Timelines in the USA are certainly speeding up, and the worst of them are very bad indeed.
I don't want to go into the full details because it's just too depressing, but some pointers:
- The troops leaving Syria and Afghanistan are coming home.
- Pence has had two years of schooling at Trump's White House.
- Tom Cotton and John Keane have been mentioned as replacements for Mattis. Check their bios.
By the way, I'll be taking a break from this forum. Nothing to do with the really lovely people here - it's just that Brexit is keeping me busy (I live in the UK, as you know).
Wish you the best possible for the New Year - whatever happens in the end!
Best of luck and happiness to you, Maria. Thank you for all you've done, and hope to see you back soon.
All the best to you, Maria! I live in Europe on the other side of the Brexit divide and know that we are in for interesting times. It is especially hard for those who are affected by both sides of the issue. Sending light and good energy for the upcoming period!
Sending the love and light of much compassion and understanding, Maria
We all need breaks sometimes and last year was overwhelming in many ways.
Our best to you and yours. Please know how much I have appreciated you and the others who have left here and I am ever hopeful that all things will work together for the best if all of us and our families, lives, and world.
It's very challenging to have such deep awareness of the dangers of the dark as many of us do, and still walk in the light of each new day.
Just know that I hold you and all of your country in my heart.
I wish you all the best, Maria.
I hope everything will turn out OK for you and your country.
