Debt reduction by inflation

The US has the historical large amount of the debt now. Now, with the fault of invasion to Iran, the petrodollar recycling is going to shrink. The adminitration seems to cover the expenditure by causing more inflation. Of course, without testifying that.

It is even much worse in our country. The government debt is over 210$ of GDP. In addition to the consumption tax cut as well as more expenditure for the military expansion, the administration plans 370 trillion JPY investments by 2040. I could not help judging they are nullng the debt by hyperinflation.

 

Opposing to the sanctions on the ICC head et al by the Trump administration

The Trump administration has imposed sanctions on the head and another lawyer of International Criminal Court, ICC. They have previously done the same sanctions on other 11 personnel.

ICC has been established in 2002 pursuant to the ICC Rome Statute. It is to research and punish any serious war crimes in the international community. Now 125 countries have ratified the Rome statute with the USA, Russia and China excluded. The aim of ICC is to uphold the rule of law in the world. Its function is limited to the areas/countries in its jurisdiction. It is not intended to violate the sovereignty of the nations not ratifying the Rome statute. 

As told above, sanctions by the Trump administration is not justified. Since the beginning of this year, it is rather the US which has impinged the sovereignty of Venezuela and of Iran. Those countries have been attacked in preemptive manner and their political leaders have been kidnapped or even killed. These behaviours are definitely against the rule of law in the international community. 

The Trump administration is trying to defund and to dismantle ICC. What they insist seems to be ostensible reasoning. They must fear their military actions would be punished by any international organizations like ICC in the future. I could not help imagining this is their real reason.

I hate living in the world where military and economical power rules even if it is not accomplished at present. ICC is an important organization to go toward the goal. I absolutely approve ICC and the personnel working there in order to maintain and improve the rule of law in the world.

Cherishing every moment

It is mid summer here. Pretty hot in the mid day but not so much in the morning/evening. I am still working hard at the garden/farm while it remains not very hot. Staying on a small chair pulling and cutting weeds. It passes 3 or even 4 hours without being conscious of that. 

Not so often as before, I still cook some dishes. Boiled chicken breast meat with yuzu pepper dressing. Too hot for my wife but pretty good for me insensitive to pepper.

Tomatoes are pretty successful this year. It is always difficult for me to grow large size tomatoes. They could rupture with much rain fall. I have chosen a strain which is resistent to such a problem this year and they have bored quite some fruits. Harvesting a large one with 4 inches in diameter, I have made a salad with it. Pretty sweet and juicy.

 

Peaceful and uneventful days are going on. Still feeling it won't last forever. I try to cherish every day or even every moment.
