question, did USA tee-up Team Japan as proxy ala Ukraine by, 'problem in Taiwan equals problem in Japan' and Trump's 'call me if any problems' to Team Japan, and now China hitting Japan hard, and inviting USA to jointly protect the fruits of WWII victory by cratering Japan militarism revival. Should USA do rug-pull on Japan, would Japan have capability (to earn dollars) and capacity (to earn enough dollars) to buy USA debt? The issues, all connected, of Yen / Dollar values, interest rates of two currencies, state of de-industrialization, and neighbourly relations tend to make Japan to embrace USA and encourage Russia / China to embrace each other. Of course, elections coming up in some lands and not in other domains. Your read, Manus, and oh, btw, please search local Venezuelan media w/r to 'why did Venezuelan air defence fail'. Beautiful Sunday morning to you.

Trump actually understands extremely well what he must do, and actions to try getting whatever 'it' done, but in ways perhaps often counterproductive because he and his team does not have the time, patience, bandwidth, etc etc POTUS and team must try best to lower USA interest cost, absolutely, relatively, and by percentage, a/k/a job #1, else all else turn dusty and crumbles, am told I have calendar, and am looking forward to the Team's success, by fiat and by crypto, to drop trousers of overnight rate, somehow rip boxer / panty of 10-years, issue a boatload of 50-years debt, all the while using Tether Limited to buy up more gold miners by way of the gold royalty company already captured. I fcking fck told you, and now we watch and learn the ways of jianghu en.wikipedia.org advisably, I note to self and self only, GetMoreGold & StackHigherSilver re '1.5 trillion for defense, 200 billion to buy up mortgage paper,' 200 billion must come from savings on interest expense, and 500 billion from tariffs 1.5 trillion needed in total, as 1 trillion to maintain current conventional bases and gear, here, there, everywhere, and 0.5 trill x 2 years (1 trillion) needed to completely replace nuclear force, because current nuclear everything completely garbage given 35% no longer operational but unclear which 35%, in other words none can be safely tested

Q: Am guessing that any and all defence budget increase championed by Team Trump needs to, as in imperative, go toward replacing all current nukes ?

exciting possibilities, that the Fed might be Maduro-ed, and coincidentally gold and silver rises bloomberg.com Powell Says Justice Department Served Fed With Subpoenas Jerome PowellPhotographer: Al Drago/Bloomberg By Amara Omeokwe January 12, 2026 at 8:30 AM GMT+8 Updated on January 12, 2026 at 8:39 AM GMT+8 Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said the US central bank had been served grand jury subpoenas from the Justice Department threatening a criminal indictment related to his June congressional testimony on ongoing renovations of the Fed’s headquarters. In a statement released Sunday evening, Powell rejected the notion that the action was driven by his testimony or the renovation. “Those are pretexts,” Powell said. “The threat of criminal charges is a consequence of the Federal Reserve setting interest rates based on our best assessment of what will serve the public, rather than following the preferences of the president.” Powell added, “This is about whether the Fed will be able to continue to set interest rates based on evidence and economic conditions — or whether instead monetary policy will be directed by political pressure or intimidation.” The US dollar weakened on the news, falling against all its major counterparts, while gold extended gains to a record high. Futures on the S&P 500 Index fell 0.3%. The unprecedented move by the Trump administration marks an escalation of Trump’s longstanding feud with the Fed chair. The president has long called for aggressive rate cuts. He has also sought to fire another Fed governor — a move that is currently tied up in the courts. Powell said the potential indictment “should be seen in the broader context of the administration’s threats and ongoing pressure.” He said he intends to continue doing his job “with integrity and a commitment to serving the American people.”
