Revolut°Permanente🚩 Trump, American Revisionism, and the Twilight of the West: Beyond his chaotic style and apparent disregard for doctrinal coherence, Donald Trump identifies and articulates a fracture within the international system : American hegemony, born after World War II and consolidated following the fall of the Soviet Union, is no longer sustainable. More than a rupture, his… revolutionpermanente.fr/Trump- 🚩RP #Trump #AmericanHegemony #InternationalRelations #GlobalPolitics #Revisionism

Trump blows up the notion his Canada talk was just a fleeting fancy
There's been no shortage of speculation about how U.S. President Donald Trump's comments about Canada might impact the federal election. It's now time to start asking the longer-term question about how it will impact Canada beyond Monday's election. An awkward G7 will offer an early litmus...

TechCrunch: Chinese shopping app Taobao joins DHgate in Top 5 on US App Store. “The Chinese e-commerce marketplace app DHgate, which is now the No. 2 free iPhone app in the U.S., isn’t the only one that’s oddly benefiting from President Trump’s tariffs on U.S. imports from China. Another Chinese shopping app, Taobao, has now also entered the Top 5 as of Thursday.”

Gizmodo: Beijing Responds to Tariffs by Outing Alleged NSA Hackers by Name. “China has named three individuals working at the National Security Agency it claims hacked computer systems for the Asian Winter Games earlier this year. The country rarely publishes the names of alleged nation-backed hackers, even though the United States routinely outs actors linked to China.”

If we depend on other countries, it's not healthy either. We have a history with foreign entities: the British, the Japanese, and the Portuguese; they colonized us and exploited us for resources. Then, China's presence encroaches into our EEZ. Philippine politicians are claiming Sabah. It seems to me that we have no one to trust, not even ourselves. It seems to me that it's best for the government to just go with the flow, enjoy the world, maintain our stability, and engage in politics and democracy while doing what is best at the moment, including being friends with both China and the US, Australia, and the countries you mentioned. Yes, better training with them than doing nothing. We are a relatively new country, lacking in many resources, knowledge, and ideologies, and we have been exploited. The local politicians are also corrupt. We just do what we are capable of at the moment, being ourselves.

Sometimes, I have the suspicion that they are actually being racist, exhibiting an overly patriotic mindset in which they only want their country to dominate. They use "the decline of America" as justification for threatening other countries, employing tariffs against China as a means of control. They will use any mistake made by China to justify everything they want to do. They claimed that China implemented reciprocal tariffs, and then they used that as an excuse to increase the tariffs to 140%. I must believe that "Make America Great Again" may be a sign of one entity's maximalism. Meanwhile, China and the CCP have already told the world that they are there to prosper together, providing opportunities for other countries to develop. If they truly believe in freedom of speech, they should also listen to Chinese officials who state that "a trade war has no winner.

Imagine being a low-quality and overly narcissistic leader. "Accept our USD or feel our weapon!" Meanwhile, China says, "We have finally found ways to adapt to your market in your local currency. #EconomicInfluence #GlobalTrade #CurrencyWars #Geopolitics #InternationalRelations #TradeAgreements #GlobalEconomy #FinancialPower #DollarHegemony #EconomicSanctions #MarketAdaptation #CurrencyExchange #GlobalMarkets #EconomicSovereignty #FinancialInnovation
