Canada must look into BRICS. A much larger Trade Zone to use Canadian Currency.

The US may be opting out economically but at the same time maintaining military force directly in Yemen etc or by proxy (Israel etc). The forces these trigger can only combine to combust.

You need data centres and a lot of water. Speculatively a reason why Israel might want Gaza

The Ziopaths want complete control of the Jordan.

what do you mean by combust? "The forces these trigger can only combine to combust." I mean that these actors may be able to survive, elude, US military power as they train themselves in cheap AI tactics. Then it depends on ingenuity , development speed, and adaptive fabrication capacity

I meant figuratively rather than literally. Economic isolationism (inwards protection) and military force outwards won't make for a good geopolitical combination

Tariffs make great headlines but terrible diplomacy. They punish consumers, provoke allies, and embolden rivals. In the end, the US may find that its greatest competitor isn’t China — it’s its own economic shortsightedness.

Tariffs aren’t great headlines here, Diana. The stock market fell 2000 points yesterday; only the fourth time it’s ever done so.

I don’t need to read more than your title to know you hit the mail on the head...that is the step they are taking in their agenda...expand BRICS to then create a war and try to blame all the BRICS countries and call them terrorist rouge countries...it’s not going to end well for them or anyone...the way they are going proves they do not understand life and what we are here for.

Trump wants automobiles “manufactured in Amerikkka again”. Well, fine and dandy, except for all the plants that have been torn down.

How fucking stupid IS he to believe that auto manufacturing can begin overnight? Hubs worked for GM for 35 years; he retired when they sent all the dies to Mexico and shut down the plant, which was subsequently demolished.

So rebuild the plants, configure them, retool them, train skilled-trades workers? That shit ain’t gonna happen in Trump’s fucking LIFETIME.

Asian stock markets took a dive, so look out New York later today. PS: Trump is just a manager, so it cannot be Trump politics.

Interesting: "raise borrowing costs for Washington—a dangerous outcome given its massive debt burden." Yet, the US remains the largest single market in the world ???

Jenny, we friends must all get together and take care of each other! I’m thinking I may have to turn my farm into a compound…or commune.

Bliss.
