Coffee Talk: I Should Have Had a V-8

[puckhead]

Fast forward to today that marks the 3rd anniversary of Russia invading Ukraine and the US is firmly on the side of the invading nation. Whatever you might think of the importance of the United Nations in today's world, it seems to me that the transformation of America from a democracy to an oligarchy is now complete and that is something that I thought I would never see.

The three votes against a UN resolution denouncing Russia starting the war in Ukraine were Russia, North Korea, and the United States.

There's no getting around it... USA are the bad guy now.
Rest of the world is protecting itself, and working to make the US irrelevant.

This is so fucking fucked up

Any US company that competes internationally is going to be fucked. In the very near future contracts are going to be awarded to companies without US based headquarters.

The first domino will be the US automakers.

How terrifying is this??

Hegseth was asked about it and his response was well these lawyers were just slowing us down in what we are trying to accomplish. What exactly are you trying to accomplish, Pete? Could it possibly be things these lawyers might deem to be illegal?

While Macron has Trump distracted, Canada is in Europe reinforcing their alliances across the continent. It is building a global coalition to counter Trump’s tariff attacks. Canada FM Mélanie Joly: “Allies facing tariff threats must work together.”

Its small potatoes, but there was talk City of Vancouver would back out of an agreement with Lime for city wide scooter services in favo(u)r of a Canadian company.

Prob not gonna happen so we will just have to be like Kelowna and toss the scooters into the nearest body of water

There needs to be big companies that aren’t based in the US for that to happen.

When it comes to tech, AI, weapons etc. there is still the US and everybody else. In particular Europe is a black hole business-wise:

It's being walked back. Some 19-year old that doesn't know it's an acronym and works for Musk assumed they had been labeled "jag offs" by a Supervisor and figured they could all be let go. They had to explain to him that's not the language the grown ups use.
