Yanis Varoufakis’ theory of what is happening

What’s your opinion of Yanis Varoufakis’ explanation for the tariffs?

Kind of, if Yanis Varoufakis has it right

You believe that the accusation then and now were true and that everybody knew but nobody in the position of power prevented the takeover?

Why is the focus on Trump then and not everybody else?

To me it’s easier to believe that this is drama to distract from changes that are in a way necessary but unpopular.

If Trump is a Russian asset, how was he allowed to run for his first term? Various agencies must have known.

As a map some days ago showed, Canada, Greenland, Panama, probably Israel, maybe even Ukrain - it’s all about shipping lanes.

All that effort makes sense if there is the believe that global trade will increase and that the USA will still be relevant when the center of the global population is in Asia.

So extinction is not the goal but could be an accepted risk.
