I’m not tracking Trump or his admin having had any involvement in that Cuban shooting nor any follow-up of significance. I get that there is a US nexus and Trump is president, but is it not more than a little off topic?

A new reason that he wants to start bombing Iran as quickly as possible now. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/25/us/politics/trump-epstein-files.html

We need to prepare for the US to be a longlasting existential threat until it shows that it is not. Assuming a prompt and stable return to old normals is a hope CoA, and I do hope that is what we see … but we cannot plan on a hope CoA.

I don’t think we will need to defeat the US militarily, but otherwise yes. The healing between our countries would definitely be accelerated by substantial systemic governance reform and a repentant population in the US. Trump is just a symptom of a broken US system that allowed him to happen...

It took about 130 years, two world wars, and the threat of a third such war with Soviets to get over 1812. Recovery from MAGA might be quicker, but it’s still decades away.

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cn5gk15rr70o The answer is that Iran knows he bluffs, blusters, lies, and TACOs.

Trump's Global Tariffs were never about Canada. So Trump's Global Tariff Tantrum will not be about Canada either.

He’s upping the global tariffs even more. 10% to 15% now. https://www.ctvnews.ca/world/trumps-tariffs/article/trump-says-hes-increasing-the-worldwide-tariff-from-10-to-15-per-cent/

$40B investment in concentration camps planned. https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2026/02/13/ice-detention-center-expansion/

A positive outcome, but still needs to pass Senate & not get vetoed. https://www.ctvnews.ca/world/trumps-tariffs/article/us-house-backs-resolution-to-end-trumps-tariffs-on-canada/

Trump didn’t propose a federal elections system. He proposed that the Republicans take it over … he proposed a single system controlled by one of the parties. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c0mke841zj0o

Those are both jobs that our enemies and allies employ MBT to achieve. Canada’s cavalry doctrine was spawned to make sense when CA had armour regiments rolling in TAPV. Then Medium Cavalry became the hope CoA to get those regiments into something more capable when we did not expect we would...

Running into walls turns out less effective than tripping out of windows. https://apnews.com/article/immigration-enforcement-minneapolis-hospitals-32cd5ca61d495e155d43b7cfd5e563b9

He walked that back out of greed. He tasted power and wanted to keep it.

Tyranny of the majority is what FPTP was designed to produce. It’s what gives majority governments to less than majority winners, it’s what leads to governments that lack regional representation, and it’s what feed the false narrative that provinces are uniform seas of red, blue, or orange.

I think he's at Crazy Cat Lady stage of being a master strategist & negotiator. Pull things from your hammer space, throw everything, see what sticks.

A real army might be buying more MBT instead of medium cavalry.

You don't buy weapons with a significant cyber component from someone who has recently threatened you. There may not be a bespoke "kill switch" but the country with proprietary access to the hardware and software is the country who knows the known vulnerabilities.

Took so long to position assets to attack Iran, he seems to have forgotten this was about supporting protesters from reprisals. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cly5pd459gko … or maybe he is just in a hurry to change the channel on domestic protests snd state reprisals.

Over just ~ a month, ICE violated ~100 court orders in just Minnesota. The executive is unchecked by the judiciary. https://www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01/28/us/minneapolis-shooting-ice-minnesota?smid=url-share#heres-the-latest
