US: the good, the bad and …

Good: Uygurs in Xinjiang: Trump has slapped sanctions on China because of its treatment of Muslims in Xinjiang. That’s good. My views in Islam as an ideology is that it’s bad. But random incarceration just for being Muslim? Not on, and I’ve said so since I first heard about it, which, by the way, was way before it hit the MSM
Bad: Trump plans pull-out of northern Syria leaving our Kurdish allies in the lurch. In that benighted area there’s only one group that’s good, and that’s the Kurds. The backlash has been so fierce from both sides, that Trump is said to be walking it back.
Ugly: the NBA imbroglio. Neither China nor the Basketballers come out well
