"Respect over subservience". "Rising on it's own terms".
I just don't see this happening in the Bahamas. We are dependent on others, like it or not. Having spent time in the Peoples Republic of China and The Untied States of America. I think it is wise to continue to strengthen our important relationship with our closest neighbor and make gains here at home accordingly.
Baha Mar is a prime example of PRC "capital, construction crews, and respect".
"Mr. Munroe said officials have already identified the required equipment, including tankers, ladder trucks, and pumpers, and are working with suppliers to finalise price estimates and orders. However, he stressed that delivery could take time, explaining that firefighting vehicles cannot be simply bought off the shelf but must be custom-built."
"finalize price estimates". Pathetic. Typical response from our leadership. Meanwhile, we the citizens are at great risk of harm, and our property is at great risk of damage/destruction.
A very lengthy soliloquy by Mr. Young. I don't recall a similar "column" when Barack Hussain Obama famously bragged that he has a "pen and a phone". Nor do I recall a Mr. Young rant about "sharp as a tack" Joe Biden's use of use of executive orders.
Nevertheless, it is unfortunate for the EU that President Trump has had to call into question the hypocrisy of EU countries like Germany for instance, who utilizes large quantities of Russian supplied energy, while at the same time calling for America to provide more and more military assistance against the Russian onslaught. President Trump rightfully has pushed EU members into living up to the terms of the NATO agreement. President Trump is doing exactly what he was elected to do.
There are several medical solutions available to individuals like Charlie Harper. Hopefully, he and others with the infection known as TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome) will seek the help they desperately need.
Additionally, medical experts have recently identified EMS (Elon Musk Syndrome). This infection is predominately found in virtuous climate change activists, politicians, journalists, movie stars, and mainstream media personalities. Individuals who exhibit EMS symptoms are known to suddenly give up saving the planet (by burning, selling or destroying their Teslas), and purchasing a gas guzzling Chevy Tahoe or similar vehicle. If you own a Tesla beware, persons infected with EMS may attempt to destroy or vandalize your clean energy vehicle.
