Trump makes progress to coexistence.

 POSITIVE PROGRESS UKRAINE, IRAN, CHINA 

MIDEAST TOUR AND NORMALIZATION WITH SYRIA

This week has resulted in positive results on many fronts. Direct talks in Turkey between representatives of Ukraine and Russia, a possible step in the right direction. We can expect this to be a lengthy negotiation, but at least there is hope of ending this conflict within the year. The conflict is almost determined, but the details will be important for future peace in the region.

Progress on a trade deal with China, undoubtedly the toughest nut to crack in Trumps tariff negotiations. Also a warming of the political narrative in an effort to avoid confrontation with China.

It is way past time to demand an end to the trash talking by politicians and some members of the administration, this applies to every conflict, it is not productive and is in fact just juvenile behavior.

Trump's business dealings with the gulf countries is very important in establishing a framework for cooperation with the coming bipolar economic situation. A alternative economic system is going to happen, it does not have to be exclusive situation for either group, but can be a cooperative, respectful and continued economic interaction situation. There can be mutual prosperity without any side dominating.

A warming of relations with Russia and China will have a positive influence on negotiations with Iran. No one will gain with a war with Iran, it is in the worlds best interest if some sort of normalization with Iran can be made. Iran has the opportunity to move into a better place in the world political system, a certain amount of trust needs to acquired by all those involved. Iran has an opportunity for a prosperous future, hopefully they take that opportunity.

A step to normalize relations with Syria and hopefully bring some peace to this devastated country.  It is in the best interest for everyone in the region to have a prosperous and safe Syria for the population. It is just a hopeful beginning, but it will take some time to see if this can be accomplished.

This week we did see a step back from a possible WW3, just a step, but we can hope it will continue.
