two signs that the Middle East might explode again

 StrategyPage is worried about what is going on in the Middle East:

but another sign that things might be getting dangerous: The Philippines is telling the OFW working in Lebanon to come home.

and this doesn't include the war in the Ukraine, where the Ukraine invaded Russia, and of course, China threatening the Philippines in the west Philippine sea.

Oh well: Lolo promised me if I moved here I would always have rice to eat. The problem? The gov't decided to drain and dredge out the irrigation canal so no irrigation for our rice fields: it has rained enough to plant two of our fields a month later than usual, so hopefully we won't go broke, but I worry about our small famers (who might decide that they will sell their land to developers planning to put up huge solar farms in our province)...

Sigh.
