And very few people know the history of WW2 - me included (dont feel bad). Taiwan had special significance to Japan because Taiwan is an unsinkable aircraft carrier - Japan used Taiwan to launch airstrikes against China.
Biden is under the thumb of Japan. Like it or not, we are a debtor nation. Japan owns our debt.
When your bank says do what we say or no more spice?
You take ORDERS.
I hate Mike Pompeo, but I will listen to what he says.

It is highly unusual for canadian dollar not to track oil
here is UUP vs oil
uup is the dollar; pink is oil and its inverted.
the fed is attempting to use USD strength to attack oil
Usually it works.

USDJPY is a currency pair - if japanese yen gets weaker, USD gets stronger.

when oil price gets high their currency gets stronger. to counteract that, canada will lower interest rates (canada is an export nation - they dont want a strong currency)

On the far left, it didnt follow the yellow line at all.
that changed in 2020
