In a series of bold and unsettling predictions, geopolitical and geo-economic expert Dr. Ankit Shah has warned that the US dollar may be heading toward an unprecedented collapse. According to him, this is not merely speculation—it’s a shift rooted in deep structural imbalances within the global economic system, driven by years of unsustainable practices and manufactured dominance.
In a surprise move, China has replaced its long-standing trade negotiator, Wang Shouwen, with Li Chenggang, a former assistant commerce minister and current envoy to the World Trade Organization (WTO). The change was announced by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security without offering any detailed explanation.
At the heart of Trump’s trade policy lies a gut-driven hunch: if a nation sells more to the U.S. than it buys, it’s “ripping us off.” He’s convinced that trade deficits balloon the federal budget deficit and that tariffs force foreign governments to funnel cash into the U.S. Treasury. Every one of these notions crumbles under scrutiny.
In a striking announcement on Sunday, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick clarified that the recent exemption of various electronic devices from newly imposed tariffs is merely a short-term pause. Speaking on ABC’s “This Week” with co-anchor Jonathan Karl, Lutnick revealed that these products—spanning smartphones, computers, solar cells, flat-panel displays, and semiconductor storage devices—will soon face specialized … Read more
No US orders are rolling off Guo’s production line—suspended or unconfirmed, poof, gone! Guangdong’s hit harder, with some factories tied to one big US client, but Zhejiang’s got a trick up its sleeve: a broader client base in Guatemala, Chile, and beyond. Guo’s strutting past boxes stamped for Latin America, bragging, “We ditched the US market years ago—new markets are where it’s at!” This ain’t your grandma’s trade war!
So, it’s Friday, April 11, 2025, 08:15 AM PDT, and Xi Jinping—aka the guy who’d stare down a tsunami and call it a splash—drops a truth bomb: China’s been rocking self-reliance for over seven decades and ain’t about to start begging from Uncle Sam now. Minutes later, China’s Customs crew hits back with a 125% … Read more
The Council of Economic Advisers dropped a March 2025 report claiming extending these cuts would juice GDP by 3.8%, bump real wages by $3,300, and fatten median household paychecks by $5,000. Sounds like a superhero win, right? Wrong! The Center for American Progress—those liberal buzzkills—says it’s a trap. By 2055, they predict a $4,375 per capita drop in real GNP, thanks to debt and interest costs ballooning the national debt to 220% of GDP. Bobby Kogan, their budget guru, says any tax cut gains will evaporate faster than my last date with Lady Death.
Trump struts into the White House Rose Garden on April 2nd, calls it “Liberation Day,” and basically declares war on anything that crosses the border without a “Made in ‘Murica” sticker. “Foreign nations have been screwing us for too long!” he yells, waving a chart that looks like it was scribbled by a toddler with a Sharpie. The stock market? Plummets faster than my dignity after a tequila bender. Economists? Screaming about recessions like it’s the end of Avengers: Infinity War. Me? I’m just here for the popcorn and the penguin memes.
As geopolitical tensions mount in the Arctic, a different kind of battle is unfolding far from the headlines and defense summits—one fought not with weapons, but with words, land, and centuries-old traditions. The Sámi people of northern Norway, an Indigenous group whose ancestral lands stretch across Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Russia, are facing an increasingly invisible but deeply personal threat: the militarization of their homelands.
Well, folks, it’s getting spicy out there! China just threw down the gauntlet in its escalating trade tussle with the U.S., vowing to “fight to the end” as it jacks up tariffs on American goods to a whopping 84% starting tomorrow. If you thought the economic ping-pong was intense before, grab some popcorn—this match is heating up!
