King Donald the Mad
If King Donald the Mad is not stopped now, he will soon become unstoppable. Stopping him will not be easy. Nor will it be cheap. It will require us to make painful choices. But we should cherish the fact that we can still choose. If we do not act collectively to protect democracy, the rule of law, and a rule-based system of international relations, we stand to lose it all.
Dedollarisation and an end to reliance on the American war machine must be the first priority of every European nation, and many other nations besides. It is likely that most, if not all, of those nations will have to massively increase their spending on defense. That will not be popular, and could lead to tensions between nations which have found ways to co-exist in peace. Europe-wide coordination will be essential. The EU may have a new role.
Imperialist expansionism knows no limits. Venezuela today! Greenland tomorrow! You, much sooner than you think!
My crazy other idea.
Producing Hydrogen is EASY and can be done locally by pretty much every country on earth.
You need water and a source of electricity (green I hope)
Toyota , which has an array of viable hydogen solutions for CARS , from gas to fuel cells "GIFTS" the tech to
BYD Kia VW Hyundai Nissan etc
and gets paid a royalty for every engine installed using their tech
Why?
You cant "sanction" or "blockade" hydrogen
You cant control the Lithium mines/salt pans with "marines"
(electric cars will lead to Lithium wars ... USA already overthrew govmt in peru and is eyeing Greenland)
(The "oh my god its dangerous... Hindenburg..." YAWN.........................>)
And best of all...as gasoline cars fade away the petro dollar dies......
OT: from the National:
"SNP Budget to pass as Anas Sarwar confirms Scottish Labour won't oppose"
Excellent news. There's been quite a bit that Labour wanted in it, and I did hope. It means the SNP won't have to give in to the posturing madness of the Greens which is good whether you're for Swinney or against, and indeed for Indy or against. It's made my day, even if just for Scotland.
Most excellent, the game is afoot.
