As the world falls apart you cannot but help laugh at some of the situations that arise. The latest is the incompetent manner of Trump and his Tariffs. Such tariffs are not unknown, but it needs to be said that the normal practice is to make use of them in a manner helpful to your own economy, not in a scattergun approach making use of little intelligence or understanding of the costs to your self. Trump has done this in a rather silly manner.
The two I like best are the penguins on Heard Island & Macdonald Islands. Here the penguins comprise the totality of the population yet Trump has demanded tariffs be placed on them. The Emperors will not be pleased.
However, he has gone further, a US base in the India ocean has also been targeted for tariffs, quite what exports come from an unoccupied island that possesses only US military men is not clear. Maybe Trump knows better than everyone else?
The tariffs could lead to economic meltdown around the world, 1929 and all that once again. Our prized bank accounts bulging at the seams, no they really are, will easily be emptied and soup kitchens may well be our lot some day soon.
This could be the end of the world.
It could be just another warning.
It certainly starts with Putin making use of gullible greedy people, hello Mr Farage, and the neoliberals continuing their quest to make the peasants pay while they enrich themselves.
Christians must ready themselves for all situations. Whatever happens trusting in Jesus will see us through this. Following the worlds way will drag us down. Our God cares, we must also.

By the way, I’ve just shared a new post—you might enjoy it: www.melodyjacob.com. Hope it adds something meaningful to your day.
Our daily newscast opened up with the caption "Tariff Tensions". And then, they proceeded to give us all the bad news. They really don't have to "name" these broadcasts, but they do.
Melody, Best to be prepared.
Kay, It's all a game to him.
