#music #rihanna - 4 April 2025 - Happy birthday webmaster John Nichols
4 April 2025
It is with great regret at 89 today I must stop publishing but with the current political scene in the world today with 2 "wannabe" dictators #Trump #netanyahu & the dictator #putin and the atrocities (war crimes) happening in both the #ukraine #Israel / #Gaza and elsewhere in the world this will be my last post.
Just publishing this news is depressing but you can follow news here
When I was in Korea in 1955 I was in the United Nation forces stationed opposite Gloucester Hill with the British Royal Signals (video of attack 4 years earlier)
Why are they not keeping the peace in Ukraine
I need to return to enjoying my music for which I am told I have a good ear for noticing music
picking the Rolling Stones; Eric Clapton´s first records for being famous + many more and
Rihanna´s first CD c2007/2008 when I was diagnosed with cancer. About that time a lady from UA dreams Donetsk (UA Dreams) wrote to me and we corresponded for about 18 months before she moved to Germany. I warned her then about the Russians when they invaded Georgia
Too much hot air throughout the world and not enough action

United Nations Forces, comprised of United Kingdom, Belgium, Luxembourg, Philippines and South Korea troops in the vicinity of the Imjin River fell under direct attack when the Chinese Spring Offensive commenced on 22 April 1951.
The 29th British Independent Infantry Brigade Group, commanded by Brigadier Tom Brody, was under the most severe attack and was eventually surrounded by the enemy. An attempt to reinforce them failed due to harsh terrain and overwhelming enemy power.
The 1st Battalion, Gloucestershire Regiment, commanded by Lieutenant Colonel James Carne, bravely held out for more than three days against more than 30,000 Chinese troops. Of the 700 Gloucesters, only 40 men reached safety, the rest were captured or killed by the Chinese. Lt. Col. Carne was held at a Chinese POW Camp in North Korea till after the armistice agreement was signed. He spent 19 months in solitary confinement, and many of his men died due to harsh treatment at the camp.
The British 29th Brigade's brave stand provided UN Forces enough time to re-group and block the Chinese advance onto Seoul, but not without sacrifice, they suffered 1,091 casualties, including 622 of Glosters. The US lost 1,500 men either killed or missing in action, the South Koreans 8,000 and the other UN forces approximately 1,000 men. Chinese casualties were estimated at 70,000.

#Putin #Trump #Ukraine - Europe prepares for ‘imminent war’ with Putin as Trump deemed unreliable | Robert Fox: Times Radio
21 March 2025
“We are in an imminent, if not actual, state of war.” Keir Starmer has realised that Europe must step up to combat “Trump’s unpredictability” as the Ukraine-Russia war escalates, says The London Standard’s Robert Fox.
Article 5, the cornerstone of NATO's collective defense, says that an attack on one member is considered an attack on all. It has only been invoked once, after the 9/11 terrorist attacks in New York.
"Extending NATO's Article 5 to Ukraine seems to be the simplest and most effective proposal of all, also because it would help call a possible bluff," Meloni said.

#USA #finance #investment - 'Clear Possibility' that US Becomes Un-Investable under Trump: Peter Atwater: Bloomberg
20 March 2025
Financial Insyghts President Peter Atwater talks how investors should approach the volatility of policy changes in the Trump administration.
President Donald Trump said the Federal Reserve should cut interest rates, splitting with the US central bank as officials weigh the economic cost of his tariff push.
“The Fed would be MUCH better off CUTTING RATES as U.S.Tariffs start to transition (ease!) their way into the economy,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social. “Do the right thing. April 2nd is Liberation Day in America!!!”
Trump’s post Wednesday evening comes as his administration prepares to unveil a fresh wave of tariffs, which Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell signaled was hanging over forecasts.
Fed officials held their benchmark interest rate steady on Wednesday for a second straight meeting, as expected by economists. Powell downplayed simmering concerns about a slowdown but acknowledged tariff uncertainty was a factor and already contributing to goods inflation, but may prove transitory. Trump’s administration is preparing to announce a fresh wave of tariffs on April 2, though the exact scope isn’t clear. Trump has promised so-called “reciprocal” tariffs on at least some nations, though his administration has not specified which ones or at what rate, and his key economic advisers have competing views on the best way to approach tariff policy.
The public push back on interest rates comes as the Trump White House tries to make its case for stiffer tariffs amid a mixed economic picture in the US. Inflation has not abated as much as American consumers would like. High interest rates are squeezing the housing market, and economists now see economic growth slowing in the upcoming months.
Trump has sent repeated mixed messages on the Fed — at times calling for cuts and otherwise declining to intervene. Similarly, during the campaign, he vacillated on how independent he said the Fed should be from the White House.

In the Oval Office today, Donald Trump used “Palestinian” as a slur and said the highest-ranking Jewish elected official, Chuck Schumer, is “not Jewish.”
Those comments went unchallenged by the reporters in the room. MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell explains the problem with reporters learning not to be outraged by anything Trump says.
