Dotard Trump and Fatty Kim are both idiots. Both feel threatened by each other, and thus escalate threats against each other. The solution to this unacceptably dangerous scenario is incredibly simple : Trump can make a simple offer to Kim : USA wants to be friends with North Korea, on condition that North Korea reciprocates in kind, an offer that Kim would 1000% not be able to resist accepting. Because right now, Kim is fully expecting Trump to fire nuclear missiles into North Korea which is why Kim is fully prepared to do likewise, so such an offer would be a godsend to Kim.

And the arms race spirals further out of control. Now that Japan is buying many billions of dollars of military weapons from USA, all the countries that still hate Japan from WW2, ie. China, North Korea and South Korea (in particular, will demand the US also sell them everything they're selling Japan, and greedy Trump will be more than happy to do so), are all going to be upset and accelerating their own military upgrades and acquisitions.

六扇门 is an excellent China drama, because it's incredibly realistic : 9 out of 10 characters are all bad guys (putting it politely), with bad guys plotting against bad guys plotting against bad guys plotting against bad guys.

A note regarding Korean dramas, moreso than China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan, or (smirk) especially Singapore TV dramas, 9 out of 10 Korean dramas involve the hapless and helpless man-in-street hero, struggling against a conspiracy of overwhelming evil and invariably corrupt powers that be, usually a combination gang of powerful politicians, police chiefs, heads of government and/or judiciary, CEOs, billionaires, etc. And of course, what makes these Korean dramas particularly similarly entertaining, is that the bad guys (6 out of 10 characters) are all plotting against each other as well.

Gone are the days of oversimplistic good main character vs evil main character. This is a good development for Dramas, because it that much more accurately represents real-life. Welcome to physical incarnation!

Everyone is writing furiously and trying to understand how a young upstart is able to overturn 80 years of established political and social norms with impunity.

The resignation of Hariri is very significant as he is a dual citizen (Lebanese and Saudi, which was granted to his father by King Fahd) and he was summoned to KSA twice in that week. Of special signifiance is his resignation speech was unusual in terminology and harsh criticism of Iran and Hezbollah so much that Michael Aouan the current President (closely aligned to Hezbollah politically) and Nasrallah have both refused to accept the resignation. For all intents and purposes, he is also currently detained in KSA.

So what is the play here - suspicions are high that KSA have failed in various schemes including Syria (where the opposition want to give up but KSA is refusing to let them) so by creating instability in Lebanon and threatening the hold of Hezbollah, create the proxy confrontation which they won't directly confront Iran. There is also suspicion that they are trying to draw Israel into a confrontation with Hezbollah and Iran by default. It seems that MBS has a vision of the ME that exists under the stewardship of his 50plus year rule without the Iranians. And this may be just the first act of the continuing tragedy of that region (of course generously assisted with American and British arms).

The Houthi missiles are very likely to have been a bad coincidence.

Muqtada al-Sadr, the leader of the Sadrist movement in Iraq also visited KSA in August and met with MBS - that was also a surprising move and the consequences of that have yet to appear to the surface.

Kenneth Jeyaretnam : "LTK backstabbed JBJ and kicked him out of WP for his own selfish reasons, and in doing so pleased LKY so much he pretty much left LTK alone. WP serves the PAP, and now that they're being sued, and end up being bankrupted and losing their seats in parliament, like what happened to JBJ, this will be poetic justice. And the PAP will claim that they have nothing to do with it.”

"The question is whether the arrested princes were truly corrupt, in the sense that they were ripping off the state when the state could no longer afford it, or merely victims of Prince Mohammed's political manoeuvrings as he lunges for power."

Well here's the thing, see. At that level of power and wealth, they're *all* corrupt, in some form or another. The only difference is, these guys (ie. the ones who got arrested, including the dozens of other Royal Princes and Ministers) all got in the way of the Crown Prince's political ambitions in some way or another. And the Crown Prince isn't one to tolerate potential threats of any kind, real or imagined, significant or insignificant. So that's that.

Khaw : SMRT Solely to Blame for Tunnel Flooding, No Lapses or Shortcomings by LTA and Transport Ministry

“The CEO is Responsible” : Khaw Throws SMRT Chief Desmond Kuek under the Bus

Transport Minister Khaw Boon Wan saved a part of his speech in parliament today to throw SMRT CEO Desmond Kuek under the bus. Making reference to Kuek’s speech where he blamed “deep-seated cultural issues” for SMRT’s persistent problems, Mr Khaw said he held Kuek responsible.

“It is the responsibility of management to set the right culture, professionalism, and excellence. It begins from the top and if there is poor work culture, the CEO is responsible – you set the corporate culture.”
