    The Tarriff Hype.

    Knew a guy with a similar story from Eastern (centre of the Universe-ish) Canada, except it was marijuana he was smuggling up. They eventually busted him though for illegal parking. He was thoroughly drunk, and he managed to park his Cadillac inside of his ex-wife’s living room. They frown on...

    They’re talking about the missile tests from last week… Phew?

    Omnibus Russia Ukraine crisis

    Like in the Budapest memorandum? That kind of security non-guarantee? Russia isn’t gonna break the cease-fire, because they want for Ukraine to succeed. (YouTube & 'Russia wants to see Ukraine succeed') After a reporter questioned Trump over whether he is “prepared to sign a security...

    A news outlet affiliated with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, which oversees the ballistic missile program, reported that missile tests had taken place across the country. But Iran’s official state broadcaster then quickly denied that any tests had occurred.🤔Amid mounting Israeli...

    Trumpian Trump Class Battleships

    An aircraft carrier has these things that can literally fly through the air above hilltops and such other things below them. I concur with that assessment of the situation.

    Omnibus Russia Ukraine crisis

    Are they (both sides?) not using horses and camels. I hear that horses are not big fans of drones. These measures are generally seen as a sign of desperation following the loss of over 15,000 armored vehicles, forcing the military to revert to 15th-century tactics to bypass drone-detected...

    Venezuela? What’s up with that?

    Yeah, totally hear you. Shame somebody wasn’t advocating for a pipeline to the Pacific for landlocked Alberta & Saskatchewan.😉

    Trumpian Trump Class Battleships

    By stretching an existing platform like a Cruiser or Destroyer to accommodate the infrastructure to incorporate a rail gun? Sort of like the role an aircraft carrier plays, actually giving the actual high ground, for about the same cost as a Trump Class Battleship, and aircraft carriers are...

    Omnibus Russia Ukraine crisis

    Washington also knows that if they arm Ukraine sufficiently to actually win, once Russia is out, they are stuck with a highly trained, extremely experienced, modernly equipped Ukrainian military…& that potentially becomes a threat. Better to not equip Ukraine to actually win, but to eventually a...

    Are they? Have you asked Bibi lately? Maybe he will share that at Mar-a-Lago on Monday…?

    Trumpian Trump Class Battleships

    Yes, why wouldn’t the Trump Class Battleship be nuclear? It would be the largest (non-Aircraft Carrier) surface ship yet Trump has already stated that it would be gas or diesel turbines, etc… Carriers “also” use aircraft for defence as well as offensively, and you’re correct in that they do...

    Venezuela? What’s up with that?

    Are there benefits in the Carbon Market for Venezuela Canada to keep their oil in the ground and focus on mining, manufacturing, agribiz and tourism when liberated from Socialism (or something like it)? At least until America tells Canada otherwise? What if PetroCanada decides to withhold “our”...

    So does this mean Trump might have to divert his attention away from Greenland Panama Canada China Russia Venezuela Nigeria? Has America bombed anyone else since Christmas Day? No? So Yeah, ok, let’s go with Nigeria this week…? (YouTube & Iran at "full-scale war" with US and allies, Iran's...

    Omnibus Russia Ukraine crisis

    Did the hinge of US funding go to Russia who’s demanding Crimea, Kherson Donbass and Luhansk at this point in order for a cease-fire until they want more? Russia has moved very little from its maximalist position and has not reacted to the latest proposal. The U.S., meanwhile, has pushed...

    Venezuela? What’s up with that?

    That depends entirely upon who finances these environmental groups and what their agenda(s) happen to be. US foundations, including the Hewlett Foundation and Rockefeller Brothers Fund, have been identified as major funders (over $40 million) for campaigns against Canadian oil sands and...

    Trumpian Trump Class Battleships

    Carriers have built in/on fighter air support. Trumps Battleships can carry some helicopters I guess. Rail guns and lasers are power hungry, so you would think a nuclear reactor would make sense to support them, but that doesn’t sound like it’s in the cards a Trump Class boat even for its own...

    Omnibus Russia Ukraine crisis

    Zelenskyy arrived in Florida on Saturday night with a Ukrainian delegation, before talks with the US president at his Mar-a-Lago (White House Two) residence. The two leaders are expected to discuss the latest iteration of a 20-point peace plan and the unresolved question of the future of...

    Omnibus Jeffrey Epstein & Ghislaine Maxwell

    Doesn’t have to be on the ice. It also messes with them when they square up right and so do you…initially…but you’re able to just smoothly switch after a bit to a left-handed stance…especially if they try it themselves to keep up because that just doesn’t work for (most) non-southpaws.

    Fentanyl

    My experience with it is positive. It needs to be fairly tightly controlled, but I don’t think it’s a bad thing at all.

    The Tarriff Hype.

    The Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act was active from its signing by President Herbert Hoover on June 17, 1930, and remained in effect, significantly impacting global trade through the early to mid-1930s, with its harsh effects leading to renegotiations and its eventual easing under President Franklin D...
