Defund the Communist
Liberation Day delivered, and so did we.
It is amusing to think of how the EM fund manager is scrambling to write a ‘note’ referring to meticulous details of each byline of trade.
They really don’t get it, do they?
This is why they are there.
The communists, with all their antics and multilateral trade and alliances, are hilariously smug. There are propaganda sites discussing their great victories in securing One Belt One Road, BRICS, the US, and the EU.
They discuss how brilliant tacticians their leaders are.
It’s really that nutty.
It’s nutty because anyone with an astute eye can see you are playing multiple sides against each other.

Enough is enough, and those that need to know - now know.
You must be absolutist in knowing who your real allies are and who are not. In both life and geopolitics.
This is where it gets interesting and why it is checkmate.
The biggest fear of a centralized economy is how inferior their artificial monopolies are, even if they are cheaper. Because domestic consumer may be willing to pay more for quality.
This is why they fear free trade.
They fear what they must compete and they can’t.
They were happy to have co opted trade while maintaining a closed capital account.

This is wacky: the Socialist Republic of Vietnam has a trade surplus with the U.S. and a trade deficit with China, yet insists on defense and free trade with the US. They export VinFast cars (sold 200) with subsidies and free IP, but if you want to buy a U.S.-manufactured car in Asia, you’re looking at a 200% tariff. All so the cronies and liberals can …
I think if I were running a nation-state, we’d do very well.
