Maybe that’s the plan? Start a trade war that will inevitably lead to a real war? It sets a lot more precedent for the lean on all of the marshal law type powers he’s chasing after.

I upvoted the post. I just meant to express my absolute lack of surprise at the situation or the news.

Yes, it’s news and yes it should get attention, and lots of it! It’s just not at all surprising that mega corporations want to protect the status quo that got them to where they are, whether we like it or not. Nor is it surprising that they will absolutely do everything they can to make us believe what they want us to believe. A few years ago that might have sounded super ‘tin-foil-hatty’ and this story might have been bigger news, but I’m not sure that’s the case anymore.

In other SHOCKING news, the sky is blue.
