New Wave: Max Is Back!

By Max Coutinho

L'enfant terrible is back. Almost two years ago, I embarked on an interesting journey (to be eventually shared in a series of posts), and after my return I could swear that world affairs suffered little change, apart from COVID-19 constraints - obviously. 

By now, my dear readers, you must be wondering: what on earth are you talking about? But bear with me for a couple of minutes and try to answer the question: what has truly changed?

ON THE SURFACE

• The US has a new President - a less than desirable one, but that’s the American choice, so let them deal with it

• Israel has a new PM - the tribes have gone mad...But let Israelis deal with it

• Europe is in a mess - more of the same, but Europeans are not dealing with it

• China is still trying hard to dominate the world - nu?

• Russia shows no sign of slowing down - good for her! 

• Portugal...well, Portugal is Portugal - but at least now it presides de Council of the EU (though the People don’t feel its effects)

HARD COLD REALITY

• America is back to doing the same old kind of politics that got us into troubles in the first place

• Israel is shooting on its own foot and risking dragging the country back to 1982

• Europe is on the verge of collapse: with “my mind on my money and my money on my mind” kind of attitude, they risk having the European population heavily infected this Winter with worse strains than Alpha, Beta, Kappa, Delta, Omega (and everything in between)

• China now laughs at the world’s stupidity (I dare betting they were not the authors of COVID-19)

• Russia is almost ready for the big revelation

• And Portugal...well, Portugal incurs the risk of collapsing: its national identity is about to crash, which is giving birth to a sort of radical nationalism that I have never seen before; corruption is rife; injustice prevails; the sense of hopelessness is felt all around...but hey, it’s a great country for the foreigners to live in! 

So, what else is new? Ah yes, very little, if any, Terrorist Attacks took place in the west - apparently everything was shifted to the North of Mozambique 😱

Yeah, I’m back. And I am looking forward to sharing with you my new viewpoint of the world…
