Reeeeee-globalization? – The New World Order

It’s the start of winter, 2022, and you’re the typical British geriatric. You’re feeling confident that it will be a mild winter, having just voted Liz Truss into parliament, you feel proud to call yourself Briton. Sure, the Christmas ham this year is going to cost 30 to 60% more than a year before, but at least those pesky Germans aren’t holding your country back from achieving its full potential anymore. As you lay to rest by the warmth of your gas-fueled furnace, you drift off, certain that your country’s political woes are in the past. You know Britain’s future is bright. Long live the queen. \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_

Unfortunately, your fantasy is cut short by the sound of Ukrainian refugees busking for change on the street. You realize, with a sudden sense of dread, the Queen is dead, Liz Truss has resigned from office, and your pension is made up almost entirely of over-leveraged gilt-edged securities. That's right, the Yanks have pulled yet another feather from their caps, and much like the winter of 1776, are crossing the Delaware to deliver a frigid surprise.

*TL;DR -* **Britain’s only reward for demolishing the Nord Stream 2 pipeline is higher interest rates and a stronger U.S. Dollar. The European economy is collateral damage for the U.S.’s hegemonic assertion of dominance over its oriental brethren. By sacrificing their pensions and currencies, the plurality of European citizens will allow the greatest nation, the United States, to live another day. We thank you for your service.**

**As failed economic policy gives way to tactical retreat, keep an eye out for ‘friendshoring’ and opportunities to invest in the United State's new strategic industrial allies, like Mexico and Haiti.**

**As for our former friends across the Atlantic? Good riddance.**
