well… the situation is very convenient for Europe as they still get what they need but those things that depend on pollution come from outside Europe. a better policy would be for Europe to aim for ecological preservation without doing that at the expense of other willing countries

European hypocritical green policies continue to export pollution to Asia while undermining the future of their own local industries

nah. foreign powers are completely uninterested, so this will remain a local conflict. there’s nothing there to forcibly draw other countries in as well

He’s a corporativist

It is outrageously accurate

The US will end up with the highest fatality ratio than any other country and Trump will still blame Biden and Hillary’s emails

Why does the supreme court think that “religious” = christian only? That would also pave the way for Islamic schools as well

The problem is that the high interest rate would trigger the debt ceiling and the USA may actually default on its debt

When foreign countries buy those US Treasuries, basically they are as if the US borrowed money from those foreign countries (ie foreign country gives the US money and the US promises to pay interest over time on that money, and to give back that money in the end. In this case it is said that foreign country “bought” US debt). This helps keep the value of the US dollar where it is (in other words, highly desirable). If foreign countries stop buying those US Treasuries or — worse — start selling them, it is as if those countries are taking their money back. Because the dollar becomes less desirable in that scenario, then the US has to jack up interest rates to make the dollar attractive to buyers again. For the people on the street, this results in higher interest rates on loans, credit cards, and mortgages. Companies face higher costs to borrow money and some have to fire people and/or reduce/close business.

In short, Trump thinks that he has leverage on foreign nations by affecting how they trade with the USA, but he doesn’t realize that foreign nations have immense ability to wreck the dollar if they are forced to do so by no longer giving their money in exchange of US debt.
