If Governor Carney thinks he is going to make Canada a “Drop Off Port” for China to send goods and products into the United States, he is sorely mistaken.
China will eat Canada alive, completely devour it, including the destruction of their businesses, social fabric, and general way of life.
If Canada makes a deal with China, it will immediately be hit with a 100% Tariff against all Canadian goods and products coming into the U.S.A. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

🇺🇸 Pentagon shifts focus away from China in new defense strategy
The previous National Defense Strategy, published in 2022, identified China as the most significant strategic competitor to the U.S.
The Defense Department said in an influential strategy document published Friday that the U.S. military’s top focus is no longer on China but instead the homeland and Western Hemisphere.
The priorities laid out in the 2026 National Defense Strategy, a quadrennial report last published in 2022, diverge significantly from those of the Biden administration, with efforts geared more inward such as securing the border and countering narcotics.
“We will ensure that the Monroe Doctrine is upheld in our time,” it adds, referring to the 19th-century foreign policy doctrine that asserts the U.S. sphere of influence extends throughout the Western Hemisphere.
The No. 2 priority for the Pentagon is now China, which was characterized in the 2022 report as the most significant strategic competitor to the U.S., due in part to Beijing’s territorial claims in the South China Sea and its aggressive behavior toward U.S. allies.
The new report says the U.S. does not seek to “strangle or humiliate” China, but rather should deter the country “through strength, not confrontation.” It says the Pentagon will “provide the military strength for President Trump’s visionary and realistic diplomacy, thereby setting conditions for a balance of power in the Indo-Pacific that allows all of us — the United States, China, and others in the region — to enjoy a decent peace.”
The Pentagon’s third priority is to increase allies’ burden sharing, including Canada and Mexico in the Western Hemisphere and Europeans on their continent. The fourth priority is rebuilding the defense industrial base.

🇨🇳 🇹🇼 🇺🇸 Yun Sun, Director of the China Program at Stimson Center, writes it is increasingly convincing that a Chinese invasion of Taiwan will happen and could even be imminent in 2026.
So far, a fundamental reason Xi has not used force against Taiwan is that it is uncertain such an operation can succeed. This question of success has always depended on how the United States would respond to a Chinese attack. China is now convinced that it is unlikely to see a U.S. president more indifferent toward Taiwan and more unlikely to intervene militarily in the Taiwan Strait than Donald Trump. The recently released U.S. National Security Strategy, which prioritizes the Western Hemisphere and proclaims a “predisposition to non-interventionism,” supports this perception since it forgoes any designation of China as a threat or a challenge to the United States. The Trump administration’s mostly muted response to China’s December 2025 military exercise encircling Taiwan was also encouraging. Then, in early January, Trump’s decision to capture Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro confirmed the United States’ Western Hemisphere priorities.
Yet this shift in U.S. strategic priorities—and its approach to China—may be present only for the next three years. The shift could even fade after the U.S. midterm elections in November this year if the Democrats take control of Congress and Trump’s base loses enough steam. The window of opportunity is therefore limited: China may never again have a moment when Washington is so reluctant to intervene on Taiwan’s behalf.

📖 🇨🇳 🇹🇼 Xi’s great purge is pre-war mobilisation strategy: Zhao Lanjian | Oct 26, 2025
In real conflicts—such as the China–India border clashes—this essence is revealed: rigid command, paralyzed decision-making, fear-driven passivity.
To prepare for a Taiwan conflict, Xi is turning China into a wartime society — where soldiers, intellectuals, businessmen, and civilians operate under one command structure.

Trump denounces the UK's unilateral Chagos Islands deal, saying he was shocked by the UK's decision, saying that "There is no doubt that China and Russia have noticed this act of total weakness by the UK"
"Trump wins again - or rather, Europe caves again. On Friday UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer was forced into an abrupt and humiliating retreat after his plan for the Chagos Islands detonated backlash in Washington.
Starmer had been preparing to ram the controversial legislation through the House of Lords on Monday, only for the bill to be yanked late Friday on growing fears it could unravel a 60-year-old US-UK treaty, which is the foundational Cold War-era deal that allows the US to operate the Diego Garcia military base on the Chagos Islands, or what's known as the British Indian Ocean Territory.
The chain of events this week kicked off early Tuesday with President Trump's Truth Social onslaught. Among several geopolitical-related messages, mostly on Greenland, he went after the Starmer government."

In Humiliating Retreat, Starmer Forced To Pull Chagos Bill After Trump Backlash

"After nearly four years of the Russia-Ukraine war, and the US having throughout poured billions into Kiev's military and civic services sector, there are signs that other American allies are experiencing extreme delays in pre-scheduled arms shipments because Washington's priorities are clearly elsewhere.
Israel over the past couple years has also been a high priority, amid its war in Gaza, which resulted in the US fast-tracking some bombs, ammo, and weapons deliveries. But countries like Japan are suffering from extreme delays, at a sensitive moment it is locked in an ongoing diplomatic standoff with China over the Japanese Prime Minister's Taiwan stance.
Nikkei has referenced a Japanese government internal investigation which found that "118 orders for U.S. military equipment worth 1.14 trillion yen ($7.21 billion) have not been delivered at least five years after the contracts were signed, in some cases forcing the Self-Defense Forces to use older equipment."

The Italian Government has learned with astonishment of President Trump's statements according to which NATO allies would have "stayed back" during operations in Afghanistan.
Following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, NATO activated Article 5 for the first and only time in its history: an extraordinary act of solidarity toward the United States.
In that massive operation against those who fueled terrorism, Italy responded immediately alongside its allies, deploying thousands of troops and taking full responsibility for Regional Command West, one of the most significant operational areas of the entire international mission.

Over the course of nearly twenty years of commitment, our Nation has borne a cost that cannot be disputed: 53 Italian soldiers fallen and over 700 wounded while engaged in combat operations, security missions, and training programs for Afghan forces.
For this reason, statements that minimize the contribution of NATO countries in Afghanistan are unacceptable, especially if they come from an allied Nation.
Italy and the United States are bound by a solid friendship, founded on a shared community of values and historical collaboration, which is even more necessary in the face of the many current challenges.
But friendship requires respect, a fundamental condition for continuing to ensure the solidarity at the heart of the Atlantic Alliance.
