The weight of psychological messages
Never before had Russia and China conducted joint maritime drills as large as that and in so many oceans and seas in the world simultaneously.

The world’s public opinion shouldn`t dramatize their actions and the new situation in the Korean Peninsula and shouldn`t be surprised if in the future the US and South Korea perform military drills again and North Korea fires missiles.
Their game with currency is always like playing with double-edged knife. China’s deliberate weakening of the yuan has a limit and the US sanctions on countries it considers currency manipulators can`t be limitless and effective forever.
Mr. Trump`s new tariff on Chinese goods is firstly something like another psycho warfare to deter and deliver a warning to China, keep this country under the US pressures and force China to kneel down.
The EU would still need more time to solve its own problems before returning to the role and influence it once had on the world stage.
Both sides are taking care about keeping chances and possibilities to scale down their confrontation.
The two presidents talked about, of cause, Ukraine, concretely about the conflict in Ukraine’s eastern regions and the relations between Russia and the smaller neighbor.
Now US President Donald Trump`s anger over the UK seems to be limitless.
Nobody thinks about installing the best candidates in the best interest of the EU but only cared about its own interests.
From now on there is no return to the past for Mr. Trump, Mr. Kim Jong-un and Mr. Moon Jae-in any more.
Except some small details, this agreement looks similar to what the two men had reached last year in Argentina, also on the sidelines of the then G20 annual summit.
The encounter was of very positive significance that they met with each other again.
After a not short standstill, the bargaining between the US and China will start again.
In showing to the outside, both the US and Iran have been insisting that they did not want war against each other but all determined to respond to the other`s provocations with the same toughness by the same weapons.
The dimension in the case of India is not comparable to that in the case of China, but it is the same game the US is now playing with China and India.
This year in Osaka, it will still be another summit of China, India and Russia on the sidelines of G20.
They could not succeed because they were not fully selfless, the US and Iran are still miles away from being ready to sit down and talk with each other about scaling down the tension and solving the conflict.
Ironically for the US, the more problems the US caused to Russia and China, the closer and stronger the relationship between Russia and China would become.
"Today’s generation benefits from those who have gone before us, and who took risks, not just in diplomacy, but also in trade, in economics, and in countless other fields.”
Possibly, like last year in Argentina, Trump and Xi would meet in private, talk to each other and reach new agreements and solve the dispute or at least to reactivate their bilateral trade talks.
Russia, South Korea and Japan would like the peace talks between the US and North Korea to go on, and tried to push it because a detente between the US and North Korea as well as denuclearization of the Korean peninsula serve their strategic long-term interests.
