Re: arguments on the "just drive" alternative to cover some of the non-airplane use cases: ▪️ China today has ~251 cars per 1,000 population (compare to the U.S. at ~860). ▪️ When these large capital allocation decisions on HSR were made in the late 1990s and early 2000s, this…

Despite unprecedented access to information through AI tools, it seems we are at an all-time low in epistemological certainty. So many events that people took for granted are being doubted. zerohedge.com/political/mate…

"The problem with soft power is that it tends to evaporate in a hard power environment" is a great line.

@US_ShipOfState @thinking_panda New START Treaty. Although the treaty is defunct, both the US & Russian maintain "open display" of their strategic aviation. I'm sure some British maggot organized this to escalate tension between the two, as he cannot fight his way out of a paper-bag without American help.

Interesting that CNY is strengthening while most other currencies are weakening vs. the USD today. Could there be an unannounced part of the deal that China orchestrates an appreciation of the CNY?

Excellent analysis. I totally agree that the ultimate goal must be a large scale dollar devaluation and that can only occur through 1) debasing the dollar, 2) crashing the US economy or 3) negotiated agreement. unherd.com/2025/02/why-tr…

Not sure the pro-tariff folks (Navarro, Miran, etc) will ever be able to come back from this. They'll need to pivot somehow. Will they just join the neocons pushing for a trade war on China and low tariffs for almost everyone else? Or just claim victory at 10% tariffs?

For decades we as Americans have lived beyond our means by consuming far more than we produce. To make that possible, we outsourced our manufacturing, sold off assets, and went into debt. Foreign countries like China produced what we didn't, bought our assets, and loaned us the…

It's a sad indictment of the "reciprocal tariffs" if these are considered by USTR to be 10 of the most egregious unfair trade practices. Most of these are justifiable and the first one isn't even a trade restriction at all.

youtu.be/a2qDgkI6TQY?si… Luka Doncic may never be the same. I first suspected this after watching this YouTube video right after the trade -- that he's had his "Tiger Woods moment" -- a public humiliation that permanently crushes the athlete's supreme self-confidence.

It's so refreshing to hear Americans call a spade a spade. If country A relies on country B for its self-defense, and country B has permanent military bases in country A, then country A is a vassal of country B.
