As usual, I was very impressed with Berletic’s reasoning, although I don’t agree with every point.
If you have been watching the “usual suspects’” podcasts on the Trump’s on-again, off-again tariff madness, you will find Brian’s take on things refreshing. The title of the piece implies military action — which is, of course, frightening for us all. but I doubt it comes to that.
I need to watch this a couple more times and do some research— and I will provide an analysis tomorrow, .
Brian has provided the summary below:
▪️It should be remembered that President Trump's previous "bad" tariffs were not only kept in place under the Biden administration, they were expanded upon over the last 4 years indicating this is a bipartisan "deep state" agenda;
▪️Follow-up tariffs on not only China but now also Canada and Mexico are aimed at further permanently decoupling the US from China, not at negotiations or the stemming of "drugs" and "illegal immigrants," all of which are fabricated pretexts;
▪️Tariffs have precipitated a cost of living crisis in the US (coupled with a similar crisis in Europe linked to sanctions on Russia), a crisis both the Trump and Biden administrations are clearly indifferent to;
▪️The goal is very obviously to prepare for war with China, including a blockade of Chinese maritime shipping US moves against Panama and Greenland both serve as steps toward preparing;
▪️Under the Biden administration, the reorganization of the US Marine Corps into an anti-shipping force likewise served as preparation for this;
▪️China and its trading partners (virtually the rest of the world) need to realistically face this and prepare for this US plan to strangle multipolarism in the cradle - negotiations with the US must be done with this in mind, realizing the US has no intention of ever striking an actual deal, but is instead preparing the battlefield;
▪️China's ability to innovate and replace US imports as well as diversify and protect alternative exports elsewhere from US destabilization (both regime change installing anti-China client regimes and the backing of violence targeting Belt & Road Initiative routes) will determine the outcome of Washington's actual objectives;
As ever, you can support me and the boys, by buying us coffee — HERE.

It doesn't matter who the figurehead is in America, their solution for everything, is conflict, chaos, causing death & destruction. They don't have any ability to do any diplomacy on equal terms with anyone. Arrogance & ignorance towards anything not American is a national pastime.
Trump is dead weight, but still weighty.
Mark Sleboda hits it out of the park:
Does Trump actually have a plan to end the Ukraine conflict? It doesn’t appear so. Also, the new administration is actively backing a plan to forcibly displace Palestinians. In other words, ethnic cleansing. Will Trump soon be known as 'Genocide Don?'
