What does a TRUMP presidency look like?

"America's New Face"

I mean it's not exactly a new face, America has a long history of bullying weaker nations. It just usually hasn't bullied its friends and allies.

Our mills are going to move south to shift their production there and avoid the tariffs.

They'd still pay the tariff on the wood they imported to process.

Much less value than on the finish product though.

But apparently, that part was canceled by Trump, only the tariffs on the dairy products remains.

It's fucking hard to follow politics rn.

Well, that's an empty threat. Insignificant amount of dry milk powder from Canada to the USA based on the Canadian customers consumption while the USA over produces milk.

USA exports of the same thing is only available in amounts negotiated in USMCA.

Softwood lumber is big though.

They are still going to buy it anyway.

Our mills are going to move south to shift their production there and avoid the tariffs.

That makes absolutely no sense.  We may not be aware of this but there has been a trade dispute on softwood lumber with the US for at least 30 years, during which time the Americans have constantly slapped unlawful tariffs on shipments heading South.

During that time no mills have moved South, the only reason production gets curtailed is drops in prices or supply of wood.

The Americans, despite the bluster of their softwood lobbyists, need our lumber unless they start making homes using some other material.

I did like the stone houses in the UK.  We should make more houses out of stone.

They do last. Plus.. wooden house in a place with termites?.... I wouldn't like to pay several hundred thousand for a wooden house in Texas.

Pressure treating and isolated sill plates are usually enough.

German magazine Stern is going back to the "classics" for its cover.

David Low iirc, several of his WW2 cartoons have entered the national mythology.

Canada will reach it's goal of spending 2% on defense in 2030.  At this rate it will get on war footing to oppose the US by 2172.

We have complained about NATO military spending for 20 years, it didn't start with Trump.

Any comment on the 800 billion Euro defense plan by the EU?

I'm not sure of the average US soldier's willingness to die for the sake of pacifying Saskatoon. Pretty sure we could whip up a nuke in a few months if we hold on long enough too.
