I'd give 10 bucks to be able to hear and read all his personal correspondence these days :)

People forget who he used to work for...

Yep. But who he used to work for is hand in hand with the Wall Street-Goldman Sachs-etc axis.

And right now they are being shit on.

As someone who has always believed that whether it's Bush or Clinton or Trump--- *certain* entities get to control the big picture - one way or another.

So I'm wondering - are said entities going to allow this to continue IN EXCHANGE for something juicy - like an Iran war or bigger war?

OR are said entities going to deal with what they feel is a big problem.

Bessent was Wall Street's boy in this administration.

Hence I'd love to know his thinking and private commentary at this point.

I'll repeat: If there's no major war thing, and no major change in course---- keep being nice to VP Vance....be real nice to him.

So I'm wondering - are said entities going to allow this to continue IN EXCHANGE for something juicy - like an Iran war or bigger war?

If you don't want war with China, then forcibly decoupling from them right now is what everyone should be rooting for.

Why?

Because a China that has the West by the short hairs with respect to trade in cheap goods, has its world's-largest Navy sitting on trade choke points and is in control of vital minerals...has no checks on it in terms of what it can and will do.

Oh, be a real shame if we cut off your pharmaceuticals, wouldn't it? You don't have a problem with us just taking all these islands in the South China Sea, right?

That's the future we were heading towards. Would I have done everything the way Trump has? No. But that doesn't mean that a strategic economic decoupling from then isn't vitally necessary. Our Emotional Thespians on this board can't seem to process that.
