The NGO racket in the EU must be deep

You are already seeing the future of warfare to some extent in Ukraine. Lots of drones, even with some autonomous piloting. I don't think the wars of the future look like the wars of the past. Elon might not be far off...

Not sure about this sector...defense seems to be ripe for disruption. Looking to invest in tomorrow's winners over yesterday's winners

This might be a sign capital is leaving crypto broadly and Bitcoin is just the last holdout...

This doesn't sound very good...

This morning provided a great opportunity to buy from hysterical people

Here's another one: if Canada cuts off oil to the USA, then Ontario and Quebec lose their own oil supply (see Line 9)!

The U.S. is not being isolationistic. It just wants everyone else to start chipping in for their own defense, to uphold classically liberal values (like free speech). It will use carrots and sticks to achieve that...

Western Canada Select Trades at $60 a barrel. We can afford to pay a 10% tariff on that. If Canada decides it no longer wants to export oil to the USA, it will be catastrophic for Canada (not the USA). Unlike the Gulf countries, Canada's options to export oil are far limited. Alberta is a long ways away from any ports and Canada's environmentalist nutjobs prevented major pipelines from being built ...

This is a big deal: Temu, etc will not be exempt from tariffs this time around

LOL !

The bottom line is this: the post-WW2 America that bent over backwards to fix other countries' problems is gone. Either deal with it or be hysterical for the next 4-12 years. Good luck.

We still have free speech. In the UK/Canada, politicians want you arrested for "misinformation/disinformation" like saying covid leaked from a lab or Hunter's laptop was real. Oh wait, that "misinformation" actually came true...

LOL...ok, you have no problems in Canada. It is a land of prosperity. Good luck.

The economy is of course going to be great when deficits are 7% of GDP--WW2 levels. Bidenomics!

4 years? I think we're looking at different graphs. Don't be like the Europeans. Remember, the first step to fixing a problem is to acknowledge you have one.

This Canadian gets it:

Are you sure ?

Covid occurred only in Trump's final year. Trump began his trade war in January 2018, 2 years before covid. No inflation to be seen in that time. If you want to sell to the economy containing world's largest consumers, you'll have to do many things. Here are some places to start: -- Fix your migration issues (and don't send them across the border to us) -- Spend lots more on defense -- Stop over-regulating our companies -- Stop censoring free speech, especially trying to force our companies to do so etc
