Japan, the EU, and Canada together hold 3 trillion in US debt and they are flexing that muscle. https://deanblundell.substack.com/p/carneys-checkmate-how-canadas-quiet

Yeah I love the idea that they put orange hitler in a full nelson until he tapped out like the little bitch he is.

More and more I'm realising this is all just a massive house of cards.

We (the UK) hold a load of US debt and the US holds a load of our debt.

So the net value is zero.

It's like me lending my mate £20 and him lending me £20 and we claim we're each worth £40. It's so bonkers when I word it like that but that's how it seems to be.

The integration treaty was sudden and adopted so fast, everyone was really shocked!

That Ireland flag though. Looking very Iran-ish.
