And yes, the #Trump #Regime is dellusional thinking the #USA is irreplaceable when in fact it most certainly is!

• Noone in the #EU wants their gas-guzzling, oversized #SuperUselessVehicles and wannabe-#Trucks because they completely go against any #regulations and #norms in #Europe, being overweight, inefficient, polluting and not even legally #trucks to begin with!

#Manufacturers like "P.R." #China, #Vietnam, #Japan, #India et. al. are quick to #pivot to other #markets like the #EU and the #GlobalSouth.

• Just like penalizing #tariffs and #taxes in #Brazil didn't really get them much #industrialization and instead merely made certain items and products just unaffordably expensive to import and buy.

The matter of the fact is that this ain't 1945: the #US needs the #world more than vice-versa, espechally since the world moves on and both #EU and #NATO will continue to exist, thrive and expand even without the USA!

• In fact, #SouthKorea and #Japan are already #cooperating re: #defense with the EU and most nations bordering "P.R. #China" start to work on contingencies not only re: #Taiwan, but also #Beijing's aggression and #Pyongyang|s continued violations as well as #Russia|n activity...

Don't get me wrong it's really fecking important to report what's going on in #Iran and cover #IranProtests, but as a #US-bound camera crew they stick out like a Pantomimé in Mogadishu...

• Their chances would've been way better getting in contact with locals remotely and going out of their way to not request or collect any #PII whatsoever in order to not endanger anyone.

Similar to how one can't just interview people on the streets of #Pyongyang, everyone in #Tehran is rightfully afraid of repression...

The Hermit Kingdom has deployed approximately 10,000 troops to the #Kursk region, where #Ukrainians hold Russian territory. WaPo writes:

One U.S. official said the move is in part aimed at deterring #Pyongyang from sending more troops.

News that #Pyongyang has sent 3,000 troops to train to fight in the war has horrified #Ukraine, the #US and #Europe. But it has special significance in #Seoul – 7,300km from Kyiv – where #NorthKorea is a both an enemy and a nextdoor neighbour. #Russia

What was once a European conflict is now an Asian one, too.
