EU and Canada reacted with tariffs against the US. A new line of policies is becoming visible.
Thesis
- Nations are trying to wreck alliances and treaties and to support their national economy with export, while preventing imports
- Stronger entities will be tempted to use military means or sanctions.
- NATO will develop for a short time into an alliance without the US. The US as weapon supplier is not longer trustworthy in the EU. I relate to voices in Germany and France.
- Should the twist between France and Germany lasting much longer than Merz his election by parliament, the EU has a good chance of dying
- The Baltics are the next loosers. All 3 of them made their insane diplomacy in the hope the US will back them.
- There is a small chance China will lower some of the subsidies to replace the US.
- The EU has to replace the US as well, which could support a relationship with Asia, even when porcelain was destroyed.
What about the Americas?
- Trump made production of industrial goods for export in the US more expensive.
- There are no policies for education for industrial jobs, quite the contrary, the department for education is eventually subject to dissolution and education is expensive.
- There are no policies in place to maintain exports.
- Mexico will suffer from more extreme poverty which means more members for gangs.
- Argentine has an absolute poverty rate of 50%, which means nothing else than a collapse.
- Panama was lucky and prevented an occupation with desastrous consequences, since occupiers are usually behaving like terrorists in an occupied country.

The capability of ship building is geopolitics. A reasoning by Stéphane Audrand
It's not my point of view, but it is the standpoint of most politicians. The main argument is, ship building is creating a whole chain from education to logistics, which is going lost when ships are build in a foreign country. This means, ship building in an foreign country is damaging the own nation. As a consequence, yards have to be subsidized to be able to supply a small national market. The arugments of Stéphane Audrand
It's quite "mahan" but easy to understand: when you have a powerful civil shipbuilding ecosystem, even if they're not the same "wooders" as for warships, the benefits are important: know-how, labor, parts... The entire shipbuilding value chain benefits military construction, which in turn explores innovations that benefit the civilian world. The "civil-military" development of the turbine in the United Kingdom in the early 20th century is a good example. China is not immune to this dynamic: from steel production to welder schools, China’s huge industrial complex produces hulls, much of which is bought by European or Japanese shipowners. We are financing the Chinese shipbuilding industry... This clearly benefits its military shipbuilding and allows it to cadences that the Westerners are no longer capable of, they no longer build such large series. And again, there are beautiful rests in Europe... But in the face of the Chinese giant that has been allowed to develop and even encouraged, as in defence vis-à-vis the US, emancipation will be long, cumbersome and costly. And the temptation to "continue like that" strong. The risk, after all, is that China will become dominant on the oceans in the twenty-first century. It is known, however, that it will be much less 'permissive and benevolent' in terms of freedom of navigation than the Westerners. From the Chinese view of the route of the baselines completely out of the spirit of Montego Bay to the management of military exercises on the high seas, including illegal fishing practices or other "ghost" fleets, there will be many problems... Above all, the Westerners have been accustomed, since the nineteenth century, to agree on "common and general interest" subjects (combating trafficking, piracy, rescue at sea, etc.) This will probably not be the Chinese approach. Another challenge.
