One can only hope that Putin will cough up his last kidney from uncontrollable laughter.
How he did what his Soviet bosses at KGB could not.

Trump, and the sad group that coalesce around him.
Putin's vindication as smartest man in any room in any century.

From this week. Tucker Carlson getting into mischief. He must be feeling irrelevant.

Russian parliament speaker warns of ‘nuclear war’ if Putin attacked, slams US silence over alleged plot: Turkey's AA

Russian parliament or State Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin warned Wednesday that any attempt or even discussion of an attack on President Vladimir Putin is a “direct path to nuclear war” and a serious global security threat.

Citing claims by US journalist Tucker Carlson that the Biden administration had planned to assassinate Putin, Volodin accused Washington of failing to clarify its position and instead keeping a mum.

“A day has passed. Everyone is quiet. Neither Biden nor Blinken has denied what was said,” he wrote on Telegram.

He described the alleged plot as a “crime” and a “grave danger to global security,” calling for an international investigation.

“This should serve as grounds for an inquiry by all international institutions,” he said.

Volodin also linked the American journalist’s claim to other incidents. “There was an attempt to attack Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, which was prevented. Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico was targeted,” according to him.

"Former US President Donald Trump was attacked during his election campaign,” he said. “All of this is part of the same chain.”

Tariffs to come into effect shortly: https://edition.cnn.com/2025/02/02/politics/us-tariffs-americans-pay-imports/index.html

“THIS WILL BE THE GOLDEN AGE OF AMERICA! WILL THERE BE SOME PAIN? YES, MAYBE (AND MAYBE NOT!),” Trump posted, in all capital letters, on his Truth Social platform.

Just as long as it's not him personally being "pain"[ed], right? Otherwise it will be "the most biggest, beautiful deal the entire world has ever seen!" (for him) 🙄

Also: is Elon Musk misreading the room when it comes to the orange buffoon? https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2025/02/02/trump-musk-alliance-00201756

Trump has been singularly motivated by press coverage and the perception of success throughout his public life, since long before he entered politics. And in his first term as president, Trump invariably would grow angry at the press for not giving him “good reviews,” a line he once lobbed at me as if I was on the Oscars beat. And if it wasn’t the press’s fault, it was very nasty Democrats, insufficiently tough Republicans or his own dumb-as-a-rock advisers, never mind that he hired them.

The US is one of the least trading countries in the world,

Canada and Mexico are joined at the Hip to US supply chains, (for both countries the US is the destination of more that 75% of their exports) - 25% tariffs will spark deep recessions in both countries...

Canada and Mexico will pretty much be forced to give Trump what he wants,

Wall Street Journal editorial calls Trump tariffs ‘dumbest trade war in history’: Wall Street Journal

US business leaders are offering a mixed reaction to the steep trade tariffs that Donald Trump’s administration has imposed on Canada, Mexico and China, as the editorial board of the Wall Street Journal called it “the dumbest trade war in history”.

Donald Trump hit Canada and Mexico with a 25% tariff on imports, and China with 10%, on Saturday in a move that launched a new era of trade wars between the US and three of its largest trading partners. The tariffs against Canada tax oil and energy products at 10%.

Trump said on his own Truth Social social media platform that he had used emergency powers to issue the tariffs, due to come into effect on Tuesday, “because of the major threat of illegal aliens and deadly drugs killing our Citizens, including fentanyl”.

The Journal said the moves “reminds us of the old Bernard Lewis joke that it’s risky to be America’s enemy but it can be fatal to be its friend”, adding that with the exception of China “Mr Trump’s justification for this economic assault on the neighbors makes no sense.”

It added: “Drugs may be an excuse since Mr Trump has made clear he likes tariffs for their own sake, pointing to Trump’s comments on Thursday that the US doesn’t need oil or lumber from its neighbors.

“Mr Trump sometimes sounds as if the US shouldn’t import anything at all, that America can be a perfectly closed economy making everything at home,” the editorial continued. “This is called autarky, and it isn’t the world we live in, or one that we should want to live in, as Mr Trump may soon find out.”

Understanding Autarky With Real-World Examples: Investopedia

Autarky can be thought of as an extreme form of economic nationalism and protectionism.

The motivation behind a policy of autarky is usually a combination of securing the supply of important goods and a desire to reduce the dependence on other nations in general.

Depending on the type of political structure in a nation, the goal of reducing dependence on outside nations may be related to reducing the influence of competing political and economic systems.

At various points in history, however, autarky has been proposed by groups all across the political spectrum. When framed in terms of keeping domestic spending at home or stopping the transfer of wealth to bad political actors, autarky touches populist themes and appears to make practical sense.

In practice, however, autarky has economic downsides that are not immediately apparent in the populist arguments.

Why? At these prices, a trade agreement with the EU is also worthwhile. I wouldn't have anything against Canadian and Mexican products - on the contrary. I'm already making room for salmon, lobster, tequila and tacos. 🤣
