Tragic to the last
Ishiba moves towards the exit
News broke a short time ago that Prime Minister Ishiba will likely be leaving the premiership in August. Here, I explain why he has little choice but to go, how the US-Japan trade deal contributed to his decision, and offered some initial thoughts on his tenure.

Trump’s auto tariffs build on a long destructive history
[FREE TO READ] It is US protectionism rather than trade barriers abroad that has undermined American carmakers
My Trade Secrets today.
It's a longstanding American grievance that predates Trump: US companies can't sell cars in Europe & elsewhere because of evil trade barriers. It's actually because US protectionism has encouraged its carmakers to make clunky great gas-guzzlers no one else wants to buy.

Shortwave listeners noting China already taking over some frequencies used by VOA and RFA as USAGM has silenced its own transmitters. Especially critical with thousands of casualties in the Myanmar M7.7 quake where survivors would normally be receiving vital info from our Burmese language services.

WSJ: “.. Tariffs on washing machines created an estimated 1,800 jobs at firms like Samsung, according to a study .. but they cost consumers about $1.5 billion annually, or more than $800,000 per job.” 🇺🇸

That sinking feeling when you catch yourself agreeing with Kagan or Frum or Kristol — architects of foreign policy disasters that helped create today’s mess. Like begrudgingly admitting an arsonist makes a good point about fire safety.

Trump tariff war would hurt Boeing more than Airbus
The U.S. plane-maker could be the “biggest victim” of a tariff war.
Donald Trump's tariff wars are supposed to herald a new American dream.
But they could become a nightmare for Boeing, which is in danger of suffering more than its rival Airbus.

As Trump pivots to Russia, allies weigh sharing less intel with U.S.
Members of the so-called Five Eyes spy alliance, as well as Israeli and Saudi officials, fear the identities of foreign assets could inadvertently be shared with Moscow.
NEW: Some U.S. allies are considering scaling back the intelligence they share with Washington in response to the Trump administration’s conciliatory approach to Russia, sources with direct knowledge of the discussions tell NBC News.

This seems a tad excessive. Navarro has denied this, but perhaps what's equally concerning is that such a reckless move is eminently plausible in today’s America.

NEW: updated long-run gap in voting between young men and women in Germany:
Gender divide continues to widen, but contrary to what is often assumed, young men continue to vote roughly in line with the overall population, while young women have swung sharply left.
