When it comes to #Taiwan, the #UnitedStates always has stressed that it opposed any unilateral change of the #statusquo by violent means.
Now what has #Trump ordered to happen in #Venezuela if not that, and how will #China proceed from here?
This president is not a smart man, really. Nobody supported the US in today's #UNSecretCouncil meeting. #LawEnforcement operation my ass!
#internationallaw

Peace is #war, and war is #peace, as #GeorgeOrwell wrote more than 80 years ago.
Now why exactly did #FIFA grant a phony peace prize to a war mongering old man?
Due to the brazenly illegal attack on #Venezuela, the #UnitedStates have just made #Taiwan's doomsday clock leap forward. That is the exact kind of violent and unilateral changes of the #statusquo that #China has been warned about repeatedly.

Sadly not smart at all.

#StatusQuo's first album is really really good if you ignore the first track which is like "Pictures of Matchstick Men" with a few notes swapped. Shame they just rehashed boogiewoogie/12bar for the rest of their careers. I wonder what fresh stuff they could have done if they had continued down the progressive pop route?

The most persistent and pernicious performance-challenges stay that way until someone with #influence and #power takes the time to listen.

Silence keeps these issues alive, leaving participants and observers feeling trapped and powerless.

Changing the #StatusQuo feels impossible.

A sense of stagnation doesn’t just affect not only individual contributors operating in a role.

Businessss and #communities become complacent, as everyone waits for change.

🎉 Breaking news: Guy works at #Google, has discovered the groundbreaking truth that creating mini-frameworks is a bad idea! 🚀 Apparently, engineers should just suck it up and stick to the status quo because reinventing the wheel is for amateurs. 🙄 Who would’ve thought?

Remembering Richard John Parfitt, who died today 24th December 2016

" People often ask me about things I would change if I had to do it all over again, but I wouldn't change a thing."

"The anniversary waltz (part one)" - Status Quo

Every Christmas show needs a medley performed by a cruise singer. 1990 got the highlight of Quo's tour to mark 2500 years in showbiz: a megamixymatosis of tunes from their youth.

A quotation from Henry Steele Commager

What threatens our security is not change but the inability to change; what threatens progress is not revolution but stagnation; what threatens our survival is not novel or dangerous ideas but the absence of ideas.

Henry Steele Commager (1902-1998) American historian, writer, activist
Speech (1971-04-10), “The University and the Community of Learning,” Kent State University, Ohio

Se me había pasado reseñar el bolo de #Cracker en Madrid el miércoles 26 de noviembre (hicieron otro el domingo 30).

Fui animado por amigos que son parte de su legión de seguidores, pero mi diagnóstico, como me figuraba, sigue siendo que son un gran grupo de rock americano de medios tiempos y aroma #country, y, como tal, no están dentro de mi área de operaciones. Vistos.

¡Ah! Hicieron una versión del "Pictures of Matchstick Men" de #StatusQuo. Así que les perdono. :ablobgrin:

You are under no obligation to remain the same person you were a year ago, a month ago, or even a day ago. You are here to create yourself, continuously.
