Pres Trump Gets Phase 1 of Containing the Ukraine Conflict Signed

President Trump has accomplished getting Ukraine and Russia to agree to terms that reduce the scale of the war somewhat. It is called a partial cease fire. That is comparable to a partial silence; an oxymoron yet meaningful in comparison to a reduction of noise level from a higher level.

Ukraine and Russia agree to keep their ships in neutral corners east and west of the Black Sea although Russia will have access to the Mediterranean via the middle and southern parts of that body of water through Turkey. Russia needs merchant ship access to the world to trade food commodities since the U.S.A. is lifting several sanctions on Russian agriculture and food related trade. Ukraine agreed not to use ships to bring weapons to Odessa and the south shore of Ukraine.

Each side won't attack energy facilities for thirty days, although since Russia began its cease fire on Ukraine energy sites a few days earlier the 30 days for each art occur on a slightly different schedule/

This is all good news. Maybe hungry Africans will get some food relief and American farmers may have better export markets indirectly lowering the cost of bread in the U.S.A. if farmers won't under-plant worried about poor export markets for surplus grain (a theory of mine).

Make America Competitive Again with High Speed Rail Coverage of Western Hemisphere

 China's Belt and Road initiative is developing rail service all over Central Asia among other developments in order to provide direct access routes for trade from Iran to Pakistan, Afghanistan, Russia, Holland and many, many more locations. China's economy will have raw materials including oil that can travel by land rather than by sea. The U.S.A. has no comparable rail network linking Alaska, Canada and South America directly with high speed rail for passengers and freight.

The Chinese economy already is the largest in the world and has the most international trade. To make America competitive in the future, much less great, the entire Western Hemisphere continental land masses need to be brought into a unified high speed rail transportation system, possibly using electro-magnetic powered lines above and below ground (for instance tunneling under the Panama canal).

Presently the United States cannot get even a basic high speed rail line built between Los Angeles and California. President Trump has cut back funding of fast land transportation ventures supported by government; failing to unify North and South America in a very fast high speed land rail system probably will harm the U.S. economy down the road. If water is the best way between several regions of North and South America then it is just as practical to send trade to Europe and China by water.

Rambo could drive a burning arrow through a bullet hole through and through his gut to cauterize it without suffering; he enjoyed being tough. Others emulate that (until it hurts). As a sign in an employers place read; "The beatings will stop when morale improves".
