8 months ago the PM of Singapore gave the same speech as Canada's Mark Carney did today, but no one listened because no one listens to people in South East Asia. He announced setting up SG embassies in every country in Africa and south america. The world is already routing around the old order.
I was justatching a livestream of the Singaporean PM describing the multipolar, post-America, post-dollar world. Incredible that Thatcher's favourite little outpost is making calls for ASEAN-EU-CCP alliances. The new world is already here.

America are doing their own brexit right now. Markets will just route around them. Their citizens will be less well off, and the oligarchy will have all their Christmases come as one dodgy precurment contract after another.
EC President Ursula von der Leyen: “This agreement (EU-Mercosur) sends a powerful message to the world:
“That we are choosing fair trade over tariffs, partnership over isolation, sustainability over exploitation.
“And that we are serious about diversifying our supply chains.”

I love the hasty follow-up quote from a ‘government source’: “This doesn’t mean watching people who are non-criminals.”
It does! That’s exactly what it means! You can’t do it any other way!

Lol! The last time USA purchased islands by treaty to become sovereign territory was in 1917, when the US acquired the virgin islands from.... Denmark.... one of which is Little Saint James the home of Jeffery Epstein. You couldn't make it up.

OpenAI has absolutely zero ideas. They have no business. This is not a real business line and it’s so utterly vague and specious, I’m shocked at the credulousness to just print it without saying “there is no logical way this works of course” or talking about how the CFO of OpenAI is saying nonsense

Norwegian PM Støre says Trump repeatedly raises—complains about, pleads for, and demands—the Nobel Peace Prize every time they meet. Støre gives same answer each time: decision is made independently by Norwegian Nobel Committee, with no role for Norwegian gov—a concept Trump appears unable to grasp.
