If Trump is Israel’s friend, why is he enabling a pack of Jew haters to run Gaza? He is, after forcing Israel to stop attacking Hamas, in some cockeyed deal to get the 20 live hostages back. That worked, the rest of the deal is a flop except the part where Gaza is taken away from Israel and is intended by Trump to be a “Palestinian” state. This is a requirement of the Arab nations there before they sign on to the Abraham Accords, which are meant to unite the M.E. economically and militarily.
He’s getting ready to invade Venezuela. If he can cause a regime change and dominate it, he can force South America to join in an economic bloc. He’ll soon be sending troops into Mexico to deal with the cartels, if the signs of it are correct. The cartels run the Mexican government. If he can destroy them, the US will be Mexico’s new government and then all of Central America will be forced to fall in line. The ultimate goal is to economically unite North and South America into one inter-dependent bloc, so dependent on each other that none will start a fight with another. I assume he has a plan to bring Canada aboard, but Canada is aligning with China right now, so we’ll see how that works out.
Trump is the front man/order giver for the power and wealth behind him that seeks to establish a global inter-dependent economy.
Western Europe is mostly in NATO, which the US dominates and Trump’s been trying to bring India’s Modi over to his side, aka the side of the US, economically. Not militarily because the strategy is simple, all nations depend on each other economically even if they hate each other, and eating and the general welfare comes before bad feelings. Eventually people calm down and prefer thriving to suffering, and become allies against outside aggression. If enough nations are united economically, which is the basic idea behind the EU, and control most of the world’s economy, the rest will join out of necessity. The reason this didn’t work for the EU is because they had too many onerous rules and regulations. For instance, when Britain joined, they demanded Britain surrender their fishing grounds to all EU members. This was only one of the demands that resulted in Britain leaving the EU.
Trump is against excess regulation, he just wants balanced trade between nations and no fighting
First we had the Covid shutdown, now we have the US government shutdown, the shutdown of the world’s largest economy. Millions of government employees out of work, all the Federal parks shut down, all the non-government employees of all the different Federal services, not working, not getting paid. Not spending money, buying Chinese goods, right at the time that the Chinese need income the most to help their collapsing economy. Think this shutdown is just politics? I don’t. It can’t go on very long though, because of the government contracts for aircraft and munitions. If those companies aren’t paid on time, production stops.
About this shutdown, it’s the blocking of continued government funding of government functions and services, like the armed forces. It doesn’t block the money already allocated and already “in the bank” for the armed forces, etc., it blocks new payments that have been authorized but not yet paid. It immediately affects a lot of people, but the effect of the shutdown won’t get serious until the money already paid out, runs out. So I look to see this end before that, I think it’s just part of bringing down China’s economy. If it doesn’t, then China is behind it, because if it doesn’t, America will be harmed more than China. So that’s one to watch in the short term.
Now, if China’s economy collapses, so will Russia’s because Russia is mostly economically dependent now on selling oil to China. Most of the rest of Europe has cut Russia off from buying their energy, though with winter coming on, that may change. Russia is their primary natural gas supplier and Europeans need to heat their homes in winter.
This is as much up to date on the Globalist situation as I know, right now. More as it happens.
I agree.
It makes sense.
“It’s the economics, stupid!”
