Think about this for five seconds. Would America be richer if 100 percent of all American cars were built domestically but the rest of the free world diversified away from US software and financial services? Would you trade trillion dollar companies for billion dollar companies? That's the trade!

One thing that can get lost in all this is that Jeff Goldberg knows much, much more about national security than the principals who were on that text chain.

Several weeks ago we heard, "annexing Canada is just a negotiating tactic" and now they're mentioning "kinetic action".

Rep. Carlos Gimenez on CNN alludes to military strikes on Canada: "Instead of taking kinetic action, he's taking economic action in order to protect American lives."

As I said, this is Canada’s Day Zero. Economically and politically. Canadian history now has a before and an after, centred on this day
Trudeau: "He talked about banking again today in a tweet, which doesn't make any sense because 16 banks are currently active in Canada holding about $113b worth of assets in this country... what he wants is to see a total collapse of the Canadian economy, because that'll make it easier to annex us."

The attempted mugging of a visiting president was about the world war that Musk, Trump, and Vance have chosen. If we attend to what Vance and Trump said yesterday, we can work our way to the unreason of American policy, and to the chaos that will follow.
