Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.
No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.

Musk threatens to shut off Starlink access if Ukraine won’t sign the minerals “deal”.

Russia fired 93 missiles and more than 200 drones into Ukraine. 81 missiles were neutralized, of which 11 have been destroyed by Ukrainian F-16 jets.
Overall, Russia‘s terror campaign today was an expensive one. The costs are above a billion USD.

Do you remember when I sounded the alarm
"Russian broken 7k ton fertilizer ship that visits key strategic locations is a bad idea. It takes only some oil to make it a floating bomb."
Guess what, parts of the cargo was contaminated with fuel oil and the rest is heading for Newcastle.

The open, very fine-grained AIS-data for Danish waters up until Nov 19 2024 has been released.
This will contain a lot of the relevant naval traffic from these days. Likely data as Yi Peng 3 passes cable C-Lion 1.
But range from Bornholm differs between days, so not certain.
