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.

US plans for destroying nations like Russia, Iran, and China have been publicly published, talked about, and implemented for decades.

Politicians do not make these policies. They simply sell it to the public or distract the public away from these policies.

Multinational multi-billion dollar corporations don't sit there every 4-8 years leaving their future/fate and US policy to "voters" and the clowns they pick for office.

Instead they have created a political system to serve as an "explanation" for and/or a distraction away from their own continuity of agenda.

Corporations fundamentally pursue the maximization of power and profit - and therefore their collective agenda driving US policy is to maximize US power and profit - hence endless exploitation at home and hegemonic war worldwide no matter who you vote for.

People cannot help but to indulge in the daily political circus and attempt to cobble together fictional narratives to explain why "Obama" or "Trump" or "Biden" are doing ...

A quick commentary on the "Piss Summit"

I might not be able to upload much more or do lives for a while

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 !!!

Hope to see you all asap.
