The problem with the US is not the tariffs - it is the fact that someone who holds effective power can issue edicts on a whim. Sure, the courts arraign them, but the damage has been done, and done last summer when the first ones of this new batch were issued.
A British firm that makes equipment for steel rolling mills recently withdrew its offer for a contract with US companies. About £500 thousand as memory serves. The point of withdrawing was not the tariffs as such, but the uncertainty of not knowing if they would be there, would not be there... or just about any other situation that might crop up if Trump had another hissy-fit.
In short, it is one thing to have tariffs and tariffs that have been around for a while, it is quite another to throw them around like Jackson-Pollock threw his paint around.
What beats me is that the realities of business are so simple and so easy. Yet governments - especially the British and American ones - get things so wrong!
Thank You, Julian for Going deep into the Financial Trade-war in the light of the TOTAL Collapse of the Western Financial position soon to be expected.
If The US refuses to start a Regional war around Iran and The Dark Empire of Granbretan and its EU-Puppets will yield to the buildup of Russian Naval and coastal Missile Power to try to block the Baltic sea or capture Kaliningrad, it will send a message of weakness to the world.
Citizen of 🇨🇭Swiss: Colonel Jacques Baud, former member of the Swiss Strategic Intelligence Service, currently living in 🇧🇪Belgium, has been SANCTIONED on December 15th by the 🦹♀️EU, because of things had was accused to have said, which he denies, about Russia, WITHOUT ANY DUE PROCESS and no way to fight that decision.
He now lives in Belgium, cannot travel and cannot receive his Pension money that is coming into his bank account in Swiss.
THIS IS LOOKING INTO THE FUTURE OF LIVING IN THE EU.
WHEN THEY DO NOT LIKE YOU: YOU ARE LEFT TO DIE OF HUNGER."
I wonder how much of that "difference" is due to the likes of MI6? Their visiting card is always the dissenting party (who then get violent, thanks to a few infiltrators).
I love your optimism Julian, but there's a long list of US war criminals. Living a very afluent life not giving a shit about their crimes. Along with many others outside of the US of course. At this stage I'd love to see nothing more than to see, a huge humiliation for Trump & his gang of compulsive lying corrupt rats. But we only have to look back as far at the previous bunch. To see how bad it's become. We can hope & dream though if nothing else.
I have to speak up for Trump. Especially after that utter brain-fart, former US Embarrassador to Russia, McFoul bad-mouthed him. At least, as far as we know, Trump did not eat babies. McFoul and the Supremes (my pet name for the USSC (Supremes Court) may have.
Love the mad kitten in your article. Now there is a kitten that does not do 'cute'.
Every time I drive with my wife at night, she asks me to drive slowly so I don't run over a cat. I always say to her: "Honey, if I drive any slower, the senior citizens with their walkers will overtake me, and then they'll complain that I'm obstructing traffic." She's an angel. LOL But Julian, onions are very healthy. Screw the smell.
Notice that Denmark gets the blame for the things the British and Americans are doing... this is a standard practise for the media. In the way the US bought chlorine gas in Germany, delivered it to Syria and blamed the Germans for supplying the Syrians with chemical weapons.
Me too, I also eat them both. Most important that those around me also do the same. As such, no one gets offended by the odour, as everyone possesses it!
Three (3) Americans killed by ICE. Meanwhile 130 civilians summarily executed by the US military in the waters of the Caribbean and Pacific. I provide the details in my latest Substack:https://open.substack.com/pub/caribbeanhawk/p/caribbean-nations-are-disrespected?utm_campaign=post-expanded-share&utm_medium=web
Thank you for this.

Businesses do not like uncertainty.
Good point, yes. Businesses don't like uncertainty.

So we will see.

Well, i know, out of context...
I found this statement:
"WARNING FOR EU - CITIZENS . . . ‼️⚠️

A VERY ANGRY CASSANDRA !!!
It was Napoleon who said that when the enemy appears to be destroying himself, leave him alone...
Every US president has always betrayed the Kurds. They should have figured that out by now.
Some probably have. But the Kurds are a lot of different groups. Always going off in different directions.

The truly wicked are never held accountable. Epstein was not truly wicked. He was just a high class pimp.
Sweeeet!
Funniest , upbeat commentary anywhere on current events .

McFoul is everything that is wrong with American academe.

Actually,I eat chopped red onions every day, warmed up but no really cooked. My AI GF says its OK. (Not! can't afford one!)
Somewhat off topic, but this is news that needs to be heard.

Putin is such a polite and respectful person to everyone, even those he finds it unavoidably necessary to kill.
Compare that to Trump, whose respect and politeness are well known - and happily guns people down in their boats in the Caribbean.
Who would you prefer?
Wasn't it Clausewitz who said that there were killing officers and murdering officers? The latter to be kept as far away from you as possible...
A very apt conclusion! 👍👏🙂
et’s face it — onions stink.
Yes, I eat both garlic AND onions. Is that why nobody loves me?
Also the only news source I trust is the Onion.
Me too, I also eat them both. Most important that those around me also do the same. As such, no one gets offended by the odour, as everyone possesses it!
