Putin ruined my coffee. But Bolton really is a piece of shjt.
Bolton should be cast first into the conflagration he,s fermenting, it,s the best way to scrub the evidence, he,s a moustash and nothing more. Only a hobnail boot to the face will save him.
He,s product of the main race.

What ever thought all those years ago that we would get to see the evil dark side of Captain Kangaroo?

there they go..
Are you getting ready for war with China? It always starts economically.

BTW it's bipartisan through and through.

Playing good cop, bad cop is the norm for DC (and Ottawa for that matter) when it comes to conflict of this scale. The NATO arms build up surrounding China is staggering.

By all means do some homework but be warned, it'll scare the shit out of you.

Trump is the last thing you need to worry about.

Well, obviously. That's why we're No4.

The report takes into account GDP data as well as information in goods and services, tourism, talent, investment to assess the value of a nation as a brand.

Danish lawmakers have gone on the offensive against interference in public debate, sparking criticism that a new proposal, which could entail criminal liability for expressing opinions similar to those of Moscow, may become a step toward silencing public debate.
The proposal, which is said to be meant to "strengthen efforts against illegal influence from foreign intelligence services," would introduce criminal penalties for perceived "meddling" in public debates and attempts to influence decision-making. Crimes committed during an election campaign would entail a maximum prison term of 12 years.

Better than Canadian cars.


There is a Ford plant a couple of kilometers away from me that exports all over the world (no other sources for these models). Some are re-badged for overseas, such as the Ford Vignale for the EU/UK market (called the Endura in Australia). They are "world cars" as almost all cars are, these days but the biggest share of the content is Canadian.

Ford is American, not Canadian.

As far as I know, there are no Canadian cars that are famous outside of Canada.

This war will certainly not be limited to China and US and in my opinion it is timed to coincide with climate related crop losses which will signifigantly weaken certain of the national actors. The constantly mentioned population explosion suddenly has a natural climatic remedy which certain humans can enhance by stealing, by war, still productive regions and denying the enemies of empire food and resources necessary to conduct war. The USA will not survive and nobody wants an ice covered Canada. I,ll be hopefully dead from old age before the worst brutal carnage in recent human history is even half over. Americans have a very great debt to pay the world and they think they can and will avoid that debt by choosing the time and place to initiate the coming war. Yes the sanctions placed on the world by the USA are definitely acts of war.
