The EVERYTHING war between US and China is not over

They must duke it out before becoming besties

The temporary tariff cease fire is only until November 2026 unless one or the other side folds due to having been crushed by other means, exhausted by to-do list, or otherwise distracted by everything else

Given the November 2026 starting-gun expectation, and the April 2026 Trump-Xi meeting day, market likely looking backward and see the April meeting did nothing, and sense coming ouchie at some point in Q2/Q3’ close to end Q2

I expect 2026 is an age of hardware ‘DeepSeek’ moments in China

I expect EU portion of NATO to be fully absorbed by Russia obviously doing whatever, and split asunder by China trade issues that actually is just a fractal of the USA-China ‘thingy’

I expect Japan to suffer, and Korea to watch

I expect S America to get fired up

Assuming you found 2025 exciting in an unpleasant way

2026 should be much worse, and so advisable we best reorient our mindset to embrace the chaos, enjoy the volatility, and always look forward to tomorrow after making it through everyday

Here are vlogs that might help … the rant by Francis Hunt midway through the first vlog delicious
Sean Foo alway fun listen right or wrong
