Stronger force will work they feel as not enough has been used to get what they want . Spectacular failure in learning is on display for it hasn’t worked yet at all.
Who needs enemies when you have Congress!!
Looks like the same crowd who ruled over Biden is attempting to rule over Trump.
For the exceptional nation read exceptionally stupid.
Stupid enough not to recognise that the party is over or worse still unwilling or unable to accept reality.
A flotilla of warships enter the Red Sea armed to the teeth with their most advanced weapon systems, yet are sent packing by the mighty Houthis. Maybe it would help if the MSM informed the Public of this fact. Shock & Awe, shot their load like Private Two-Shakes at the 2-star Okinawa whorehouse and after a frantic SOS call from Supreme Command to get us the f@ck out of here, negotiate a truce in Oman that the Houthis don't strike their sorry asses as the flotilla sets sail for the Indian Ocean to the nearest safe port where metal-workers with their soldering irons at the ready can patch up the holes.
Forget Hormuz, forget the Baltic & Black Sea, Iran & Russia will sink your flotilla within hours.
My mum told me that the headmaster told her at the parent-teachers meeting that if it wasn't for my (her son's) abnormally low IQ he could have been a brilliant scientist.
The above is the kind of logic emanating from the political elite and the 4/5 star generals who reminisce on CNN of their Iraqi & Afghani strategic victories.
thank you, karl, for this timely & very important post.
OT: in case you've been busy researching, & haven't yet had time to peruse MOA, Peter AU1 has posted on MOA. several regulars have commented, hoping you may stop by to help sort the unexpected re-appearance. thank you for all your research & posts keeping us informed & aware. please, know your work is invaluable & important. blessings
Thanks, Karl, for another insightful revelation. Not being an economist (in fact, nowhere near), it just seems to me that the facade known as the American Empire is actually competing with those sophomoric mental midgets, Germany, Britain, and France in the insane race to self destruction . I find it so incomprehensible that the "land of the free, home of the brave" doesn't (can't?) see that with every sanction/ embargo, it's auto destructing. Russia and China, through years of cool, calculated, and prescient planning, have made themselves not just self sufficient, but invincible.
The time when the Outlaw US Empire could win using sanctions has long past as it once had geoeconomic power, which it now lacks. But the real failure is psychological—there’s no earthly reason why being #1 is so important except in very immature minds—the mental midgets you noted—but they’ve been around in the Western world for far too long. Somewhere it’s written that pride goes before the fall, and that’s being proven in real time.
This bill if it ever sore the light of day would be the final nail in the US coffin. Extremist idiots like Graham, have no concept of realities in the financial World. If they believe this bill would be of any benefit to anyone. The biggest item around the US neck, it's massive National debt would be defaulted on. Leading to an accelerated collapse of the US economy. It's has no manufacturing base left to drag itself out of the quagmire it would create for itself. Graham is an absolute lunatic hated by many. But he has proved one thing, either Trump knows he is in a very weak position, Or he would have publicly called Graham out for his actions.
You are assuming that the War Party believes it is working for the American people?
There are billions of dollars of investmentnts tied up in the Ukraine that depend on tens of billions of dollars to be extracted. Most of those investments are or will be in Novo Russiye.
I believe BlackRock is the largest investor in the Banderan territories. The largest shareholder in BlackRock is Vanguard. Who owns Vanguard? No one knows, but we can guess. Macron, Merz, Graham, Starmer et alia work for banksters and only banksters.
If the decadent establishment in Washington is trying to mask its impotence and desperation, its increasingly ridiculous decisions are doing just the opposite. It's true that some, like the rotten Lindsey Graham, will get their miserable slice of the wormy pie, but at the same time the country is falling apart. One must approach with great caution those who can't swim and are drowning. And that's what Putin and his government are doing. Without a revolution in all areas of its society, the US will not be able to stop its self-destructive decline. With "politicians" (gangsters) like Lindsey Graham, that decline is guaranteed.
(Quote from Politico): "Sen. Lindsey Graham has pledged that his expansive sanctions bill would be “bone crushing” for the Russian economy.
But if enacted, the South Carolina Republican’s proposal to impose 500 percent tariffs on any country that buys Russian energy would effectively cut the U.S. off from some of the world’s largest economies — including allies in Europe."
I’d say this amounts to you throwing down the gauntlet but good! With the latest news from LA completely dominating the MSM (at least here in California) to say that it’s timely is a serious understatement. Busy times ahead here at the Gym!
You mean you want to see if there is a limit to their stupidity?
Meanwhile, when politicians push failed policies and hate that hurt their constituents, you can be pretty sure that they will be profiting personally, or that one of those initialed organizations have compromising information on them.
There’s generational animus toward La Migra in LA and throughout the entire Hispanic community. It’s very deep. I’ll be in Southern California in two weeks for a family celebration and will assess what’s happening while I’m there.
After seeing Trump stumble up to AF1 it’s no wonder that the clowngress follows faithfully with trying to stumble us into the MOAD with the D standing for depression. Just the tariffs as is is pretty much a guarantee of another Great Recession. Both Vlad and Xi are both doing their utmost to keep us out of a shooting war while they are in the process of letting amerika destroy itself economically, as I always suggest buckle up everyone
Lindsey Graham senator for South Carolina proves that his state remains::
"too Small to be a Republic; Too Large to be an Insane Asylum"..
Since 1860
I often wonder why Graham is re-elected every 6 years.
Yes, me too.
Stronger force will work they feel as not enough has been used to get what they want . Spectacular failure in learning is on display for it hasn’t worked yet at all.

We Americans are poking ourselves in the eyes with two sharp sticks, tis comical except the part about being blinded
Well, it’s only a very small subset of Americans doing the poking.
"and most of them are millionaires and have no clue how most Americans suffer from their deeds. "
And if they did they would not care. Whales don't care about plankton.
That’s a trophic relationship. You’re suggesting Congresscritters are cannibals.

More than pride, I would say delusional arrogance.
Isn’t that what pride is most of the time?
We are governed by an insane asylum ran by mental midgets controlled by a narcissistic clown.
And I'm being kind. 😤
"...And many goods are components ... —things like screws, nails and other fasteners,..."
To put it in simple but crude terms - it is ironic that the US is "screwed" by items it imports.
This bill if it ever sore the light of day would be the final nail in the US coffin. Extremist idiots like Graham, have no concept of realities in the financial World.

On the debt issue, I highly suggest reading this, https://warwickpowell.substack.com/p/us-government-deficits-and-bonds

Not being an American, I'd only heard of the legislation, I didn't know what it was about. You folks take care now.
Part of me wants to see this latest idiotic idea of 500% secondary sanctions become law. How low can "we" go?
You mean you want to see if there is a limit to their stupidity?
Meanwhile, when politicians push failed policies and hate that hurt their constituents, you can be pretty sure that they will be profiting personally, or that one of those initialed organizations have compromising information on them.
Or both.
This will trigger a civil war and destroy the USSA. The one good thing is it will get rid of a lot of politicians.
A revolt perhaps, like the one in LA.
Pretty sure the "revolutionaries" in LA are paid or just run-of-the-mill looters.

Senator Linseed Gayman really is like linseed oil. Just a whiff and I want to go to the toilet and purge.
NakedCapitalism.com had an interest post along the line of Brian Berletic's posts on what USA is up to with it's fake arbitration crap.
