    An important concept to be aware of:

    Don’t disagree with anything that was said on that webpage however, I think we’re in new territory what happens when one country out of the blue decides it’s going to take on all of the other economies of the world alone by itself? With the added cherry on top of stabbing two very friendly trading partners just to the north and just to the south, one country supplies, you with oil and gas at a significant discount under the world market price, and the other supplies, you with a significant amount of the food you need to eat along with large amounts of industrial support cross several industries, note, that also applies to your northern partner too. 

    The rest of the world will trade around the United States. They pretty much trade around Russia currently, and Russia is not getting stronger with their fiasco/war with the Ukraine which they started, in fact they are getting weaker.
    Only trouble with that theory is that for the rest of us, the USA actually dominates the world market. Russia is nothing.  Many countries, including my own, impose tariffs and non trade barriers on all sorts of stuff from the USA, so there actually is a bit of a case for the USA to finally do something about it. All at once is a bit of a shock to people used to things going their way. 
    Like my country because the yanks have been too nice to retaliate.

  • A flood of panic-buying has started in anticipation of major iPhone price increases

    Panic demand being brought forward.  An alternative approach would be to just keep existing phones for a longer upgrade cycle. Which has the added benefit of seeing how things pan out.

    what happened to the free market capitalism that he espouses?  
    The actual case is about opening spectrum for all companies rather than licence segments. 
    as for “tense” discussions, I imagine any two companies negotiating major business deals are not doing it over breakfast tea and cupcakes.

  • 'Wuthering Waves' and 'Control Ultimate Edition' now available on Mac

    entropysentropys
    Is the character in the Wuthering Waves  game named Cathy?

    Also, “they”. Are we talking multiple personalities as well as amnesia?

  • iPhone fold display when open rumored to retain a familiar aspect ratio

    entropysentropys
    Make it small enough when folded and interested. A bit. And instead of Face ID for thinness reasons, why not a forehead so we can have extensive camera setup?
