Dear Friends:
2017 doesn’t look
like a normal year for the Americans and the world. The first weeks of January
were very intensive and the stress continues.
First at all, the
transition of federal government from Barack Obama to Donald Trump is walking
through a complicated process.
In the background,
the Russian hackers, President Putin declarations, the Chinese military
challenges and some scenes of massive killing complete a gloomy panorama.
Important: Some of the next WSJ comments were rewritten
according to the summary of news.

Everybody who loves America has to agree that "Gen. Mattis is that

Gen. James Mattis will have a very difficult mission in the new White House
administration. We have to hope Donald Trump doesn’t crash against him.

After all his lobby,
now Mr.Giuliani is happy because he has a job in the new government.
Before, he applied

cyber-security. Something is better than nothing.

Why President Obama
wants to remain in Washington? Is he looking for a third term or a possible Michelle campaign?
(Surely, his

Trump administration...)

Surely, in the
current moment, the U.S. blockade of the Chinese-built islands will
trigger a military confrontation.
This aggressive attitude
from China seems consequence of the weak American foreign relationships of the
last few years.

Cold War II: While
President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton made a series of very
negative decisions across Middle East,
President Putin gained ground in the same region and took Crimea.
The Russian hacking
of the U.S. presidential election was only one step in a large series of incidents
that started after Hillary Clinton attacked Mr. Putin in the last Russian
elections.
Vladimir Putin won
the war against President Obama pushing the United States to its worst diplomatic defeat in decades.

From the first
moment, President Obama underestimated the skill and experience of the former
KGB agent Putin in intelligence services.
Vladimir Putin was
Secretary of the Security Council and Director of the Federal Security Service
during the government of Russian President Boris Yeltsin.
Before, he worked in
East
Germany for the KGB during a long period.
Mr. Putin is an
expert in espionage issues.
What is the Obama
experience in secret services and espionage? Null experience!

We have to remember
that Iran has also its own terrorist organization acting in Latin America since long time ago.
To remember: the bombing attacks to AMIA and Israel
Embassy in Bs.As and the killing the Argentine prosecutor researching the AMIA
case.
Some western
