This is a Much Bigger Story Than Impeachment Kabuki, but....

Bloomberg editors have noticed that the world is on fire. There are demonstrations and unrest in Lebanon, Chile, Spain, Iraq, Sudan, Russia, Uganda, Peru, Hong Kong, Zimbabwe, Venezuela and others. That "other" is Iran, where the Internet has been shut down and rampaging protesters are burning down the Central Bank.

Hong Kong at least deserves a separate mention. It is really the bellwether for the fate of China. The Chinese government may be edging toward their Tienanmen moment in the former British colony. Bloomberg's survey of the global world disorder omitted the two biggest trouble spots: Britain's Brexit crisis -- of which no more need be said for now -- and the simmering political conflict in the United States.
