We need to make friends with Nicaragua, and Cuba, and Venezuela, by working together on projects of mutual benefit, and then as we develop a better relationship with them then we can work on coming together on more deeper set issues.
We can work with Nicaragua, Venezuela, and Cuba, on the issue of Global Warming, we can help them go Green and Clean and as we work together with them on Global Warming then we can work together to improve our relationship on other issues. We can also work together with the World Bank and others on the issue of food insecurity, and inflation, etc, and we can work together so that everyone can have food and supplies on the shelves of the stores, and medical care.
When I lived in a bad neighborhood in an R.V. park, I had 3 barbecue grills, and a blender, and I made tacos and burritos and margaritas and barbecued chicken and other great stuff for my neighbors, I fed all of my neighbors and served them margaritas, and that is the same way that we need to handle international relations here in the USA, we need to have a relationship with the people in our international community. You do not build a wall and hide behind a gun, instead you fire up the barbecue and get busy cooking and you have feasts with your neighbors and celebrate the blessing of good food and margaritas. As long as you have good food and margaritas then you have a good foundation to build on, and it is the same with international relations.
I used to have a lot of issues with China, and then God gave me the daughter of a Chinese general as a roommate, God put me together with China, and I was able to talk with her about all of my issues, and we made peace. We agreed that our leaders must be wise and patient, and that we need to have peace and prosperity. That is how we need to do international relations.
Salute,
Tony V.
