Armada ......still incomplete to shoot down ballistic missiles
【Trump ‘Armada’ Sent to Deter Kim Can’t Shoot Down His Missiles - Bloomberg】 | https://www.bloomberg.com/politics/articles/2017-04-26/trump-s-armada-sent-to-deter-kim-can-t-knock-down-his-missiles?cmpid=BBD042617_MKT&utm_medium=email&utm_source=newsletter&utm_term=170426&utm_campaign=markets
What are the real objective of Donald Trump to announce the deployment of his armada to the Korean Peninsula when the navy has not gave any orders to the aircraft carrier Vinson strike group to actually move to the Korean Peninsula and even the Carl Vinson strike group does not have the missile to shoot down any ballistic missiles launch from the North Korean side without others ships based in Japan. The US navy need to send others to be a real deterrent to prevent any ballistic missiles launch from North Korea.Until the North Korean see real capacity to stop them they will continue to view this as a bluff by Donald Trump and weaken any credibility of US in future negotiations.
Tuesday, April 25, 2017
Finally it's the armada
This week the US navy has confirmed that USS Carl Vinson battle group and guided missile submarine has in fact arrived at the sea off the Korean Peninsula. Now everyone waits for another tweet from President Trump to know what he intends to do to get North Korea to end it's nuclear and missile ambition. Or will he surprise everyone with no tweet or press conference until after he has committed US forces to end North Korea regime?

North Korea Armageddon
【Will China stand aside if North Korea wants to talk to Trump? | South China Morning Post】 | http://m.scmp.com/week-asia/geopolitics/article/2087724/will-china-stand-aside-if-north-korea-wants-talk-trump?utm_source=biweekly121_20170421&utm_medium=edm&utm_campaign=scmp_focus&emarsys=1≻_src=email_1879553≻_llid=142108≻_lid=142770325≻_uid=YXi8ijdlzd&utm_source=emarsys&utm_medium=email
When Donald Trump announced that the US is sending a great armada to the Korean Peninsula it seems likely it was an attempt to rattle the North Korean rather than a serious order to prepare for an attack against its nuclear and missile facilities after the US carrier Carl Vinson was spotted heading to Australia in the other direction. Then there was maybe US submarine heading to the Korean Peninsula. All the talk of war turned out to be empty at the time with no military assets sent until after criticism from many analyst that this has confused US allies whether US has credibility to do what Donald Trump says about North Korea. Now the US navy has announced that the Carl Vinson battle group is in fact heading to the Korean Peninsula after all. Whether it was purposely done to rattle Kim Jong Un or a misguided announcements by Donald Trump for TV remains unknown.

Will this failed missile test push Kim Jong Un to do a nuclear test to show his people that he has the ability to stand up against US president effort to pressure North Korea to abandon it's provocative nuclear and missile ambition? Most likely Kim Jong Un will respond with another major demonstration of his military capabilities after having it's missiles paraded the day before as a show of strength before this failed missile test. He would view this major embarrassment as unacceptable and must be wiped clean with something bigger and more provocative such as a nuclear test or intercontinental ballistic missile test.
What will US president do in response to any attempts by Kim Jong Un to show he can threaten the west coast of America?

Road to Armageddon in Asia
Just last week we have seen US bombed the Syrian airbase with 59 cruise missiles that US believed where chemical weapons were launched by the Assad regime against civilians in rebel held territory during the dinner hosted by Donald Trump for Chinese President Xi. Reports have since emerged that both presidents had long and informal talks about North Korea during those days. The Syrian bombing have demonstrated that Donald Trump is more than willing to use military forces to make a point. President Trump has ordered the US carrier Carl Vinson to the Korean Peninsula and other military assets in Pacific on standby while President Xi has ordered 150000 troops to the Korean border should indicate both presidents had joined in an effort to pressure North Korean ruler Kim Jong Un to abandon it's provocative nuclear and missile ambition. The subsequent use of the biggest bomb ever developed by the US against ISIS in Afghanistan put further message to North Korea that US can do much more damage than what the cruise missiles did to the Syrian airbase.
What options do US really have when dealing with North Korea ? We know US can only use its superior air power to strike at North Korean nuclear and missile facilities. Any follow up action in North Korea will definitely be in coordination with the Chinese government since nobody knows what will happen in North Korea after such attack. There may be a total collapse of the regime in Pyongyang or Kim Jong Un may survive to lashes out against its neighbours China Japan South Korea and to a lesser extent Russia with devastating results for the region and the rest of the world.
To execute any action against North Korea will risk major reprisals from Kim Jong Un unless his entire regime is killed and replaced with more moderate figures. Such possible person was his half brother Kim Jong Nam whose murder in Kuala Lumpur may have pushed his son who has since been in hiding under the protection of the Chinese government in China into the political struggle to take over the dynasty established by his great grandfather Kim Il Sung.
Now what is needed is the trigger from North Korea to set the world in collision with Armageddon in Asia.

