Ok - I have had enough.
I've given up trying to understand the world.
To start with we have the USA which finds itself lumbered with a sexist, semi-literate, belligerent oaf masquerading as a president who has surrounded himself with people who appear not to achieve even the low bar he himself has set in terms of even being intelligible.
Then we have the whole BREXIT fandango caused by a premier who did not have enough backbone to stand up to his own backbenchers and therefore launched us on the disastrous trajectory we find ourselves on. On every measure we are as a country going to be poorer without now it seems the 'bonus' (if you view at such) of being able to control immigration. The added pleasure of the break up of the UK being something else the government is completely unable to stop and will be completely unable to manage in any sensible manner.
Then we have Russia, Mr Putin and friends. Were they behind the chemical weapons or was it Assad - or was it the US managing to fabricate an excuse to bomb the Assad regime? Fake news, partial news, any news makes it impossible to assess the validity of the competing claims.
And now from Chechnya revolting news of the treatment of gay people - again hard to estimate how accurate the claims are from news sources here, but I have checked with friends in Warsaw who know others in Moscow and it appears that at least claims of police brutality by the Chechen authorities are horribly true.
News reports on this here:

Welcome to my head, its confusion; and it's utter, utter disdain for this world.
