I noticed a strange thing during Brexit. British politicians would say something about international relations that they thought would play well to their home audience apparently completely unaware that their media is consumed outside of the UK. This now seems to be happening with the US government

This mornings spin was a good example of the RE Meteor 350 dilemma. On the way out motorway. Left lane comfortable but I knew I couldn’t overtake anything that was going above 100. The way back country roads. Glorious. A 650 solves the motorway issue but still not sure I need to.

First victim of tariffs are consumers. It takes a little longer for supply chains to react and certainly takes a long time to build manufacturing capacity or plant crops. EU can afford to wait to see what the consumer reaction in the US is. It’s not like this US gov doesn’t change course randomly.

Setting fire to Tesla’s=Terrorism. Tesla’s self combust. iPso Facto Tesla=Terrorist. Am I doing the maths wrong?

First home Bray Wanderers game of the season and it feels like the temperature has dropped 10 degrees.

I get the feeling US president thought he could take Canada in 3 days in an economic war…

I appear to have accidentally become a strategic advisor to the French government…

So as the tariffs kick in there are also reports that the US may remove sanctions from Russia. It would be a very devious move for the US to introduce tariffs against EU countries and then offer to remove them only if the EU agrees to drop Russia sanctions.

Jaysus Starmer could win a peace prize if he keeps this up and I for one would have no problem with that. Hostility has to be met with unity.

So as a new world order is being constructed and European defence will probably not include the US what stops France offering some of its nuclear stock pile to Ukraine or any other country that feels it’s a little bit too close to Russia.

Is Trump positioning himself as King because people think Musk is President?
