Dear Friends:
The previous week
ended with the news of the U.S. air-strike against the Syrian base as answer
for the chemical bombing attack that killed innocent people in a small town of
this country.
Nobody expected that
President Trump would give the order to attack military installations of the
Syrian President Assad, one of the important allies of Russia.
The information
about the first military action of the new White House came when the Chinese
President Xi was arriving to Mar-a-Lago for a meeting with Donald Trump.
The air-strike
against the Syrians marked a big change in the foreign politics of the United States, after years of a weak attitude against the
enemy.
With this new frame,
U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson traveled to Moscow carrying a burning diplomatic luggage.
Some readers of
Twitter who mock the Trump government initiatives said that maybe Mr. Tillerson
was traveling with a series of gifts for Vladimir Putin and his Russian
friends.
But, the Secretary
of State went to Moscow with flaming papers about the Syrian chemical attack and complaints
for the possible complicity of Russia. Did
Putin know that Assad maintained chemical weapons hidden after the 2013 attack?
Before the trip of
the U.S Secretary of State, President Putin said that he was not planning to
receive to his old friend Rex Tillerson.
After a long
anteroom, Tillerson talked with Putin face-to-face. This meeting took place
after a thorny discussion between the Secretary of State and the Russian
Foreign Minister.
We really don’t know
what happened in the meeting between Vladimir Putin and the American Secretary
of State. The comments of Rex Tillerson after the face-to-face conversation
didn’t look well. He said that the relationships between U.S. and Russia are again in very bad shape.
Independently of the
bad moment, the fact is the Russian President received an important alert from
the new White House administration.
According to the
comments that come from Moscow, the American attack to the Syrians has damaged the Trump-Putin
“bromance”. (A “bromance” is a close but not sexual relationship between two
men. (Collins English Dictionary)
Till now, nobody
knows what kind of ideas are laboring in the brain of Vladimir Putin, neither
what are the truly feelings of the iron heart of the Russian leader.
Meanwhile, in U.S., the analysts are rethinking the apparent
mendacious attitude of President Obama after the chemical attack of 2013. Obama
promised that the United States would work for the monitoring of the total
destruction of the Syrian chemical weapons, but what really happened?
Silence!!!
In other order, in
the last few days, we have learned that President Trump is involved in a new
“bromance”, in this case with the Chinese President Xi. Mr. Trump believes that
Mr. Xi will help him to fix the crisis with North Korea. Will President Xi help President Trump? We
don’t know…

(Secretary of State
Rex Tillerson expressed big concert after his meeting with President Putin.)
The reaction of
President Trump bombing a Syrian base shook Moscow in the middle of the courtship of Putin to
the new White House. We cannot expect friendly attitude in the Kremlin now.

(This story says
that the tensions between China and U.S. are turning to a friendship after the
meeting between Donald Trump and the Chinese President Xi.)
President Trump
thinks like the businessmen: nobody is my enemy is I can deal with him in my
benefit.

(The case of the
passenger who was dragged from an airplane of United is growing serious
complaints about the abusive attitude of the airlines overbooking tickets.)
The answer of the
CEO Oscar Munoz doesn't end the incidents forever. And he is co-responsible of
who conducted the dragging of the passenger.
The airline companies
have to review the overbooking policies and give a better service to the
passengers.

Price of Obama’s Mendacity
(This story reminds
us the promise of President Obama after the Syrian chemical attack of 2013,
when Obama said that U.S. would force the Assad regime to destroy the
chemical weapons.)
It is sad to
recognize that the fear to confront the enemy pushed this mendacious attitude.

The French have to
put their feet in the ground instead of going from the far-right to the
far-left and vice versa.
A far-left candidate
is the same danger like a far-right candidate. Jean-Luc Mélenchon is not the
right option against Marine Le Pen.

The comment of the

The people have
fears about French election. The panorama doesn't look clear.
According to the

prestige for personal serious mistakes.

It is positive that
Angela Merkel supports the Donald Trump initiative about the Syria chemical attack. But German Chancellor has
to help to put Mr. Putin around a common table on UN.
