you can touch someone who’s openly in favor of genocide in Xinjiang or Ukraine.

social media disinformation making smears in favour of warmongering is quite new, but extreme statism if not paid agents. The high divisiveness is part of the mind control techniques that are making most of the audience internalize evil. Those were not of certain effectiveness in 2010.

 

Link is Cleveland cliffs closing 2 iron mines. Demand from Canada is a factor.

Nucor, US Steel, and Cleveland Cliffs have all forecasted bigger losses for next quarter despite the extortion pricing that tariffs give them. Narrative is that steel using US manufacturing will not take off as promised.

Canadian policy needs to make sure that damage is maximized.

Israel's genocidal ambitions were always there. Knowing the absolute control over US rulership and their ability to maintain genocide support through advances in mind control was not known in 2010.

Biden made some meek complaints about 2000lb bombs being used in dense urban environment. Israel had to put up with a couple of weeks delay on more of them. They signed contract in 2010. Maybe DNC could have chosen Bernie instead of HRC (just kidding).

The foresight that using F35s for genocide could make some future US politician uppity.

Every flight requires inputting a password from Lockheed to use their electronic systems mentioned in article.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 17 hours ago

and it has ultra poor flight time such that maintenance, and part replacements, are ultra frequent. Wouldn't surprise me if 3 flights is a maximum without Lockheed consultant required word.

AI is a big help here. Including at current tech level. But why bother the expense or judicially-complaining process of arresting them, if you can arrange their next Amazon electronics order to explode?

Climate change can also contribute to instability and conflict when water and food shortages trigger increasing competition for resources, internal and cross-border tensions, or mass migrations.

Well summarized. The question is does the civilian/political leadership like having these problems, in that it is an opportunity for more wars, and leveraging the political division over immigration?

While damage to military bases/ports matters, damage to everyone else, should matter more.

IMO, it's 50/50 if world can win the trade war US is setting on them. Extreme cowardice from world leading up to April 2, but people are boycotting US products, and shifting military procurement. Even if they limit counter tariffs, US sales should dive, and US will face higher prices. The 50/50 part is whether manufacturing moves out of US as a response. US automakers making wrong decision on Canada for instance is a fairly large market that would see them face same fate as Tesla. Boeing is sure to dive.

US generating hate is sure to make its economy contract. Just a matter of how much.

only clue that this is satire

Meanwhile, Tesla's stock surged 17% on news that Musk had threatened to send all arsonists to Mars as "unwitting beta testers for our oxygen deprivation experiments."

Tesla's stock did not go up 17%.

article does say Ford "is keeping electricity export tax on the table". Everyone cowering to Trump seems to be the tactic for now for whole world. April 2 reaction is the important time to see if they stand up.

I’m really curious what happened during Ford’s meeting with Lutnick.

There was article detailing that posted here. It was extremely embarassing. Good cop Lutnick making sweet nothing promises that bad cop Trump is not bound to. Ford looking naive for praising it, but again, reaction april 2 all that matters.

Russia likes the new guy in America

US empire hatred of Russia is not changed. Russia can meet its objectives in Ukraine without Trump speeding it up, in exchange for not defending Iran for Israel's benefit, or getting free nuclear power stations it controls. China is already on a delete America program. US isolating itself into being useless to the world, makes resetting it and all of the fools who support its debt, a path for a new global marshall plan led by China. North Korea is the one who can help the cheapest. Again, car or container sized works too.

Canada is increasing divisiveness with US enemies list. Bold strategy, Cotton.

Third, debt load won’t mean very much if they have the kind of political will that would produce.

The US is a bank masquerading as a country. Bond vigilantes are real, and crediblity for more debt weak.

killing thousands of civilians with a first strike would make us the bad guy.

Permean or other oil basins would kill little while destroying US energy sector. Question is whether it is true that "we will never become 51st state". Maybe that means we accept the total economic destruction of our country, and all demaning subjugation short of accepting territorial rule. Instead it could mean that all defense of our sovereignty is pursued, instead of gaslighting temporary resistance like Chuck Schumer.

 

What is Canada/Ontario doing?

 

Best technology for coal electricity capture costs $10/watt (close to new on budget nuclear plants), and only captures 65% of emissions. A better "free" climate strategy would be to put them in "backup peaker" mode for renewables and run them at far less than 35% of year.

DAC can work only if price of carbon is $300/ton ($3/gallon gasoline). Still, 100% renewables is cheapest path to avoiding those taxes, but afterwards, DAC can hope to pay for itself.

 

He should also put export tariffs on electricity to lower demand/price of PQ electricity (or subsidize their electricity from tariff proceeds) that is main cost of aluminum production. Buying a strategic reserve of Aluminum will keep factories open, and allow better deals/pricing for "allies" or new friends, or later dumping on US when they end the trade war.

GOP support for Trump are calling his extortionist war "negotiating for fair trade".

Obviously, protectionist survival policies are needed, regardless of WTO rules, USMCA, which are being broken under false national emergency pretexts.

Military cooperation with US needs to end, until they stop calling extortion trade fairness.

 

Also, this is permanent. April 2nd will have reciprocal tariffs, but not on USMCA compliant trade.

What Canadian US trade is not USMCA compliant?

 

Canada unfairly, being totally taken advantage of, defends the USA from missiles and aircraft attack through Arctic, with its early warning RADAR system, possible secret missile bases, and expensive substandard F35 purchases and other aircraft donations.

When US declares a fake "national emergency" to break its trade agreements, it is an act of war. "There is nothing Canada/Mexico can do to address the fake national emergency, and the small trade imbalance is unfair, and we can use economic extortion to take Canada's sovereignty" is a rulership intent on war.

Canada needs to remove US military alliance today. It needs to stop following US propaganda to demonize the adversaries the US tells us to believe are Canada's adversaries. Normal humanist peaceful relations with Russia means Russia is no threat to Canada, and NORAD only serves US empire's global extortion with "veil of immunity". Whenever immunity from blowback is shown to be a false shield, then history starts on that day and "they only hate us for our freedom" is propagandized.

Official preparations for better trade with China and Mexico need to be started today. Leadership visits to those countries needed today. If EU wants to help instead of cowering in fear, they need to send their leaders to visit Canada.

Both Canada and EU need to take stance that US must pay significantly more for NATO's assistance in projecting US empire, instead of tolerating the BS that they are the ones that must pay 150% more for privilege of US diminishing them all, as the US has done with Ukraine war.

 

with bonus threat of increasing tariffs if any retaliation...

Charge US $30B per month for NORAD access. If Russia can strike Permean basin with nuclear ICBM then that can help their negotiations with ending war on Ukraine. Fund UBI based on NORAD fee.

Eliminate tariffs on China. Sanctions on Russia. US industry that says it will make long term expansion investments in US to cut off Canadian supplies, gets immediate China contracts in response. Or make comensurate "lease fee" for NORAD higher.

Fentanyl and immigration is complete BS. This is a declaration of war based on manufacturing a false "national emergency" pretext. Any response that doesn't treat it as a war declaration by US is pathethic weakness and politician/Canadian treason to their CIA masters.

Make the US beg to treat Canada much better than it was treated before these tariff declarations. USA collapse is necessary for Canada to prevail. Not begging to let Trump declare you a sufficient sycophantic bitch, which won't happen.
