Does NATO really even functionally exist anymore though? I mean, Trump keeps threatening to take over Canada and it's very clear he's owned by Russia.
A source told CNN that negotiators are discussing “a possible scenario in which Ukraine would effectively be barred from joining the U.S.-led Western military alliance via arrangements that would have to be negotiated directly between NATO member states and Moscow.”

In the U.S., where nearly half of the global revenue for weapons makers was generated, another notable development in 2024 was SpaceX landing in the Top 100 for the first time. Elon Musk's firm's arms revenue more than doubled compared with figures from 2023, reaching $1.8 billion.

The top 100 weapons makers in the world — led by those in the United States — brought in a record-setting $679 billion over the course of the year, fueled mainly by the war in Ukraine, Israel’s genocidal assault on Gaza, and spending on nuclear weaponry.

The way to read the Canada-Alberta MOU is that Carney is using the Trump effect as political cover to pursue the deregulatory agenda he’s long wanted. I spoke with @naomiaklein.bsky.social who called it a classic example of the shock doctrine.
Did the climate world misread Carney?
Many in the climate movement saw a fellow traveller in Mark Carney — the man who could preach climate action in the language of finance — but what if they were wrong from the very start?

Labor unions can recruit working class candidates in red states, run them as independents, fund them with money they now give to Democrats, and use union members as the core of their volunteer base. The numbers are more plausible than you think.
