EU Declares War on the US: Comprehensive Ban on Apple and Goldman Sachs?
1. US-EU Tariff War: Verbal Attacks First
The EU threatens to ban American technology and banks, but it seems more like a bluff—after all, 40% of European chips are imported from the US; if they really banned it, even their own car manufacturers would have to stop production. Once Trump's tariff policy is implemented tonight, both sides are likely to continue shouting at each other while negotiating.
2. Russia and Ukraine Completely at Odds
Putin rejects Trump's negotiation proposal and simultaneously drafts 160,000 troops—equivalent to sending all adult males from Moscow to the front lines. Russian forces have already occupied 70,000 square kilometers of Ukraine (the combined area of the Netherlands and Belgium), and the next step may involve a strong attack on Odessa.
3. The Middle East Powder Keg is About to Explode
US B2 bombers are stationed in the Red Sea, yet Saudi Arabia prohibits its bases from being used to attack Iran—much like Saudi Arabia's attitude before 9/11. Hamas suddenly expresses willingness to release hostages but demands the US to rebuild Gaza? This delayed compromise instead exposes their weakness.
4. Tariff Nuclear Alert
Trump plans to impose a 500% tariff on countries buying Russian minerals—this is harsher than direct sanctions! The recently signed oil settlement agreement in yuan between China and Russia could become a lifeline, but international oil prices may plummet to $60.
5. Underlying Currents in the Asia-Pacific
The Philippines' $5.5 billion purchase of F16s is a total rip-off (the price is enough to buy 3 J-20s), and American arms dealers are laughing all the way to the bank...