Supreme Court Justice Gorsuch to keep conservative hold
After this Friday's confirmation of Justice Gorsuch to the Supreme Court there's no doubt the conservative right will move to change the law for decades to come as they will greatly influenced civil rights decisions when conservative groups start to put forward their plans with more appeals to turn major decisions to their favour.
No longer will be the decisions giving much civil rights to the minorities and womens be taken for granted when conservative groups try to take their causes to the Supreme Court knowing they have a good chance to reshape much of society.

Saviour or Destroyer ?
Everyday we see and hear from the Trump administration that they are here to save America from the failed policy of Obama presidency. They accuses the former president having ordered wiretapping on the Trump Tower and recently accuses his officials of leaking intel. When many in the mainstream media reports denials by many former and current officials it's back to the pro Trump media people to go into overdrive and continue to bash the previous administration.
Whether this war with the past president or the mainstream media is a planned strategy to control the news cycles or to divert attention from their failed efforts to repeal and replace Obamacare remains to be seen. What is happening everyday is we continue to hear Trump to crowd the news with more accusations with no or little evidence to back up his claims. The legislative agenda becomes a minor news and Democrats filibuster to block Supreme Court nominee is being accused as hypocrite even though the GOP clearly stated they won't even consider Obama's nominee to the Supreme Court last year.
Who is the saviour or the destroyer between two very different agendas for the future generations? What is the end game for the current president? Does he plan to surprise everyone with new accusations or push his agenda to pull back the policies of previous president whom he views as socialist to make America great again in his image? Or will he wreaked havoc with the lives of many in pursuit of his agenda?

The idea of Donald
Whenever we read something that Donald Trump says don't you wonder where does he get these thoughts and ideas ? Is it from his favourite tabloid or his life long experience dealing in his business from property developer to beauty pageants to golf course and to reality TV shows? Who has he met in his 70 years as a child growing up to working under his father before taking over.
What experiences shape his character and make him who we see today. How much can you understand from reading his books? Does he had a typical life most business people lives or its maybe just so exceptional so different that no other has the same. Are there others who has similar if not identical lives ? They just have not taken the plunge into government and politics.
How does those who voted for Donald see him in comparison to their own lives ? Is it similar to what he does and says or the exact opposite that attracts these voters?
Does those who works for him really knows what he is thinking? Even his own family knows what Donald thinks?

Brexit for Theresa May
With a hand written letter UK prime minister Theresa May made sure she will be remembered as the Brexit prime minister instead of David Cameron who actually started this road to Brexit with his offer to hold a referendum on UK's membership in EU during his election campaign. Signing the letter herself will sketch her name into a part of UK history books no matter how bad she handles the rest of the negotiations with her former friends in EU.
Being a politician Theresa May put herself alongside former prime minister Margaret Thatcher who brought UK into the EU over 40 years ago before Theresa May was even old enough to vote. Such is the skill of the politician that put her legacy before she even start the hard road ahead that could split more than one union if she can't convince Scotland and Northern Ireland to stay in United Kingdom

Next move from Donald
After that very great failure to repeal and replace Obamacare with his version of great healthcare that most including Congress budget office have said would essentially cut costs by cutting millions of Americans out of life saving healthcare Donald Trump have stumbled into the fight for tax reform that have eluded so many other presidents before him.
While he has declared again he will enact great tax reform to make America great again, it's more likely that big business will benefit more than the average working person. The philosophy behind any tax cuts would be to encourage more private investment and consumption to increase growth and job creation across industries.How much that will work out is hard to predict consider the complexity of the current tax system.
How many of the votes can Trump get to play along his plans and who will he chooses to lead this difficult task ? Will he still rely on the GOP or change tack to woo some moderate Democrats to back his plans.

Economy and politics
More than 5 years ago I started this blog to try writing something that I would like to share and the world has moved on since especially in politics more than in our economy.
Donald J Trump has been elected President of the USA with so much controversy that makes me wonder if he can ' Make America Great Again'. Today his attempt to repeal and replace Obamacare with his version of healthcare law is knocked into coma as he couldn't get enough votes to deliver his first legislative baby in Congress. His earlier attempts through executive orders has created more uncertain for the future.
He has stated that he will move on to tax reform instead of trying to resuscitate his first baby shows he is aware that he could be losing momentum to spur USA out of it's Fed induced slow recovery. Unless he can get a big bang with his tax reform plans he could fall into a lame duck presidency in his first 60 days.
