Blair On Global Politics

'The actual underlying problem is a feeling—in a world in which power is shifting east—that maybe the relationship doesn’t matter any more. My answer is that it matters even more. If America is going to be dealing with China, India, Brazil, Indonesia, these emerging—or emerged—powers that are going to change the way we look at politics, it’s even more important that the Europeans and the Americans stick together.'
Britain and America against the world eh, Tone? That should be a good platform for a few years of high-profile and profitable speaking engagements in Florida or New York. By the way you forgot to include Israel in the bunker. Not like you to forget them.

  1. The Neocons are still preaching their 'Clash of Civilizations'. They are still buying time to feed the MIC beast.

    By further encroaching on their territory, we are only asking for trouble. The West has nothing to add to the emerging markets.
    On the contrary the emerging markets are the ones that have kept the West afloat.
    The toilet is being flushed.
    Swooooosh.

    The servicer called me yesterday. Wanted to know why I did not make the payment. lol
    As you know we have a retail clothing store on Main St. in a lower price point area.
    Our economy is much worst than anything that MSM is saying.
    Fasten your seat belts my friend.
