The cunning of history : TWO megalomaniac handshakes inspire a great commotion for world peace ?

The printed edition of The Providence Journal this morning screams " A MOMENTOUS FIRST STEP ". Up to now this main newspaper of Rhode Island - once solidly Rockefeller Republican, now with a neo-con Democrat VOICE - has been singing in tune with actor Robert Dinero on the villain in the White House , the pretender to Hillary Clinton's throne- Donald Trump.

              Going from cursing to fawning is a characteristic of a " gathering darkness " fascist political atmosphere. And then there are hypocritical complaints from Democrats like Rep. Elijah E. Cummings about THIS " imperial presidency " . Yes , what WE need is more " democracy " in setting foreign policy ! But what best fits U.S. IMPERIALISM ?

              But other not so controllable forces beside U.S. imperialist intrigue are at work here : like the tremendous longing for the Korean people for unification of the two artificial nation states. Recall WEST Germany and EAST Germany for so many decades.

          What if the megalomaniac handshaking of two BULLY leaders , Donald Trump and Kim Jung Un , inspires an explosion of HOPE for world peace ? The cunning of history .
