@pati_marins64 “He doesn't lie ALL the time, it's only when he opens his mouth.”

President Trump: “Iran has agreed not to possess nuclear weapons, and this is good news. We will extend the ceasefire agreement with Iran if necessary. Many great things will happen if a deal is reached with Iran. I will visit Lebanon at the appropriate time. We have very good relations with Iran, and this is incredible.” This part is very interesting: “We have very good relations with Iran, and this is incredible.” I’ve never seen people who have “very good relations” getting bombed. Let’s wait for the Iranian version of the situation, which has become infinitely more reliable than the statements from the American president. Sad, but true.

Within 10 days, parts of the global economy will start running short of critical goods After 30 years studying economic sanctions and blockades, I don’t say this lightly: --Not just higher prices --Shortages. Markets are not ready for this

PM Mark Carney says Canada does not need to have oil reserves because Canada is an oil-exporting country. "Under the arrangements in the IEA, exporters of oil like Norway, like Canada, we don't have to have reserves because we are providing oil to the market." Canada just contributed 23.6 million barrels of oil to the IEA's largest-ever global oil stock release.

Trump is so desperate to punish Canada that he’s willing to trigger catastrophic losses for American businesses. trib.al/qS8tdyZ

Unfortunately Americans elected him

He is behaving progessibly irrational

It’s time to rebuild Canada

Agreed

Who could have expected Mark Carney, a liberal establishment figure if there ever was one, to be the flag-bearer for the end of the US-led order? And from a podium at Davos, of all places? The more you think about it, though, the more it makes sense. Carney is, at heart, a central banker. As such he understands the power of words and beliefs better than anyone: when you strip things down to their core, a world order - like trust in a currency or a financial system - fundamentally relies on the maintenance of belief. Systems of power exist because participants act as if they exist. That's pretty much it: perception is reality. Once participants acknowledge the fiction as Carney just did (he literally started his speech announcing he'd "end the pleasant fiction" of the US-led order), the system itself unravels. This is incidentally a formal concept in game theory: the shift from private knowledge to common knowledge is what triggers cascades. Carney, with his background, ought to have known this was his most potent weapon facing Trump's America: "Trump has the economic and military might. But I have something his power rests upon: I can shatter the collective belief that sustains it." He's even explicit about this being his thinking: his entire speech revolves around Vaclav Havel’s famous shopkeeper analogy and the fact that the power of the Soviet Union rested on "everyone’s willingness to perform as if it were true," on "living within a lie." As Carney puts it, "when even one person stops performing, the illusion begins to crack" and the entire "system’s power" starts to crumble. Today, that "one person" was him. Make no mistake, Carney’s speech at Davos may prove to be one of THE most important speeches made by any global leader over the past 30 years. This is genuinely epochal stuff. More than anything, what it means is that, to the extent it even existed at all, the West irremediably lost the Second Cold War: a Cold War requires two competing systems. Carney just announced that one of them simply no longer exists. This is the topic of my latest article: an in-depth analysis of Carney's speech and its immensely consequential implications for what comes next.

@DrewPavlou Australian MAGA!

Mark Carney is one of the most evil leaders in the world today

Perfectly said

His words again reminded me the Carny’s statement “That the rules-based order is fading. That the strong do what they can, and the weak suffer what they must...”

"The old order is not coming back. We should not mourn it. Nostalgia is not a strategy.”

That’s our leader!

Nailed it

@Bricktop_NAFO @realDonaldTrump Canada learned a hard lesson- never keep all your eggs in a single basket!

Never, ever forget how @realDonaldTrump pushed the United States largest trading partner into the hands of China and away from American trade.

@MarkWarner No, he is busy with ceasing the Nobel peace prize now!

Does Donald Trump realize the world is laughing at him?

@IngrahamAngle It’s an opportunity for you to buy a cheap electric vehicle from Canada!
