A big reason for the trade imbalance? We were buying oil at below market rates from Canada. We had a sweat heart deal. Take oil imports out of it and we had a trade surplus. This thing with Canada is moronic. And the people buying into Trump's bizarre misunderstanding of basic facts and economics are telling on themselves.
Russia is receiving gasoline from a NATO country. A shipment of around 200,000 barrels was loaded onto the tanker *Wendrix* at the Turkish port of Mersin and is being transported to Russia.
While Russia wages war against Ukraine, fuel is making its way to Russia from—of all places—a NATO member state. And it is being transported by a tanker belonging to the sanctioned "shadow fleet."
What madness. NATO states should not be helping Russia maintain its fuel supply.
A father breaks down in tears upon learning that his son was found dead beneath the rubble of a multi-story residential building destroyed by a russian strike in Kyiv.
Today, Canada is giving serious consideration to changing the name of Lake Michigan to Lake Epstein as we won’t be doing business with pedophile rapist presidents any longer.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. - DB
This is becoming much more serious.
German investigators have now found a third drone connected to the attempted attack around Leipzig/Halle Airport — together with approximately 50 grams of suspected military-grade RDX explosive.
The location matters.
Leipzig/Halle isn't just another European airport.
It is a major cargo hub and an important part of NATO's logistics network, used by Ukrainian Antonov aircraft transporting military supplies.
The first explosive-laden drone was discovered near one of those Ukrainian aircraft. Investigators believe another drone may have collided with a DHL cargo aircraft.
Now there is a third.
German security sources reportedly suspect possible Russian intelligence involvement, although this has not been formally attributed and Moscow denies involvement.
If that attribution is eventually confirmed, the strategic significance is difficult to overstate:
Someone wasn't attacking Ukraine's logistics in Ukraine.
They were attacking the logistics chain supporting Ukraine inside NATO territory.
Logistics wins wars.
Which is precisely why logistics becomes a target.

WHAT could be the reason for this? I can't figure out any sensible reason.
Americans, can you explain why your leadership literally supports russia's invasion?
WSJ: “Prices for steel and aluminum mill products have surged 22.5% and 40.5%, respectively, over the past year. General Motors last month projected a $2.5 billion to $3.5 billion hit this year from tariffs... Escalating a tariff brawl with Canada makes no economic or political sense.”
And don’t forget Trump’s deals with Killer Putin and Russia. He’s put a massive tariff on Canadian forest products and is buying Russian forest products.
Reminder that on Epstein Island there were ceramic masks of Howard Lutnick’s face all over the walls of the room where they pulled the kids’ teeth out so they wouldn’t bite.
Donald Trump on Putin "great guy, terrific person", Trump on Kim Jong un "well behaved and respectful", Trump on Mark Carney "nasty!", Trump has gutted a 150 years of friendship and cooperation while cowardly Republicans look on..
Trump first threatened to make Canada his 51st state in 2024.
How did Danielle Smith respond?
She visited him at Mar-a-Lago & changed Alberta law to encourage a separation vote.
Smith did not fight for Canada.
She weakened our country right in front of Trump.

This is insane. JD Vance is out there shouting tough-guy threats at Canadian PM Mark Carney. Meanwhile, the Trump administration treats Kim Jong Un like a pen pal.
Peak MAGA foreign policy comedy. 🤡
