That Economist cover sure captures the mood of the American Eagle - the only obvious missing element is a box labelled "Rape Kit".

It was interesting to hear your quote of the Canadian leader, describing the US as trying to "break us, so they can own us". As a US citizen of one of the existing 50 states, I am feeling the same sentiment right now, and my response is similar to the Canadian one !

With respect to Hegseth, wonder if you've seen this recent development, characterized as Hegseth declaring war on Iran on behalf of the USA, by tweet.

“You know very well what the U.S. Military is capable of — and you were warned,” Hegseth’s post reads. “You will pay the CONSEQUENCE at the time and place of our choosing.”
