Europa kan inte lita på Donald Trump. 

Så fort en deadline med Putin närmar sig backar han ur.  Enligt Trump är det nu upp till Zelenskyj, som kommer att besöka Washington igen under måndagen. Signalen är tydlig: Bollen ligger hos Ukraina.

Det visar att det för Europas del bara finns en sak att göra nu: Erbjuda Ukraina sitt ovillkorliga stöd, så att en fred endast kommer till på landets egna villkor.

Fake?

Copilot: The B-2 bomber flyover during the Trump–Putin meeting in Alaska was real, not fake.

- On August 15, 2025, as Presidents Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin met at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Alaska, a B-2 Spirit stealth bomber flew overhead, flanked by four F-35 fighter jets.

- This dramatic display was widely interpreted as a symbolic show of American military power, timed precisely with the leaders' handshake and arrival.

- The flyover was part of a choreographed pageantry meant to underscore U.S. strength during high-stakes talks, particularly regarding the war in Ukraine.

- The B-2 bomber, known for its stealth and long-range strike capabilities, had recently been used in operations against Iranian nuclear facilities, adding weight to its presence.

 - Social media and news outlets lit up with commentary, calling it an “insane flex” and a “pointed reminder” of U.S. dominance.

- Putin reportedly looked up and made a comment to Trump as the aircraft passed overhead.

So yes, the event actually happened—and it was very much designed to be seen.

Pfizer in 2019 sold $20 billion of drugs in the U.S. Its federal tax bill? Zero; Ireland

Trump has already singled out pharma companies and countries like Ireland that reap the benefits of tax-avoidance moves.  Despite its small size, Ireland ran an $87 billion trade surplus with the U.S. last year—larger than any country except China, Mexico and Vietnam. https://www.wsj.com/health/pharma/how-trumps-tariffs-could-upend-pharmas-overseas-tax-strategy-5b8ca758 Is Ireland vulnerable again as the world’s vast shadow banking system starts to crack? Shadow banking is the dog that has not barked during the latest global spasm of financial stress. This is very fortunate, especially for small countries such as Ireland that have bet the farm on this industry. https://englundmacro.blogspot.com/2023/04/is-ireland-vulnerable-again-as-worlds.html Cayman Islands https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cayman_Islands What the heck is happening in the Cayman Islands?

The breakdown of monetarism During the past decade, the links between economic activity, inflation, and monetary policy that were taken for granted in the 1980s and 1990s have completely broken down.  The pre-crisis dogma that inflation “is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon” has turned out to be nonsense, at least for advanced economies, where central banks have printed money like wallpaper without any inflationary response. Anatole Kaletsky Project Syndicate 23 April 2019 https://englundmacro.blogspot.com/2019/05/equity-prices-bond-prices-qand.html Detta är den grundläggande tanken för det som följer: Det fördes länge en debatt om vilket M som skulle vara bäst för att förutse framtiden.
