From Turkey to the USA, Saudi to Canada, its some kind of rodeo: Links 1, Aug. 10, 2018

1. Classic islamic journalism

(Well they call it journalism and we call it propaganda to incite hatred towards Jews.)

2. More Trump stars please!

3. England, like Canada and everywhere else, discriminates AGAINST real refugees. Namely Christian.

4. The CBC is so staggeringly obsequious to the incompetent PM, that they present Saudi’s continued oil exports to us as a good thing and a sort of victory for Trudeau, when the opposite is the truth. A victory for Canada would be not needing Saudi oil and using our own.

The two leaders spoke by phone earlier today to discuss economic ties amid the deepening crisis.

A Kremlin source said they talked about projects such as energy, just hours after Donald Trump weighed in on the economic crisis by declaring more Turkish sanctions via Twitter.

 

Donald Trump tweeted: “I have just authorised a doubling of Tariffs on Steel and Aluminum with respect to Turkey as their currency, the Turkish Lira, slides rapidly downward against our very strong Dollar! Aluminium will now be 20 percent and Steel 50 percent. Our relations with Turkey are not good at this time!”

 

Shares of Turkish steelmakers Kardemir and Erdemir plunged as much as eight percent and 9.9 percent respectively after Trump’s tweet.

Thank you M., Xanthippa, MissPiggy, EB., Wrath of Khan and all who send in amazing materials today. Today was a busy editing day, so I have not gotten to all of them yet. So even more strongly recommend taking a deep dive in the Reader’s Links post for today.

Hopefully I can catch up tomorrow.

  1. Donald Trump is showing the cowardly politicians what can be done by the US if the President has courage. The Turkish economy is in a slow motion collapse and while we don’t have good data on China we do know their Central Committee is in turmoil about what the tariffs are doing to their economy. As long as the Dems don’t gain control of Congress the US has all of the advantages while those who are fighting us are in the position to have their economies destroyed.

    As I keep saying (and as many of you are probably tired of reading) China needs to export to us more then we need to import from them. As long as we stand behind the President we can’t lose. If the Dems get control of Congress they will try to once again snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
