9:17 am
of the. six plus one talks in two thousand and nine and the u.n. other than sanctioning north korea has failed to come up with any concrete diplomatic solution to reach in to the mysterious stage and to bring it back into the fold so what is going on behind the scenes is their favorite diplomacy or not well north korea famously enjoys bilateral relations with china and russia and there may indeed be contacts going to be going through the channels we can say for sure that china is upset with north korea i think there's a general recognition that china north korea is a close relationship is starting to disintegrate particularly because this saber rattling that we're seeing from north korea has brought very aggressive united states into china's front garden now it should also be mentioned now whether this is coincidence or not. live up to others to judge but nato secretary general

rising from a russian i became a vocal critic of the kremlin. with oil pipes bursting in arkansas people across the usa started to realize that they are moving towards what the atlantic calls the infrastructure cliff in short america's infrastructure started to get a bit old and according to infrastructure org the us needs about three point six trillion dollars of infrastructure spending by twenty twenty to turn things around the site sponsored by the american society of civil engineers gave all aspects of american infrastructure like bridges and drinking water and schools cetera some pretty bad grades except for solid waste removal for some reason in their opinion everything in the usa is going to crap except for america's ability to throw solid crap away i'm not trying to sit here and scare you there is nothing to fear this is

a big challenge but it is a very possible one to accomplish according to cost of war dot org the last ten years of war of cost about three point one trillion dollars just cutting wars in half by fifty percent could put a huge dent in the infrastructure spending and what about all those billions in bailout that were spent you see the money is there it just. gets wasted if the money stops getting thrown away and start getting spent a well planned infrastructure then the infrastructure will start paying for itself rocket infrastructure creates wealth so don't fear the infrastructure cliff just stop wasting money or allowed politicians to waste money and everything will turn out to be just fine but that's just my opinion.
