After a somewhat slow December, there is a lot of good news and bad. The problem is that both seem to come at the same time, leaving anyone following the flood of information bewildered. Two main categories of news, economy and national security, are running at odds with each other. Are things getting better or are they getting worse? It depends on how you look at it.
This is what a time of revolution and restructuring looks like. Anything can happen. Times like these are what separates romantics from pragmatists, optimists from pessimists, and if we aren’t careful politics from any semblance of reality.
