fascinating to compare how Wall Street reacts to the possibility that a socialist might have some power somewhere versus how it reacts to the concrete reality of a literal madman tearing down the American-led post-WWII global order

Its truly baffling that there are worse negotiators in all of this than Trump but never underestimate German squareness and its constant hindrance to the European project

I'm not sure we are there yet but we are edging very close to the distrust for US being such that others see the need to permanently reduce exposure to it beyond Trumps presidency. The problem gets worse the more the GOP mantra is that you can't speak ill of the Supreme leader. China keep winning.

If the figures we're getting out of Iran are in the right league, this weekend was, I think, one of the bloodiest state crackdowns of all time. People are talking 12,000-20,000 dead; for comparison Hungary in 1956 was about 2,500, Tiananmen - across country, in multiple cities - probably 1000+
