In 1990s Lamont,Tory chancellor, took on the money markets trying to keep UK inside the ERM (EU exchange rate). He lost and money traders made £millions. Now US seems to be trying the same to prop up the Japanese Yen to save US bonds.
All US have to do is cancel Japans tariff.

Watched a Utube history on the ppl that broke Britain and Brexit. They laid out Cameron-Austerity and self interest with Brexit referendum. May-fighting the party for a deal and failing.Johnson lies, terrible deal and shit show. Truss going full Brexit and tanking economy. Sunak got off lightly

My hypothesis.US funded German right wing fascist govt to start war and destroy communist Russia.To destroy UK empire. But as Germany became powerful and could threaten US and after Japan attacked Pearl Harbour. They switched to fighting Germany leaving the US to main power (1930 US was depression)

Only way to make Trump TACO is to threaten his oligarchs bros and his wealth. The stock market took a hit when EU threatened to cut off financing and access of US to EU markets. Trump TACOd

In 70s UK,white guys with white girls, black guys with both black girls and white girls, Asians with Asians . Now it’s beautiful, all inter mix. It’s the oldies (my demographic) that votes for racist parties like reform. They also were the biggest demographic to vote for Brexit. Trumps older than me

I see on the news Bessent running around trying to stop US allies dumping $ to save their currency (Japan,S Korea etc), Those same countries US levied heavy Tariffs on. Make it make sense!

Johnson destroyed the Conservative Party in the UK by purging anyone who disagreed with him in 2019 (similar to Trump with GOP). Now all the ‘low rent’ rats are deserting to Reform. This could allow better ppl (like Gauke) to be elected/re-elected in 2029

Russia’Need to take Ukraine for national security’
China ‘Need to take Taiwan for national security’
US ditto.
What’s the difference between them?

Is Trumps obsession with Greenland linked to his desire to make Canada 51st state by threatening northern Canada and its see routes?

The reason why Trump admin can’t hold ICE responsible is: As soon as they do their private ICE army will collapse .
If the states say enough is enough and start arresting ICE it’s over. Trump would, in desperation use the insurrection act to deploy army. If army refuse Trump terror reign is over

Why won’t they prosecute the ICE agent who murdered in cold blood an American citizen? Same reason Trump pardoned the nov 6 insurrectionists. He sends out a message of immunity if you’re on his side and devastation if not. He needs loyalty if he wants to hold on to power and harass the midterms

Trump goes on and on that if he was president when they attacked Iraq he’d have kept the oil. What about all the allied troops, like UK, who bought US weapons to help US after 911?
Bush kept them out of reconstruction projects

AI hype. TRAINING is actually consolidating,putting data in a form that’s easier to access.Pattern matching.It’s not increasing skill levels that training does. HALLUCINATIONS: Bad predictions. When the weather forecast is wrong they don’t say it’s hallucinating. The words used to infer intelligence

What a shame. If only the US wasn’t so insecure or scared. They’d have embraced the americas and allowed them to prosper and grow. Would’ve given US a market and cut immigration.
China worked with the US,used the$, bought US tech, used their data services until US weaponised them.

Iraq2 Bush ‘Iraqi oil will pay for the war’, it didn’t needed a lot of investment.
Trump 1.0 ‘Mexico will pay for building their own defence wall’. They didn’t
Trump 2.0 ‘Other countries will pay the Tariffs’. They don’t, it’s an import tax payed by importers and passed on to American consumers

The reason why the west , especially US, FEAR communist/socialism is it means the rich have to share the countries wealth with other citizens (healthcare,schools,housing,infrastructure etc). If socialist countries increase their citizens life then maybe US citizens will demand the same.

Trumps admin are so dumb. They attack Venezuela to get Maduro and then don’t leave. China has investments in Venezuela. The attack is illegal. China could sanction America like America sanctioned others. They could cut off rear earths, don’t buy American produce. US would collapse

Trumps been in power for 1 year. He’s transformed the world economy . He’s turbocharged BRICS, got Canada to switch to Asia and Europe, Brazil trades with Asia, Europe building their own defence procuring internationally. Saudi Arabia leaving the Petro-$. Blown up the debt. Some year.

Strange thing happened new year eve 2026 that I’ve just realised. I’ve 7 months ago cancelled my BBC licence so don’t watch BBC and terrestrial TV. Last night, instead of watching TV programs. We set off fireworks , celebrated and conversed as a family with 5min Utube London firework display.

I’m struggling with the thought that my kids don’t own anything since it’s all rental (subscriptions).When I was young I bought records,DVDs etc.I had a collection. Now I subscribe to Spotify listening to records I bought. But what about talent (GMicheal, Bangles etc)? How would they make it today?

Saw a docu on US financing and helping to build Germany armed forces in WW2. In effect without US help there’d be no WW2.
Makes sense: Germany destroys British dominance and invades communist Russia: win win. Out of the war came US empire.
End of WW2 US fought Germany maybe to stop their power.

2019 I stared as London Mayor Boris Johnson wasted £10smillions.As PM he’d waste £Billions.
In 2025 I stated, jokingly, DJ Trump had bankrupted all his businesses, as President of US he’d bankrupt US.
BJ and DJ T have common personality traits.Egotistical, laws don’t apply to them they lie as breath

Is Trump admin/ really this hubris or stupid? As US embargo’s Venezuela sending oil to China and trying to stop China investment they want to send $11B weapons to Taiwan who provide US with all their chips. What if China sent $11B weapons to Venezuela?
