    The "Do nothing. Win" meme is in actuality a reference to Daoist concept of "wu wei", which is translated something like 'non-action', 'effortless action' or 'action without forcing it'. You just stay in your lane, keep going and victories big and small fall onto your lap. America is the one who is blundering around and supplying China easy wins.

    I’m hopeful that this attack on Iran will have the long-term beneficial outcome of accelerating the move to renewables in the Global South. What’s happening to Cuba right now should be a warning to everyone: if your country relies on fossil fuels, the US can and will cut you off from those fuels if it doesn’t like the cut of your jib. I think that’s the real reason Trump is going so hard against things like windmills. He wants to see everyone dependent on oil - and is positioning the US to control global oil flows in order to force the world to bend to the US’ will. Any country that wants to preserve its sovereignty needs to be looking into getting off oil dependency yesterday. And thankfully, China is building out the capacity now to satisfy that demand for renewable energy.

    Trump is just hitting one home run after another. Best president ever. We need another one like him after his term ends to really dedollarise and go Green.
