from England in 1776!
Please remember, a Whack-O Theory is just something conjured up for one's own, personal imagining!

Whack-O Theory-1 of 2/28/20: What would happen if the US invoked the Monroe Doctrine against Russia, today?
You might think that President Kennedy invoked it against Russia during the Cuban Missile Crisis. I happen to believe that was in the back of his mind at the time he told them to get the Missiles out of there!
Well, the entire continent of Africa has united by forming its organization of the African Union to patrol virtually its landed bounders. I would call that organization successful particularly in the peace accord that has been imposed on the Sudan and environs, recently.
But I want to imagine that the entire continent of the Americas had such an organization to embolden the OAS to patrol our continental shores for infractions to the Monroe Doctrine, enunciated by President Monroe in the early Nineteenth Century.
Would then Russia virtually have taken over the government of Venezuela to enable it to plunder that country's natural resources as it would deem fit? Indeed would it think itself invited by its cozying up to beleaguered governments to "rescue" them such as Syria in Asia Minor and of course here on our continent, the nation of Venezuela? We are witnessing a Putin who is enamored with the period of the Czars--so much so as to wish his dictatorship to extend the world over, as was tried by former Russian dictators in a heyday just after WWII onto the African continent.
The immense emigration of peoples living there prior to Russia's assistance in both these countries proves that Russia's interference has been detrimental to their own individual independence and their quest for the well-being of their people. For in each case, their citizenry are driven to run for their lives.

New news update sources: Russia is reaping a bonanza of cash from sale of Venezuelan minerals!
Georgia and I guess the United States are the first victims of new aggressive hacking and subversive activities as a result of the close ties Russia had cemented to restructure the Venezuelan government, I am led to believe.
Anyway, I'm grateful to be involved in some perennial problems on the international scene. I am trying my best to earn the faith I have recently received in me and the operations I've committed myself to on behalf of the United States and indeed, the world; and believe I have some resources to tap that will mean something positive toward their solutions!

The Two Wonderful Brothers, Mark and Sam, whom I knew so many years ago.
Just wanted you guys to know that those were good times years ago. I still remember! There was love among us all, too. It might be that we could surface our reflections of what will remain deep down in us, in our very core of who we are and shall be.
I'm living in DC now on the East Coast. Please keep me in your thoughts with kindness and tenderness. In the area? Look me up. You'd be doing me a genuine act of thoughtfulness.

President Trump's Foreign Policy in a Post-Aquittal Era: "It's all a democratic hoax!"
I think few of us will forget how the Secretary of the Army railed against China in hostile terms during his talk in a recent event at the Brookings Institution. Slowly, the Trump administration is building an Iron Curtain around China, much like what it is doing around Iran. Not Russia but China and Iran are the bogey-men on the other side.
This despite China's acceptance throughout Africa to build infrastructure, train and establish cordial relations with its governments; and a memo of understanding drawn up by China with Italy that it--China--will become a distributor of EU products in Africa. Despite the US tariffs, China's trade has been expanded significantly. But US investors aren't allowed to invest in Venezuelan oil because of the US sanctions currently in place against Venezuela.
So, in the first 3 years of Trump's Presidency, Russia has netted two new colonies: Venezuela and Syria added to the one Cuba it had before Trump; and Trump has found a straw-man to say to business here at home, "See what you get for taking your factories abroad? Someone, who'll steal your innovations!" As if business isn't aware that innovation attracts copycats!

Washington Post: Trump Administration telling business where to make investments; and where not to
In Friday's edition of the Washington Post, February 7, 2020 the Post reveals that The Trump Administration is telling investors where to put their money abroad: don't invest in China's Huawei, that is developing its 5G wireless, but consider Sweden's Ericsson and Finland's Nokia. This must be the outcome of Trump's poor dealing with China over trade tariffs and his lackluster trade agreements. The animosity Trump reveals to the Chinese over commerce and his kowtowing to Putin, even to the point of overlooking how Putin is virtually taking over the Venezuelan economy, especially, the secret sales worldwide of its oil, to enrich the coffers of Moscow, is a scandalous favoritism of one communist, Putin, over an avowed other communist ruler, Xi.
Moreover, Barr has erected another Berlin-wall, spurred by competition between the US and China in taking global share in the technological trade market. It fashions Beijing as a bogey-man out to take over the world. Surely, the Trump people could be more imaginative. There is no Cold War, despite the endeavors of this Administration to create one out of their own ignorance of global affairs and their attempts to fashion myths to cover up their own blunders in foreign policy directives.
The impression that President Trump gives cannot be glossed over when he consistently supports or glosses over Russia's gains in controlling Venezuela and affecting political elections, perhaps even in the US: he is pro-Russian, as Nancy Pelosi thinks.

The President's solution to the Mideast conflict must be considered an outrage to people of reason!
The one thing the Palestinians have is a beautiful coast land, which the Israelis want to start knawing away from them.
Outrageous that the Palestinians have been left out from providing input in another proposal of a giveaway from President Trump, as if he has it to continue to benefit a government headed by someone in trouble with the judiciary.

US doctors offer assistance to China in virus epidemic there!
This is what the US offers to the world: its expertise and knowledge and wherewithal.
I am hopeful our doctors can be of help to their Chinese counterparts; and grateful for the US offer.
P.S. This is what our military do worldwide today with tremendous results.
