Yeah, I don't understand Pelosi at all; she doesn't set foreign policy and
did a huge amount of damage.
Here, for us, it's not just crisis fatigue; Azure and I are utterly
isolated in Providence, pretty much broken away from our families but also
still have no local friends except one who we see every couple of months.
The isolation is killing. I was going to put up a notice on Facebook,
DON'T DISCARD ME, but thought better of it :-) . I've started taking bits
of medication but don't want to go down that route...
At least I feel I'm able to make some sort of cultural contribution, if
only at a distance...
love to all, Alan -

Alan,
We're worried. I'm worried, anyway. I was talking to my brother about it
today. Let's hope it's all just sabre-rattling and it blows over, but that's
what we hoped about the Ukraine. The US can't afford to drive Russia and
China into each other's arms any more than is already the case, and this has
given China the opportunity to write a narrative about unwarranted US
interference, and a betrayal of the 'One China' policy... On the other hand
we're all suffering from crisis fatigue, Taiwan is a lot further away than
the Ukraine, and of course there are a lot of people who just never pay any
attention to international news at all... I think on the whole the reaction
is 'Oh Christ, here's another thing to worry about; what does that bloody
idiot Nancy Pelosi think she's achieving?; let's hope it doesn't all kick
off'.

Thanks for this. On a related issue, how are people in England responding
to the uptick in China/Taiwan tension? From here, the world often appears
heading towards Armageddon with no recourse...

Alan,
I especially like this bit:
my final message: WRITE IN STONE: YOU MAY HAVE A CHANCE. I am taking
Measure of this Discussion. I will send in a Report. It will be
specific,
especially in the absence of currency. It is there I am coming towards
you
in the fog, almost the thickness of thumbs.
The 'coming towards you in the fog' is very Samuel Beckett-like.
Edward
