Trump has gone from a President opposed to never ending wars to an Authoritarian thug who embraces military strikes.
It’s not ‘America First’, it’s always been ‘Trump First’.
The true danger of Trump illegally kidnapping Maduro is the message it sends to Putin and Xi about how the Rules Based Order is now a new multipolar Superstate reality where might is Right.
The difference between Genocide and War Crime tends to be whether or not the person committing the violence believes God is on their side.
After Trump’s attempted assassination, he believes God saved him.
He’s building a white Christian super state that encompasses North America, South America and Greenland.
That’s why he wants Canada as the 51st State.
That’s why he’s illegally kidnapped Maduro and seized their oil assets.
That’s why he’s threatening Panama Canal.
That’s why he’s threatening Greenland.
That’s why he’s threading Cuba.
That’s why he’s threatening Iran.
That’s why he’s threatening Columbia.
He is building the white Christian super state linked in with Corporate hegemonic structures that ultimately benefit Trump.
He’s a gangster President, a Criminal SuperVillain who is happy to employ orange fascism when push inevitably comes to shove.
Trump is the worst thing to happen to Democracy since Rupert Murdoch, Nigel Farage and Hitler.
The example he is setting is obvious with the Ukraine, his peace ‘solution’ is effectively that Ukraine surrender to Putin and he keeps what he has gained from an illegal war WHILE America invests in the rebuild and mineral extractions industry.
The message can’t be clearer to Xi, Trump believes he can do whatever he likes in his back yard, and Putin can do anything he likes in his back yard, but Xi can’t…
US strikes deal with Taiwan to cut tariffs, boost chip investment
Taiwan vowed Friday to remain the world’s “most important” AI chipmaker, after reaching a trade deal with the United States that will reduce tariffs on the island’s shipments and increase Taiwanese investment on US soil.
Taiwan is a powerhouse in producing chips, a critical component in the global economy, but the United States wants more of the technology made there.
The agreement “will drive a massive reshoring of America’s semiconductor sector”, the US Commerce Department said.
Under the deal, Washington will lower tariffs on Taiwanese goods to 15%, down from a 20% “reciprocal” rate meant to address US trade deficits and practices it deems unfair.
Taiwanese Premier Cho Jung-tai praised negotiators Friday for “delivering a well-executed home run” after months of talks.
..Trump is goading Xi and looking to have 40% of Taiwan’s chips manufactured in America.
America’s military now operate at such a high level of technology that they can exert overwhelming force on specific weak points, like Maduro’s kidnapping, like the missile interference in protecting Israel, like the Iranian nuclear site strikes – Trump can order his military to do dangerous things without much risk to themselves or their assets which is a maximising influence on all other issues.
People Trump targets are genuinely frightened, be they domestic or foreign.
He’s already threatening the use of the Insurrection Act to send the military into Minnesota FFS, while demanding Greenland, while threatening the Fed Chair with a trumped up corruption charge!!!
Trump’s mask has slipped.
He has every intention of using the full muscle of the American State to get whatever he believes is good for that State (while getting a side hustle taste for himself of course).
Columbia, Greenland, Canada, Panama Canal, Cuba and Iran should be worried.
Increasingly having independent opinion in a mainstream media environment which mostly echo one another has become more important than ever, so if you value having an independent voice – please donate here.
Hard to invade yourself, aka, China invading its island province known in the West as Taiwan. Otherwise, Trump/USA is doing whatever it needs to do to contain, if not destroy, the three biggest threats to US hegemony – China, Russia and Iran.
The unfortunate thing here for New Zealand is that we’ll eventually get thrown into their toxic plans just like Europe, parts of Asia/Middle East and South America already have. Even worse is that we’ll happily champion sacrificing ourselves for US hegemony because despite all the US-led calamity in the world, we will take the USA over China, Russia or Iran, any day of the week…such is the hold that our bought and paid for mainstream media and bought and paid for political system, has over the majority of us!
Trump is one of the most dangerous politicians since Hitler. As his niece has pointed out he has no moral compass, therefore everything is transactional.
