A thought. After watching a lot of Trump the last few days, it’s become somewhat obvious he doesn’t understand how tariffs work, including the fundamental principle that any payment of tariffs occurs at the import barriers by the importer.

It seems he thinks they’re paid by the manufacturer.

Obviously the cost of “tarrifing” is achievable only by each level of the product distribution applying that cost.

There’s also this declaration of cartels as terrorist organisation’s. It doesn’t mean much as the idea of conducting kinetic operations in Mexico without them being viewed as the tip of the spear, will cause a blowback effect of cartel members in the USA conducting coordinated attacks.

I guess you could always just pump hellfire missiles into “threats” as they head to the airport.

Fun poll: The Next and True Prime Minister of the Kingdom

With an average of 1.43 years / Prime Minister in office
"Larry The Cat" , Chief Mouser to the Cabinet Office since 2011, has survived all of his servants in office of 10 Downing Street, because cats RULE !
Today marks His Royal Mouse- jesty´s :

15 years
5 Months &
5 Days

that Larry has been in office serving the people and capital.

Therefore I poll that Larry will continue to serve as the true covert Prime Minister of the UK.
How long will Larry condone this new servant named Andrew Burnham?
Will he (Burnham) survive the average if rounded 1.5 years or will Larry have his hat too?

Larry will survive Burnham
Larry will get fed up and migrate to a safer country (Serbia or Russia)
Larry will throw everyone out and declare himself by God´s grace the new King of England and the Commonwealth
The Deep State will get rid of Larry

British interests in Middle East may become military target for Iran — TASS source

A high-ranking Iranian source says this could be the case if London joins the US war against the Islamic Republic

MOSCOW, July 22. /TASS/. British interests in the Middle East region may become a legitimate military target for Iran if London joins the US war against the Islamic Republic, a high-ranking Iranian source has told TASS.

"If media reports about the decision of the new British Prime Minister [Andy Burnham] to participate in the US war against Iran are confirmed, then, in addition to political and legal consequences, all British interests in the region will be added to the list of targets of Iran's powerful armed forces," the agency's source said.

The source also recalled that "Britain has already once experienced the implementation of Iran's threats during the 40-day war."

My Fellow Duranianss.

Yes, it's happened again. I have been assaulted by a vicious Malware Bot Virus or whatever 911 Socks is and this thing is bad !

However I wanted to give you a "peace" of my mind concerning the "Piece" or piss, as Elensky calls it, as this thing fell to pieces before it even happened.

Coincidentally on the very SAME DAY this crap happened Saudi Arabia DROPPED the US Petrodollar as a buying currency and NO ONE absolutely NO ONE is talking about this fact anywhere !!!
