๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿญ US deindustrialization crisis EXPLAINED in one simple graph:

๐Ÿ”ธThe US has lost nearly half its machinists since 2000, the average age among machinists is 47

๐Ÿ”ธ77% of American manufacturers say they have a difficult time attracting and retaining machinists

๐Ÿ”ธUS National Association of Manufacturers forecasts a shortage of 2.1 million factory workers by 2030

๐Ÿ”ธ
This crisis could theoretically be mitigated by large-scale automation and a concerted push to get young Americans to seek factory jobs, but 1) US is far behind China in terms of industrial robots, 2) No one is doing anything to persuade American Zoomers to become machinists

This Bloomberg map shows how the US intends to limit access to AI-relevant hardware like NVIDIA chips:

๐Ÿ”ธTier 1 includes the US and its most loyal vassal states like the UK, Germany, Canada, and Australia. These countries will enjoy unlimited access to chip produced with American technology

๐Ÿ”ธTier 2 encompasses a majority of the worldโ€™s countries, including India, Poland, the UAE, and Portugal.

๐Ÿ”ธTier 3 is for โ€˜bad guysโ€™ like Russia and China. Shipments of American produced chips is banned to these countries.

๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ Trump is demanding Ukraine's RARE EARTH METALS in exchange for continued military aid

Pre-2014 Ukraine was a top global suppliers of mineral resources๐Ÿ‘‡:

๐Ÿ”ธIt boasted of 20,000 mineral deposits, covering 116 types of minerals with a value of $12 trillion

๐Ÿ”ธ8.4M tons of titanium ore reserves, between 10-20% of the total global reserves

๐Ÿ”ธHolds 500,000 tons of discovered lithium reserves, used in the production of many batteries

๐Ÿ”ธIs also a top producer of gallium in the world to produce semiconductors and LED

There's one major problem with Trump's demand much of former Ukraine's mineral wealth is now controlled by Russia (biggest concentration of rare earth metals is in Donetsk and Lugansk)

Why are Ukraineโ€™s mineral resources strategically important?

๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณChina accounts for TWO THIRDS of the worldโ€™s rare earth metals production

๐Ÿ“ŠIf the US wants any hope of competing with China, it needs guarantee access to the other one third of global production

๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡พ CODE RED: Erdogan's Syria Gamble is Backfiring?

In December, Turkish-backed jihadists overthrew Assad and seized power

Now the new Syrian regime is offering to host Turkish airbases and give Turkish companies lucrative reconstruction contracts

But all is not well for Erdogan:๐Ÿ‘‡

๐Ÿ”ธTurkey never fully trusted Jolani and HTS. After all, Jolani was โ€œeducatedโ€ at an American prison camp in Iraq

๐Ÿ”ธKurdish problem: If Turkey does nothing, it will have a de-facto Kurdish state on its borders. If it goes on the offensive, it could find itself on a collision course with the US (too risky)

๐Ÿ”ธCollapse of Assad has enabled Israel to make a big landgrab in Syria and there's not much Turkey can do to stop Netanyahu

๐Ÿ”ธPossible rift with Qatar: Both Turkey and Qatar helped HTS seize power, but Qatar has more money to spend on buying influence. Donโ€™t be surprised if Qatar tries to make a powerplay in Syria at Turkeyโ€™s expense

๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ“‰ Will Trump's Tariffs BLOW UP American economy?

We've previously written about why Trump is likely to prevail in his trade war with Canada and Mexico. For the sake of being balanced, let's examine why his tariff addiction could BACKFIRE SPECTACULARLY.

โš ๏ธ๐Ÿ’ฐIn 2023, the tariffs generated a return of $80 billion, a mere drop in the bucket compared to the nearly $2.2 trillion in personal income tax revenue. Here are the points to keep in mind:

๐Ÿ”ธ Only a universal tariff of 70% would generate enough revenue to replace individual income tax, and that's just in theory, because imports would obviously crumble in that scenario.
๐Ÿ”ธHigher tariffs to China can destroy the revenue to US companies
๐Ÿ”ธTrump's tariffs could cost the U.S. middle-class family between $1,200 and $2,600 each year.

๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿฆ Will Trump BANKRUPT the United States?

Forget all the noise about DOGE slashing government waste and fraud.

Trumpโ€™s proposed tax plan would add $5 to $11 trillion to the national debt by 2035. That would push debt to 132% of GDP on the low end and 149% on the high end!

As we explained in the previous post, Trumpโ€™s tariffs will not be sufficient to fill US treasury coffers.

๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿฆ๐Ÿ’ฃGerman economy on the verge of โ€œKAPUTโ€

The implosion of the German economy is accelerating, even more than we predicted.

To make matters worse, Trump has signed new tariffs at 25% for steel and aluminum applied to all countries. Remember that Germany is the 6th largest exporter to the US with $84B in exports.

Scholz and Von der Leyen have vowed that the EU will respond forcefully to the US tariffs. However, Germany's economy is already reeling from Russia sanctions and explosion of Nord Stream pipelines. A US-EU trade war would likely be a knockout blow to the Germany economy, which send shockwaves to the French, Spanish, and other European economies

On February 9, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania disconnected from the BRELL energy ring that supplied them with energy from Russia and Belarus.

Ursula von der Leyen, Zelensky and other European authorities congratulated the Baltic countries for no longer depending on Russian energy. But ordinary citizens are probably less than thrilled.

In 24 hrs. they went from paying:

๐Ÿ”ธ$64.79 MWh. (62.74 EUR)
๐Ÿ”ธTO $151.62 MWh. (148.83 EUR)

The Baltic state are now part of the broader European energy crisis. But their numbers are especially bad.

๐Ÿ”ธBaltic States' local electricity production: 18.4 TWh.
๐Ÿ”ธConsumption: 27 TWh.

In other words, a massive deficit.
