It’s just as bad in every other country in western Europe, as in France above. And in Britain, the migrant crime explosion is so bad, members of the middle class are in tense meetings with British parliamentary leaders, who are sharply aware of how much trouble they are in.
Shetland Islanders are gearing up for battle in Nordic battle dress. So, it’s going to be funny as well.

I am looking for those Trump’s Economic Triumphs...
She really hit it out of the park this time! We can only hope that this uprising - for Europe and here - is the real thing.

But little political power and no military power.
It’s the latter point that’s the most important. Unless the army decides to unite with the people, we’ll be seeing a lot of Tiananmen Square moments. 🙁
That’s one of the best articles I have read in a long time. Had to read it twice because it was so enjoyable.
This is closely lined up with

Excellent fact-based analysis.
I had not heard of Elizabeth until now.
I signed up.
YES, there was foreign interference in the 2016 and 2020 elections.
Except it was not the Russians - it was the rump British empire in London, MI6 and their WEF partners (with the help of their agents in the DC deep-state)
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.
The men?
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.
