Europe Paralized

European nations are sabotaging America's effort to open the Kharg Island toll to free navigation.  I think they fear that if they take part in the effort, Iran will boycott them. More probably, they fear being seen as colonizers and are afraid of their large, violent Arab minorities at home. President Trump calls them cowards. He may be right. 

What will be the fate of that block of 500 million Whitish people? Spain and France are openly anti-American; Germany, apparently, is busy preparing to fight Russia. Most surprising is England. It is led by a milketoast Human Rights activist, uninclined to foreign expeditions. They are still living the fantasy of colonialism, loving their enemy and hating themselves.

The world continues to change. More change, more opportunities (for my grandkids, not for me).

I worked in Nigeria a few years after independence, and I see the savagery now. English colonialism was a blessing.
