Don’t you hate sentences that start with I’m not a --- but,...They are often followed with things like I’m not a racist but, or I’m not homophobic but.  

Don’t you hate sentences that start with I’m not a — but,…They are often followed with things like I’m not a racist but, or I’m not homophobic but.  

Well, if you do, please don’t read any further because I’m not a conspiracy theorist but hearing the news about Trumpy and his sidekick Elon trying to take over their bit of the world has me worried. So read on to try and understand my deluded  conspiracy theory if you’re that way inclined.  

It is no secret that Trump, Putin and old mate Kim Jong Un, the Supreme Leader of North Korea, are chums. Putin recently delivered a gift to Kim, Russia’s version of a bulletproof limo a couple of weeks ago.

The two bandits could be seen laughing and cajoling as they cruised the countryside of the peninsula, probably running over the beggars as they pushed it through its paces.  

So that makes a foursome with Trump, Elon, Kim and Putin, and as they say in the theatre, there’s no show without Punch, and for me Punch is Xi Jinping, China’s top dog.

Then throw in Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu who has just demolished the  Gaza Strip and killed a fair portion of the population, so it’s now ripe for tourist resort development, and that makes five.  

My theory is that this bunch of misfits, who would look equally at home in the front bar of the Star Wars movie, are the most powerful dudes in the world.

It is my  concept that behind closed doors the horse trading began a long time ago.  I have never heard this sort of direct rhetoric in politics before, particularly from America, where Trump is talking about taking over Greenland, Canada and taking back the Panama Canal.  

Canada’s prime minister has just quit, almost as if he wasn’t up for the fight. And Mark Zuckerberg has dismissed the fact checkers from Facebook. Again, getting ready for some political moves that seem to be afoot or just getting on the good side of Trump.  

South Korea’s politics are in a mess, so Trump only has to withdraw his 30,000 troops from the demilitarized zone for that little applecart to tip over.  

And what’s next? Russia getting the green light to take over Ukraine I suppose,  which has large reserves of titanium, lithium, beryllium, uranium, iron ore,  manganese and coal.

The first four of these elements are essential for making nuclear and other weapons. Then what happens with China, which has bases around the Antarctic to our south and plenty of friendly ports to our north, courtesy of years of buyoffs?

First it will be Taiwan, then a hop, skip and jump to the land down under and there wouldn’t be a damn thing we could do about it with our limited military resources.

Now this is just a theory from my overactive imagination so don’t hop on a jet to New Zealand yet. But there are some facts that underpin my deliberations, and these set out the next few years as incredibly interesting and historic and maybe a little unsettling.  I told you not to read it, rant  over…
