Kaliningrad

This is an isolated part of Russia bordering the Baltic. Lithuania is stopping transit across its territory because of EU sanctions. Russia is unhappy but knows Lithuania is in NATO.

 This is an analysis of the world economy yesterday. Worrying.  I think President Trump has made a huge mistake and the world will not forget.

Is Russia hurting?

 The indicators appear to be indicating this?

What's the effect on the world of the failed Iran peace talks?

It is disappointing that the peace talks in Pakistan have failed. What is likely to happen now? 

Clearly, the immediate future looks more uncertain and markets will be "on edge". This Joe Blogs video may help.

 This was the Joe Blogs video yesterday.

These videos are usually about economics or politics. I watch them most days. 

UPDATE 1152z:  Apparently the airman was rescued by the USA.

These are usually about economics and politics, but I watch them most days and enjoy them. This one was a bit different.

Iran crisis

 Most days I watch the Joe Blogs videos. Escalation in the Iran war is a real risk.

 "Poking the hornets nest" comes to mind. Let's hope those who started it know how to end it.

Joe Blogs YouTube

In the world of politics and economics the videos by Joe Blogs are informative. Most days I like to hear what he has to say.  It's nice to see something that is not AI and that you can trust.   

That's the trouble these days: you can never be sure that what you see is what the person really said unless you definitely trust the source.

Is the USA putting itself out of world trade?

 Although traditionally the US has been a very important market, it would appear that many countries are increasingly looking to each other rather than the USA.   

It could take many years to happen, but at the moment the USA seems to be "kicking itself in the teeth".

YouTube videos

There are huge numbers of videos on YouTube. Many people now watch YouTube on TV which is a recent change. 

Whatever your interest, you are almost certain to find a video. If you do a search I can almost guarantee you will find something. 

Last night we watched a video about transport in the time of Queen Victoria in the UK. This was on the TV.

If you want videos about Russia I have found TimesRadio and Joe Blogs videos informative.
