Expectation: Dramatically increasing the price of foreign metals will force more domestic metal production.

What happened instead: Businesses that rely on buying metal going bankrupt and ceasing operations.

Yes, let's start wars with multiple countries while we are failing to even pay our own troops, truly a big brain move.

Socialism doesn't work, yet we have to constantly embargo/sanction/bomb socialist countries to keep them from rising while at the same time having to throw billions to other capitalists to keep them from sinking.

Truly no other choice. Can't let Russia win in Ukraine or else Russia is then going to sail their entire army through the North Sea to conquer Britain next. Call of Duty plots have taught me as much.

The ASEAN countries joining seems like a big deal since they were supposed to be the US's alternatives to China's manufacturing. The only other big alternative is Mexico who is also drifting closer to BRICS.

"It's just for fun bro. It's not like we know that the Empire's design in Star Wars was explicitly based off the Axis powers, and that we are subtly attempting to normalize pro-fascist sentiment and aesthetics under the guise of fandom for a fictional entity."

Mad respect to for Niger, Mali and Burkina Faso for resisting colonialism. All these nations demonstrate actually lifting yourself up by the bootstraps.

The US now added Japan to it's currency manipulation watchlist, lol.

Honestly some really solid stuff happening as off late. End of petrodollar, Thailand and Malaysia want to join BRICS, DPRK and Russia entering a de-facto military alliance, Vietnam mending ties with China and strengthening them Russia.

Imagine the US pushing Europe into war with Russia and then at the last second is like nah, you got this, keep buying our overpriced hardware and you'll be fine.

Nazis: Marxism is bad because it's jewish.

Liberals: Marxism is bad because it hates jews.

Marxists: Bruh.

Perhaps so, but now Russia no longer has McDonald's or Pizza Hut.
