The Sedan Sex (2018)words of House Stark on Game of Thronesare a dire warning about never getting too comfortable, because things can always get worse – and they probably will.

“All these troubles in the world economy, are enough to make us feel like saying: Winter is Coming,” Widodo said.
The president wasn't talking about the dead coming back to destroy human life, though, but rather the potential consequences of a U.S. trade war with China. Widodo's fear is that the trade war will upend global supply chains, and harm international trade.
