This guy is going to burn the usa into the ground.. world should aling to help it make it so...
Blue MAGA thinks NATO is coming to save them, lol. I am forever amazed at the lost irony on libs, pissing themselves over Trump tariffs and Greenland annexation in the context of Obama and Biden surgically severing EU-Russia relations, orchestrating a coup in Ukraine, and Biden coming back to finish the job by entrenching Europe in war and blowing up their brand new gas pipeline. The US is NATO, motherfuckers. The second a European head of state even thinks about dedollarizing, a Democrat appears behind them to drive a stake up their asshole. And yet libs are CONVINCED that Canada will invoke Article 4 on their behalf later this week. Imagine overdosing on copium as your supposed saviors are laughing their asses off at your party imploding. Unbelievable.
25% tariff on cocaine 
Colombia is going through a very hard time right now, I hope all is well for them.
made me realize I wish headlines did not just say 25% tarrifs because to the average reader that sounds innocuous and even to someone who follows this stuff I don’t know how that could affect people in Colombia, except badly. This should be broken down in tangible negative impacts this will have and this goes for all tarrif related news. Come to think of it, the news seems to have no trouble doing this when the tariffs will negatively impact the global north.
Earlier in the day, Colombian President Gustavo Petro announced he had blocked two US military flights carrying migrants heading toward the country and called on the United States to establish better protocols in its treatment of migrants. Petro also left the door open to receiving repatriated migrants traveling on civilian planes.
God I hate the US so much
He's still open to taking whoever the US deports provided they're on civilian aircraft, but that apparently isn't inhumane enough so they get tariffs

Mexico’s position as well. Just not fascist enough
Somebody should try explaining to Trump that you can't be the world empire and be isolationist at the same time.
Or don't, and let him speed run the collapse of hegemony.
I read that Colombia slapped some retaliatory tariffs on USA in response lol
cool, can't afford flowers anymore.
Colombia is the #1 exporter of coffee beans to the US.
do we still get most caffeine from decaffeinating coffee beans? that could fuck up a lot of treats
Yeah it's a basically free byproduct of making decaf
That means an immediate price increases on oil, coffee and fruit, and anything made with oil, coffee or fruit.
This is amazing. I thought US hegemony was going to drag on for another twenty years, but we're really fucking blowing it all up.

Yeah - but Trump is gonna invade Greenland and stick the flag on it.
Death, as always, to America. 
I want China to hit the griddy on Amerikkkas corpse

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
-
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
-
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
-
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.
