The US is using tariffs to force Canada and Mexico into stopping alleged cross border flows of fentanyl.

One view is that this signals the US genuinely wants to protect its population from fentanyl.

But another is that the US wants to become the global supplier of fentanyl. 🧵 Image

After the US invaded Afghanistan in 2001, Afghanistan’s poppy fields went from a minor portion of global opium production to supplying the vast majority of the world’s consumption.

When the US finally left in mid 2021 and the Taliban retook control, opium production plummeted. Image
Image
But while opium requires copious labor and vast fields of poppies to generate a significant yield, enough synthetic opioids to supply entire countries can be produced in a single lab by a few chemists.

It’d be hard to imagine a better drug for raising dark money. Image

Trump 𝘪𝘴 stupid, but it would be better if we stopped seeing these threats as the boorish impulses of one man…

…and started understanding them as part of a very intentional strategy of an empire cannibalizing its subordinates. Image
Image
Image
Image
I’m sorry, but positing that Trump is some rogue agent acting in brash opposition to imperial interests is swallowing the kayfabe almost as hard as his fans.

When faced with the demands of a hostile US, what are “allies” going to do? Say no and join the global south? Be serious.
The US is an empire in rapid decline because its system of global monopoly power is being eroded by China.

The only tool it has remaining to buoy itself (outside of global war) is forcing its subordinates heads underwater.

An interesting detail about the arrest of Mangione that many seem to be missing:

He wasn’t spotted by an employee, he was spotted by a *customer*, who has yet to be identified. Image
This interview with another customer who was there at the time recounts someone who said “that looks like the shooter from New York”

He and his group laughed it off and left the restaurant, and only later learned that Mangione was arrested after they left.
So this raises the question: who was witness who identified Mangione?

And not only identified him, but was so sure of his identification that he presumably prompted a McDonalds employee to call 911?

The rise of Trump and Trumpism cannot be fully explained without first recognizing how, over the last two decades, American politics has been shaped by the rise of China. 🧵 Image
Despite both parties preferring to deemphasize foreign policy in their campaigns, US foreign policy is the engine driving domestic policy. This is because modern US domestic politics is fundamentally a game of dividing up the plunder that foreign policy secures.
This plunder arrives in the form of persistent federal govt budget deficits which are maintained via the exorbitant privilege of the US dollar’s position as global reserve currency, an arrangement forced upon the rest of the globe in the ashes of the world wars of last century. Image

US-backed attempts at foreign destabilization always try to leverage *real* grievances, not to bring any resolution to the aggrieved. Quite the opposite, they attempt to intensify.

The only correct position for the western left to take is to oppose *ALL* forms of intervention.

Yellen is once again traveling to Beijing, this time to try to get China to curb “overproduction”.

What's the real goal? 🧵 Image
The goal of this pressure campaign is to somehow convince China to self-sabotage the foundation of their budding prosperity—their means of production—thereby eliminating the competition.

Why don't the capitalist countries try to out-compete China on commodity prices instead?
Image
Image
They've tried!

But due to decades of offshoring productive capacity and hoovering up their best and brightest minds into the financial and "tech" sectors, regaining a competitive edge will require a lot more effort than simply throwing money at the problem.
