Es ist nicht verwunderlich, dass #TESCREAL in der Form von #Longtermism nun auch in den deutsprachigen Medien Einzug hält.
Die mächtigen #US #ThinkTanks, die durch Spenden von Milliardären wie #ElonMusk, einem bekannten Verfechter von Longtermism gespeist werden, sind international vernetzt.

Ich hatte vor einem Jahr in einem kurzen Thread auf 2 ausgezeichnete Podcasts zum Thema hingewiesen:

In einem anderen, schwer...

I don't like #Putin, of course. He's a mass murderer & war criminal. And has turned european security into a nightmare. Plus lots of other reasons.

So pls. keep that in mind when I say this:

Putin has absolutely outplayed #Trump at every level.

He has shown (with proof) the #Europeans/ #EU that the #USA is clearly no reliable partner for them, will never come to their defense & is willing to pressure them to act against their interests.

This has dimished the #US.

Forgot to mention at least one important caveat.

To some analysts current data doesn't suggest an inflationary pressure as a result of the #Trump #tariffs but, given the sorry state of the #US #economy right now, rather a #MarginSqueeze with (more) #layoffs & mass #bankruptcy as a result.

That of course would not be helpful at all, meaning a jump from the frying pan into the fire.

Others even foresee a #stagflation, combining the worst of two worlds.

Anyway, change will come. 🌎

All I can tell you is that this is like a super-vulcano ready to blow up ANY time.

What I can't tell you though is, how far the #risk has already spread through the #GlobalEconomy.

Have, for instance, European #Banks again been bying up mixed risk #securities from the #US like hell, or has their past experience made them more careful ?

I don't know.

Maby the @EUCommission , @ecb can tell us all more about this ?!

oh shit .. 05:15 in the morning

just spend a night researching #US #consumer houshold #debt, without noticing

at least you can profit of my stupidity because I'm telling now that the world is clearly headed into a 2008 style global #EconomicCrisis

epicenter will again be the #USA

this time it isn't going to be just a #mortage default crisis but a everything default (#AutoLoans, #CreditCard, #StudentDebt, ..)

and the trigger is #tariffs & #doge adding to an already financially hurting nation

#Project2025 calls for a 25%-40% reduction to the #US #population over the next 4 years.

That's why we are seeing the idiocy we are seeing right now.

#Trump is actually trying to kill us.

Trump has never made so many excuses for someone as he has for Putin.

#Putin is demanding that #US and allies cut military aid to Ukraine in exchange for a 30-day ceasefire, Bloomberg reports.

European officials had rejected this demand.

This would allow #Russia to rearm and launch serious strikes after the ceasefire expires.

Look, seriously, do not visit the US. They’re going full fascist.

The EU should be releasing travel warnings at this point.

British Comic Creator R.E. Burke Detained By ICE After Crossing Border

UPDATE: There is now an unfortunate update to this story. The original article continues: Becky Burke is known in the British comics scene as writer/artist creator R.E. Burke.

Ontario, Canada’s most populous province just announced:

- removal of all American alcohol from store shelves, meaning all Ontario businesses will not be able to buy or sell American wine, beer, or liquor (we’re their largest importer at $1b/yr)

- banned US companies from bidding on contracts

- cancelled huge Starlink contract

- ending nickel exports (look up what that means)

- next step will be a 25% tax on energy sales to the US.

#ElbowsUp #CanadaFirst #Ontario #Tariffs #US

…The original rare earth #minerals“deal” focused on compensating the #US for PAST #aid to Kyiv, & specified the natural resources that would form part of the deal on over a dozen pages…. #Zelensky said Wed the contract asked for the US to own, or receive revenue from, 50% of #Ukraine rare earth mineral mining & other natural resource sectors. The sources said the document said it asked for compensation not for future US assistance to Ukraine, but for previous aid.

#geopolitics #StandWithUkraine

…The events of the last few days, which have left #Ukraine feeling betrayed, US #allies alarmed, & even some Republican senators outraged, have renewed debate about #Trump’s motives….

Is the president being driven by personal animosity toward #Zelensky? Or contempt for a smaller nation in need, as he seeks to reorient #US #ForeignPolicy to promote a spheres of influence system controlled at #superpower summits by #strongmen like himself, #Putin & Chinese President #Xi Jinping?

#geopolitics

…The clash over the rare earth #minerals agreement comes amid a serious deterioration of #US relations w/ #Zelensky, driven by #Trump’s adoption of #RussianPropaganda on the war, including the false charges that the Ukrainian leader started the conflict & that he is a dictator. The autocrat in this situation is #Putin, who has run #Russia for 25 years, imprisoned his opponents, crushed the #FreePress & held sham elections. And he started the #war.

#Ukraine #geopolitics #StandWithUkraine

However, it provides insights into #Trump’s view of #ForeignPolicy & his perception of the war after he reversed…Biden’s support for the invaded party & threw his weight behind the invader.

As w/his plan to relocate all #Palestinians out of #Gaza so the #US can build a “riviera” of beach resorts, Trump’s motives appear to be rooted more in extracting the best potential monetary return for the US than in equitably solving a murderous conflict that endangers the world.
