I have said this before: Pope Leo should throw some holy water at Trump and press a cross into his forehead to see what happens.
Xi played a fragment from “Swan Lake” during the reception for Putin and the Russian delegation. Specifically the infamous “Dance of the Little Swans,” that became the historic soundtrack of the USSR collapse.

As an aside, I was invited to a Chinese media launch in London to update on the belt and road initiative. One of the gifts in the goodie bag was an exquisitely crafted metal flash drive in the shape of a dragon. I saw some journos admiring it. I thought, that’s going nowhere near my laptop. 1/2
A super-El Niño could be on the way. Couple this with Trump’s war closing the Strait of Hormuz and blocking fertiliser shipments and we may be looking at a crisis in some of the poorest parts of the world.
