“Bear in mind that this crisis is entirely gratuitous. Canada has done nothing wrong. Even if one buys into Trumpian nonsense about how every nation that sells us more than it buys is ripping us off, Canada isn’t a villain. Last year Canada did run a modest trade surplus with the United States in goods, but more than half of this imbalance was offset by a U.S. surplus in services. Overall trade between our nations was almost balanced.

So what is this about? Clearly, we’re looking at a symptom of deranged Trump syndrome. As Trump’s failures, from soaring fuel prices to plunging approval, multiply, he is doubling down on his disrespect for and attempted bullying of our northern neighbor and former ally. That is, you should think of this conflict not as something reflecting U.S. national interests, but as a form of self-medication from a sundowning president.“

❗️Wow.. Ukraine appears to have pushed its drone campaign deeper into Russia than ever before. Russian officials reported a drone attack on Novy Urengoy in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, roughly 2,500 km (!!) from Ukraine. Authorities claimed falling drone debris caused a fire at an industrial facility, with no casualties reported. One possible target is Gazprom's Novy Urengoy condensate processing facility, which has a designed processing capacity of 19.5 million tonnes per year. #Russia

Iran fired 20 missiles at Jordan and the US may have burned up to 100 Patriot interceptors defending it, roughly 5 to 10 percent of remaining stock in one night. That's the actual story here, not whether Trump can spin this as winning while Brent crude creeps toward $100 a barrel.

Seems like it should be a bigger deal that Spineless Speaker Johnson and House Republicans are canceling the final two weeks of September and leaving D.C. until after the midterms (to block another Epstein files bill for Trump)
