USA Ramping Up Economic Warfare. Enemies NOT Blinking...

The U.S. Army is opening military bases to private billions — here’s why that changes everything for the next 250 years

America's next competitive advantage won't come from government spending alone, but aligning private capital with national security at speed and scale.

Donald Trump is a Third Worldist at heart

America at 250 has never been wealthier or more powerful. It has grown two-thirds faster than Western Europe over the past 20 years. Rival ideologies from Chinese authoritarianism to Islamism look deeply unappealing. There is a reason so many people are hammering at the republic’s borders. Yet, at the same time, the U.S. is starting []

The President spoke on the international situation and the external threats facing Russia We see that whereas previously NATO countries limited themselves to supporting the Kiev regime, which came to power illegally through an armed coup, now the West is openly saying it is getting ready for war against us and is increasing its military and offensive spending. To justify the spending and the radical militarisation of their states, NATO and EU leaders are, as before, using false claims about an alleged military threat posed by Russia. The modus operandi of the pseudo-democratic West is very simple: first, they create threats to our country, forcing us to take the measures necessary for our defence and security. They then immediately accuse us of every possible wrongdoing in order to justify continuing their aggressive policies and actions against Russia. <...>I emphasise that Russia consistently promotes equal and indivisible security for all. We are convinced that this can only be achieved through the creation of a multipolar system of international relations that reliably guarantees the military security of every state. At the same time, we remain ready to respond promptly and appropriately to any threat, be it external or internal.

US Trade Deficit Swelled in May as AI-Fueled Imports Surged and Exports Fell

American companies are investing aggressively in artificial intelligence, pouring billions of dollars into servers, semiconductors and advanced computing equipment. At the same time, that spending spree is widening the nation’s trade deficit at a pace few economists anticipated, creating a fresh headwind for economic growth just as policymakers were hoping momentum would strengthen. New figures released Tuesday by the Commerce Department showed the US trade deficit widened 42.2 in May to 77.6 billion, the largest monthly gap in more than a year. Behind the headline was a striking imbalance: imports climbed sharply while exports retreated, illustrating how the country’s appetite
