"But maybe the December speech will bring a quick end to winter and an early start to a new spring. Bets anyone?"

Nuanced answers aside, I think it's pretty obvious with the way things are going, it's going to get a lot worse before things will improve.

Mr. Rudd, on the Sinica podcast, regardless of one's opinion about the man (eg. Mr. Schradder's Twitter dispute with Mr. Kuo about the episode), explained it pretty well that we need new rules of engagement and that "Western" countries have to be willing to step up to the plate and defend liberal values, etc. However, as long as nationalism and xenophobia are more attractive, it's going to be difficult.
