Come on, civil war in Europe was inevitable. The New World Order Globalist Oppressors built a system that is failing so hard, not one sector of any of their captured economies is working properly.
Europe is in a recession directly as a result of the bone-headed policies. The working people of every country are fit to be tied and September 13th is looking to be the day of days of protest in the U.K. with millions on the street.
Instead of the pierced and purple-haired scavenger class littering the cities with their puffy bodies and wrecked minds, these are the people who make the country work. And they have considerable economic power.

that was one great article.
His talk about a certain section of the british aristocracy being really depraved —whose depravity goes back to the slave trade— reminds me of stories I’ve read of ben franklin dabbling in england with a group of really depraved british aristocracy.
Trump has been POTUS for barely 7 months and world economics has been shaken to its core. Trillions of dollars new investments in the US are already pouring in and Trump isn’t done yet. All the doomsayers, pundits and Trump is always wrong crowd have all been proven wrong. Trump could well end the Ukrainian war and already a new balance of power is forming in the Middle East. Europe is facing civil war as the WEF types are finding the peasants are not willing to bow to the elites. We are entering a new era where the US benefits the most. Reagan’s vision of the US becoming a “shining city on a hill” could soon be fulfilled.
It was the Brit’s Opium Wars in the 19th century. Fentanyl wars now. I hope we bomb the narco-states.
I have no doubt.
They are promises of investment in the U.S., not treaty signed obligations. And zero has actually arrived in American enterprises yet.

Agree.
But within days in early July that trump’s big beautiful bill was passed, the stock market performed what is known as a golden cross. That’s when the thirty day average passes above the 90 moving average. Typically, when that happens the stock market over the next 6 months goes up 30%. The stock market is on track to do just that. That’s before the first interest rate cuts come this fall.
Why?
Because investors think that all those investments are going to happen. They also think its bad business to bet against Trump. Trump himself designed the big beautiful bill so that it would cause a huge surge in the economy—not this year but next year around the time of the next election.
So yeah, you’re doing a good job of looking out the side windows of the car in motion. Now look out the front windows.
But what about our democracy in Ukraine?
The men?
“The stories on FR stink of the Kremlin.”
SMH. Well, something sure stinks!
Well, if it’s about taking sides, I’m with her.
If it’s about reasoning that I can present in my own words, own so to speak, it’s another matter.
Economics is right that international trade, like trade in general, is mutually beneficial.
However national security is not mentioned. Would you buy all your weapons from your enemy simply because he is the low-cost producer? That would be insane.
If you don’t mention national security explicitly, then you are implicitly assuming peace. I’d say there is peace between Florida and Georgia, and between France and England. However, our planet is not universally at peace.
We need manufacturing for national defense. It’s not just tanks and missiles. We need to produce our own food, with our own farmers, farm equipment, computers, pharmaceuticals and other items.
I remember that the US was fine when we produced 60% of our oil, but not when we produced 40%. As a rule of thumb, I’d say we need to produce at least 60% of most everything we consume.
International trade refers to the movement of goods across borders. It increases competition and generally that is a good thing as it keeps prices down. Frank at GM competes indirectly with Friedrich at BMW. That’s ok.
It’s very different when an American construction crew competes with a Mexican construction crew to build houses in the US. Likewise, it’s different when the guy or gal in the next cubicle is not an American citizen. This level of economic integration is an attack on Americans and, indirectly, on America. How long can America continue when overrun by people who are not Americans?
I don’t think we should be fortress America, as though we were our own planet. However, we need opportunities to band together. We need to be Americans and proud of it. We are a free people. In most cases I will freely buy American. However, if I conclude that a company or union is taking me for granted, I may buy foreign.
The economy is showing the stock market is not main street.
The biggest U.S. companies and those with the biggest stock prices (by p/e) are global companies with huge amounts of business and revenue that is not from Americans. 67% of Apple, 51% of Alphabet, 62% of Meta, 53% of Nvidia, 51% of Microsoft 51%, Qualcomm 90+%, Intel 70%, 51% Tesla income is not from U.S. revenue. Those companies, which comprise a large weighted share of the stock market, are doing better than main street U.S.
You could say the “globalists” are better represented by the stock market compared to main street USA.
Those kind of projects take years to come to fruition if they do at all. I was reading an article that a number of “deals” Biden did and even Trump were backed out on for many reasons. I think Trump has done some good but I would like to see him laser focus on the US Economy.
