Additional context: Less than 1% of all fentanyl enters the United States through Canada. As for Trump's supposedly unfair Canadian tariffs: High tariffs apply to fewer than 1% of U.S. dairy exports to Canada, and only when these are above a certain volume limit. The U.S. also has high tariffs...

There have been whispers of Trump lifting sanctions on Russia and talks with Russia about rebooting the Nordstream 2 pipeline. Coupled with the tariffs on Canada, China, and Mexico—perhaps Trump is planning to pivot to Russia as their new pre-eminent trade partner. "Made in Russia"

Looks like Europe is offering its own deal to Ukraine. Details to follow soon. I wonder what the deal entails and whether this'll prompt the US to alter their proposition (despite Trump stating that a deal was "very close"). Seems like a smart move on Europe's part, given the recent upset in...

I think you're referring to AfD? Yes, they did well in the elections—but the CDU/CSU won. Moreover, even though it came second, the AfD is blocked from being part of the next government because of a so-called "firewall" (or Brandmauer) operated by Germany's main parties, who do not co-operate...

Taken at CPAC:

Fake news. The US has sent roughly 110 to 120 billion USD in aid. Europe has sent roughly 130 to 150 billion USD in aid (with another large amount yet to be allocated).

Well, that escalated quickly.

Is it known whether they're also exploring other forms of administration?

Thanks for sharing. I'll keep an eye out for sign-ups for the clinics in France and Germany. Are there any other members here who would potentially be interested in signing up?

The idea is that, hypothetically, Neuralink could be developed to target the maladaptive neural synchrony that leads to tinnitus. Currently, however, Neuralink is specifically being developed and tested as a brain-computer interface (BCI). While this alone is an impressive achievement, I...

More than half of those minerals are located in land that is currently controlled by Russia. Maybe Trump should deploy troops to secure them.

Important to note that this was a continuation of Trump's $300 billion tariffs on China. Which, in all fairness, Biden increased with an additional $15 to 20 billion worth of tariffs. But how is this relevant to Trump needlessly inciting a trade war with Canada for, currently, zero gain?

Clutching at straws to paint Biden and USAID in a bad light (with made-up facts). But the average MAGA-supporter will probably believe it anyway because: "We're sending $100 million worth of contraceptives to Gaza. Because you can't create new terrorists if you can't reproduce." - Joe Biden...
