Waiting for an electoral sea change in the West in the hope of making Mideast progress

As one cannot depend on what is said about Middle East politics, we must assess what few irrefutable facts there are. Before dealing with them, there are knowns that have been fully digested, and well described in an article in Hellenic Shipping News Worldwide, by Gabriel Fuentes, assistant professor in Shipping Economics and Analytics at NHH Norwegian School of Economics.

"Shipping companies," says Prof Fuentes, "face a costly dilemma in the Red Sea. Houthi attacks mean vessels passing through the Suez Canal risk being hit with ballistic missiles. The alternative is to go around the Cape of Good Hope, adding more than 8,000 nautical miles to the journey.

Hong Kong air cargo must find its way in the world of 'frenemies' in the Greater Bay Area

When US Presidents Ronald Reagan, George Bush and Donald Trump were compared to Adolf Hitler and the Nazis there was an air of empty name-calling from noisy leftists, who were people of no importance.

Lobbyists who wish to tax commercial airlines to death to address fears of climate change

A frightening essay on climate change emanates from Washington, DC's International Council for Clean Transportation (ICCT). Frightening, not because of any catastrophe that climate change threatens, but because of new onerous taxes, bans and mandates that commercial air carriers must face to meet the supposed threat.

Wikipedia says the ICCT is an American multinational non-profit public policy think tank and research institute that supposedly provides technical, scientific and policy analysis for environmental regulators on environmental, energy and transportation policy. In other words, global warming propaganda.
