The New York Times

How Trump’s Calls to World Leaders
Are Upsetting Decades of Diplomacy

Mr. Trump talks to the president
of Taiwan, becoming the first
U.S. president or president-elect
to do so since 1979.

DYI:  Oh the inhumanity of him to recognize what has been known for decades; Taiwan is our ally!  China knows this, the U.S. knows this, and now both the U.S. and China knows this.  Finally some real diplomacy may prevail by starting from reality!

Mr. Trump invites Rodrigo
Duterte, president of the
Philippines, to visit Washington.

DYI:  Is President Rodrigo Duterte a scum bucket?  You bet he is but what should be done?  Another regime change?  The Philippines is strategically located as we will need to get along with or the Chinese will.  Simple as that! 

Mr. Trump praises Kazakhstan’s
leader for “fantastic success.”

DYI:  Same story as with the Philippines.  The President is a strongman rule but if you want oil you better go along to get along.  There are dictators all over the planet I'm tired of the U.S. being the policeman of the world.  The cost of lives for our military and the cost to the taxpayers.  But of course the military industrial complex just loves continuous wars.

Mr. Trump accepts an invitation to
visit Pakistan, “a terrific country.”

DYI:  Just possibly Trump maybe able to defuse tensions between Pakistan and India by the direct approach.

Ivanka Trump joins a meeting
with the Japanese prime minister.

DYI:  Donald Trump's daughter don't see this as a positive nor a negative.  Remember when Bill Clinton was President Hillary was noted as a co-president and the mainstream press had no problem with it.

After brushing off the United Kingdom,
Mr. Trump offers a casual invitation
to the British prime minister.

DYI:  Prime Minister May has been dragging her feet to invoke article 50 to begin the process dissolving their ties with the EU. The EU is nothing more than a backdrop for globalism.  Any wonder why relations are a bit testy between Mays and Trump?  If Prime minister Mays fails to invoke article 50 Nigel Farage could very well run for Prime minister and win!

DYI
