It would take 69 years after Israel declared Jerusalem as its capital, that the U.S. formally opened its embassy in the city.

The Malaysia “Kangaroo Court” will declare UMNO, an illegal society effective yesterday (19 April, 2018), is still a legal society by throwing the case out of the window as fast as lightning.

... written on Apr 21 2018Business has been roaring for American shale producers. No matter how much and fast they drill, it appears they can’t beat the Arabs, whose production cut works marvellously. Crude oil prices continue skyrocketing with extremely strong support at US$60 a barrel. Global inventories have plunged. OPEC can actually imitate President Trump and says – “Mission […]
... written on Apr 16 2018The just concluded military strike in Syria is perhaps one of rare bombardments where both attacker and defender came out celebrating.

No one was killed, making […]

... written on Apr 11 2018Calling it “unfair retaliation”, President Donald Trump announced he has instructed the United States Trade Representative to consider US$100 billion in additional tariffs against China.
