Generally they’re by type of good, IIRC. So, a grocery store can still sell eating apples, but not computers or phones called that.

I’m not sure it was tilted away from them in the first place, but Trump being insane isn’t hurting.

Because it wasn’t ever actually about that, of course.

Congratulations, you guys got the illiberal society you dreamed of. Enjoy.

Poor kids, though.

Yep, it’s pretty ironic. That just means anybody could get sucked into ethnic cleansing bullshit, given a few decades.

Most investors are normal-ish people, even.

The weird part is that anyone outside of China was buying up Chinese real estate in the first place. The oversupply issue has been on the radar for years and years.

I like Venezuela better, because the CIA probably wouldn’t have been so easily caught.

Lethal kinetic strike? This entire policy is about showboating violence, why would you use a euphemism?

Excellent, that would be intangible and unverifiable. We can present an unlimited amount and live it up on sweat and tears of American workers.

In practice, businesses will make that decision. He can probably move the US to autarky at the expense of 3000 dollar Iphones and coats you have to save up for like in the 70’s, but nobody outside the US will be interested in either.

I’m guessing that these Jews always understood anybody could be sucked into fascism. The ones that were willing to reduce the Holocaust and WWII to German ethnicity aren’t going to have a problem reducing Israel-Palestine to Palestinian ethnicity either.

Add ethnicities to that list, which is the main driver here, although religious Zionism is present and growing. The Nazis weren’t particularly pious either,

Almost certainly similar in spirit, regardless of what their Western fans like to project.

It’s a pretty symmetrical situation, even if they have different skin colours. If only we could treat it that way (edit: and then the capability gap wouldn’t be there either).

Most of Trump’s economics ideas are nonesense. Like the general idea of the US making all it’s own stuff, but also exporting goods a lot. Exporting in exchange for what?

If they own an amount of land farmable for soybeans they’re worth at least a couple.

Orban isn’t buying, though - Russia sends it cheaper.

Oh shit, TIL that’s not how you spell that. Fixed.

That’s a bit rich. A rising gold price is a sign people are expecting trouble. That happens a lot even when civilisations aren’t collapsing.

Looking at facts other than that, bad stuff is going to continue to come, but nothing directly world-ending (yes, including climate change).

Basically, this is a tabloid selling “end is nigh” stuff.

The trick there is that there’s always a new normal that comes, and that food is heavy (per value) and hard to use for hastily arranged or large purchases. It’s a decent guess that you’ll eventually be able to spend your gold coins if fiat becomes worthless.

Buy it during the apocalypse is still my personal plan, though.

Impunity.

Really, that’s the main reason why they’re different from other places built on someone else’s land. There’s no incentive not to bomb everyone you don’t like, with the unconditional backing of a distant giant.

You can’t expect them to go “cold turkey” off of bombing, they need to ween themselves off with alternative targets. /s
