About Ema
- My view... American politics, from outside the box
- Ema Kitsune was born in a small Oregon town and was raised by a loving, caring, kind and gentle mom. Ema has an older sibling still residing in Oregon and also has two children and four grandchildren, who find Ema's views, "My view... from outside the box", not only interesting and informative but occasionally funny and critical at the same time. Ema is currently living in Japan and enjoys the unique perspective of viewing America and American politics from outside the box. Ema hopes you will enjoy these views too. Ema's name, as translated from Japanese, has some interesting parallels to the "My view..." site, as well. Ema, the phonetic sound for the English letter "m", is also the Japanese name of the small wooden plaques worshipers and visitors write their prayers, thoughts and wishes on, then leave hanging at Shinto shrines for the kami (spirits or gods) to receive. Kitsune is the Japanese word for fox. Foxes are a common subject of Japanese folklore and have become closely associated with Inari, a Shinto kami and serve as his messenger. Thus, Ema's view...; small plaques, with messages, delivered by mfox.
"Ukraine's (America's) most pressing international challenge will be to manage the relationship with Vladimir Putin's Russia. Putin strongly backed Yanukovich (Trump), and Russian-led election monitors attested to his victory in the first runoff (primaries). Putin spent four days in the week before the first-round vote promoting Yanukovich (Trump) in lengthy press interviews and public meetings. Kremlin image-makers played a crucial role in advising and directing the Yanukovich (Trump) campaign, and the Yushchenko (Clinton) camp believes Russia spent several hundred million dollars to help Yanukovich (Trump) win. Yushchenko's (Clinton's)victory is thus a humiliating defeat for Putin and a setback for Russia's hegemonic inclinations." Is history repeating itself? This was an excerpt from an article by Adrian Karatnycky on Ukraine's "Orange Revolution", with substitutions, made in (parenthesis), to highlight some of the strange similarities about the Trump campaign, his Russian advisers and his Russian business connections... but then again, I don't know for sure... but I have heard some people say... again, I don't know, you tell me.
