If they said anything at all, they failed that test. To solve refractory problems like these requires a rare coincidence: leaders on both sides have to WANT a solution, and they must have the political capital to negotiate a solution even against their own muscular internal opposition. The current leaders of India and Pakistan do not want a solution. The net result is that no third party can negotiate a solution for them. == topic foreign 1 ===== impact 55 impactrate 0 likeimpress 1 negative 0 posted 2019-03-07 priority 1 ratio 22 react 4 reactrate 0 shares 1 sharesrate 0 sumclicks 2 title No peace anywhere without peace in Kashmir. topic foreign wordrate 0 words 137 ID 818877748456746 URL https://www.facebook.com/politicalscrapbooknet/posts/818877748456746 audclicks 2 audreach 2 engaged 4 impress 165 likeclickusers 1 likeimpress 1 likeuimpress 39 likeusers 1 likeuusers 31 matchedotherclicks 2 oimpress 165 oreach 91 posted "03/07/2019 06:45:24 PM" postotherclicks 2 reach 91 sharesimpress 1 sharesusers 1 type Link ========== But now, God knows, anything goes. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/05/opinion/trump-netanyahu.html But you can't count on that, because tomorrow it might be the opposite. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/i-think-you-mean-that-too-trumps-aides-struggle-to-defend-explain-his-foreign-policy-statements/2019/03/05/b196149c-3ea1-11e9-9361-301ffb5bd5e6_story.html So lavish him with praise and a big photo-op and then you can probably do whatever you want. == topic foreign ===== hide 2 impact 28 impactrate 0 likeimpress 2 negative 2 posted 2019-03-06 ratio 5 react 7 reactrate 0 sharesrate 0 sumclicks 3 title But now, God knows, anything goes. topic foreign wordrate 0 words 40 ID 818257865185401 URL https://www.facebook.com/politicalscrapbooknet/posts/818257865185401 audclicks 3 audreach 3 engaged 5 hideclicks 2 hideclicksusers 2 impress 67 likeclickusers 5 likeimpress 2 likeuimpress 46 likeusers 2 likeuusers 35 matchedlinkclicks 1 matchedotherclicks 2 negclicks 2 negusers 2 oimpress 67 oreach 38 posted "03/06/2019 01:34:25 PM" postlinkclicks 1 postotherclicks 2 reach 38 type Link ========== "the greatest unacknowledged achievement during the Cold War" https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/03/opinion/nuclear-weapons-congress.html And now we have to rely on Congress? == topic foreign ===== impact 10 impactrate 0 likeimpress 2 negative 0 posted 2019-03-04 ratio 6 react 5 reactrate 0 shares 1 sharesrate 0 sumclicks 2 title "the greatest unacknowledged achievement during the topic foreign wordrate 0 words 19 ID 817078158636705 URL https://www.facebook.com/politicalscrapbooknet/posts/817078158636705 audclicks 2 audreach 2 engaged 2 impress 68 likeclickusers 2 likeimpress 2 likeuimpress 36 likeusers 2 likeuusers 27 matchedotherclicks 2 oimpress 68 oreach 34 posted "03/04/2019 07:17:55 AM" postotherclicks 2 reach 34 sharesimpress 1 sharesusers 1 type Link ========== The new edition of Art of the Deal - subtitled Getting Something for Nothing. https://www.cnbc.com/2019/03/03/us-south-korea-end-spring-military-drills-to-back-diplomacy.html No wonder the North Koreans were satisfied with the summit.

Taiwan is vastly more significant than the Falkland Islands, yet it's possible to imagine repeating the history of two governments talking themselves into corners that lead to war, to avoid falling to their domestic opposition. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/asia_pacific/xi-offers-promises-and-threats-as-he-calls-chinas-unification-with-taiwan-inevitable/2019/01/02/85ae5ece-0e82-11e9-92b8-6dd99e2d80e1_story.html The people of Hong Kong, Tibetans, and Uyghurs could all testify about how semi-autonomy works out in the PRC. It might have been better if Nixon had clearly enunciated that recognition of the PRC did not diminish Taiwan - which like the PRC and the USA established its current government by force of arms, but unlike the PRC, maintains its legitimacy by free contested elections and so has the same rights of self-determination as other sovereign nations. But that didn't happen. But the subsequent economic opening of China and its integration into the global economic infrastructure might be the best deterrent to a forceful confrontation. Xi probably senses a historic opportunity to resolve the Taiwan question once and for all on his terms, while the US is distracted by internal politics and an incompetent administration. == topic foreign ===== impact 18 impactrate 0 negative 0 posted 2019-01-02 ratio 22 react 1 reactrate 0 sharesrate 0 sumclicks 1 title The future of Taiwan decided by whom and how? topic foreign wordrate 0 words 182 ID 781026788908509 URL https://www.facebook.com/politicalscrapbooknet/posts/781026788908509 audclicks 1 audreach 1 engaged 1 impress 50 likeclickusers 1 likeuimpress 22 likeuusers 17 matchedlinkclicks 1 oimpress 50 oreach 22 posted "01/02/2019 07:42:43 AM" postlinkclicks 1 reach 22 type Link ========== Four pillars of American foreign policy going forward https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/america-first-is-only-making-the-world-worse-heres-a-better-approach/2019/01/01/1272367c-079f-11e9-88e3-989a3e456820_story.html == topic foreign ===== impact 10 impactrate 0 likeimpress 3 negative 0 posted 2019-01-01 ratio 5 react 9 reactrate 0 shares 1 sharesrate 0 sumclicks 5 title Four pillars of American foreign policy going forward topic foreign wordrate 0 words 11 ID 780666785611176 URL https://www.facebook.com/politicalscrapbooknet/posts/780666785611176 audclicks 5 audreach 4 engaged 5 impress 74 likeclickusers 5 likeimpress 3 likeuimpress 49 likeusers 3 likeuusers 35 matchedlinkclicks 1 matchedotherclicks 4 oimpress 74 oreach 46 posted "01/01/2019 04:35:50 PM" postlinkclicks 1 postotherclicks 3 reach 46 sharesimpress 1 sharesusers 1 type Link
