der als Engländer Trump und Johnson bewundert, Biden für korrupt und senil hält und die Demokraten in USA für linke Spinner und einen No Deal Brexit befürwortet.
OK, ein Intellektueller ist er nicht und dazu noch ein Bänker und Börsenmakler aber ich kenne ihn schon seit 60 Jahren, als er noch unschuldig dieser Vergehen war. Soll ich ihm die Freundschaft aufkündigen? Ich habe ihm vorerst folgendes geschrieben:
"Biden is certainly also corrupt to a certain extent, trying to promote his son's interest, who may or may not be a drug addict and a waster.
Trump on the other hand has been caught on tape to try to put pressure on Ukraine president Selenskyj by linking substantial US aid to Ukraine with his willingness to investigate the activities of Hunter Biden in order to prove some corrupt undertakings in his job appointments in order to smear the name of his Democrat opponent. This in itself is an impeachable offence.
You might be surprised to hear that I would not be too upset if Trump won the election on Nov. 3. Trump is the best thing that has happened to the European Union since its founding. He and his Caligula frolics habe been a strong catalyzer in welding the Union more closely together and another four years of Trump would enhance this process. So, as far as I am concerned, I wish him Good Luck. He is our best ally in promoting European interests.
But changing the subject.
I do not believe for one moment that BoJo will be stupid enough to listen to this Clown Farage and go for a No Deal Brexit. The UK is economically not in a position to go this way yet some no doubt very intelligent people in BoJo's Junta seem to think this will be all in UK's best interest and a blessing for the country. Apparently they expect trade deals with USA and Asia will more than compensate wOhat losses may occur in deals with their next door neighbours.
Mainly, however, they expect to make the UK into something Switzerland was in the good all days. A refuge for the money of every low life on the planet. To hell with hard and earnest work and enterprise. Let' s be a fence to all the thieves and oligarchs and a pimp to all the financial whores of the globe. Money grows on trees. One only has to grope for it.
How do you feel about it? You certainly have more experience and insight into economic matters than I based on your professional background. Maybe there is something I have overlooked here. What, pray, is it?"
