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.

The cost of heat: Why Europe’s economy is melting

From damaged roads to soaring power prices, scorching summer weather is exacting a heavy economic toll on the EU

> The blow is increasingly being felt at the macroeconomic level, according to Carsten Brzeski, ING's global head of macro research. Heat waves have evolved from isolated weather events into a key economic variable, shaking the bloc’s business activity in ways reminiscent of the Covid-19 lockdowns. “Thermometers, it turns out, have become a leading indicator of economic growth,” he wrote last month, warning that heat waves now pose “a new downside risk to European growth.”

> Brzeski said Germany, despite its relatively mild climate, could rank third in Europe for cumulative heat-related economic losses by 2030 because its infrastructure, housing stock...

Australia Melts Down Over China’s Pacific Missile Test, But Why The Double Standards?!

China just tested an intercontinental ballistic missile in the Pacific Ocean with a dummy warhead — and gave advance notice. Yet Australia’s government and media erupted in outrage, calling it “destabilizing” and a threat to the “Ocean of Peace.”

Meanwhile, the United States routinely launches unarmed ICBMs in the same waters, including tests in March and May 2026, with barely a whisper from Canberra or Western outlets.

In this episode, we unpack the glaring double standards. Why does one Chinese test trigger formal protests and sensational headlines, while America’s frequent launches are ignored? Is this measured security concern or recycled scaremongering?

Special guest Professor Warwick Powell joins me to expose the historical anxieties, media bias, and strategic interests driving the reaction. He explains how this fits into a bigger story of shifting power in the Pacific ...
