The Art of the Trade War
Trade wars are like awkward family feuds, but instead of yelling at Thanksgiving dinner, politicians slap each other with tariffs like they're in a passive-aggressive game of economic dodgeball. One country raises steel tariffs, another retaliates with a cheese embargo, and suddenly world leaders are arguing over dairy like it's a geopolitical episode of MasterChef. Meanwhile, politicians give dramatic speeches about "protecting national interests," which loosely translates to, "We have no idea what we’re doing, but it sounds patriotic." In the end, nobody wins—except maybe smugglers and black market avocado dealers.

As international competition heats up in the Arctic, where Russia is building bases and America eyes Greenland, analysts warn that US-Canada ties could worsen, potentially putting mutual defenses at risk from a Russian or Chinese nuclear attack.
