Now back to the plan: Last week, I have participated in a discussion circle under Chatham House Rule. Therefore, I can refer to the content of the discussion, but not attribute them. The only point to mention is that there were many experts on the USA, its economic and political power. And the main topic of the discussion circled around the question, whether or not the Tresidential entourage does have a plan or an objective, which they want to achieve with their current strategy. The answer was yes, but not only one but many plans from different groups (Neocons, Evangelicals, Trade warriors, WASPs) behind the deal maker himself. The only problem: these plans are not coordinated and not compatible with each other. And statements by the First Tenant do always depend on the latest guest with his or her plan.

 

Though, one aspect might be the common goal for all plans: The current man in the egg like office and his team in Washington want some of their “money back” for all the services and security, the current US administration thinks that it has provided to the western world. Well, this is a risky strategy – as you could read from the volatility bond markets reaction to US Treasuries and other announcements. If investors would lose their trust in the Greenback, the end would be near, if no one would want to invest in US Treasuries anymore. Then, you would not get some money back, but lose much of it. No serious persons would want to think that through. But in a fiction story the First Tenant could then easily end up on that island not in the sun off the Californian coast line. If the real Pope would come and visit him there in order to take confession for his sins is yet another question. But the scenery would play well in a thriller...
