US &CHINA SEE EYE TO EYE

DATE 2089
QUATRAIN: 2/89


uN JOUR SERON DEMIS LES DEUX GRANDS MAISTRES,
LEUR GRAND POUVOIR SE VERRA AUGMENTER
LA TERRE NEUFUE SERA EN SES HAUTS ESTRES,
AU SANGUINAIRE LE NOMBRE RACOMPTE.
                                        *
ONE DAY THE TWO GREAT LEADERS WILL BECOME FRIENDS

THEIR GREAT POWER WILL BECOME GREATER
THE NEW WORLD WILL BE AT ITS HIGHEST POINT
THE NUMBER SHALL BE TOLD TO THE RED ONE.


It's quite encouraging  to learn that after the global war of 2070 and the environmental horrors of the 2080's, human nature, in the form o personal friendship, can still make a difference. The two great leaders, of course, will be those of Chine and the US, and the influence of the New World (North America) will have peaked. The great Red One has already appeared in 8/80-2080 and the telling to him of the number "two", does not bode two can have numerologically, from 4/59-2059, and the linking of this number with the "red man" who commands the elements is far from auspicious. However, it would be churlish to dilute the glory of one of the Nostradamus's few partially optimistic quatrain, due only to the sting in the tail of the last line.


Summary


Their confidence shaken by the long-term fallout from the global war of 2070, the new leaders of the United States and China offer each other the hand of friendship. Peace reigns.
