After Ke8, Qg2... Bb7 gets out of the mess fine. Therefore white has no advantage /s

Less evil than IMF offer is. You'd need a specific problem with the loan that would make it corrupt/unacceptable, which I've never seen pointed out.

Batteries are getting cheaper, and have high charge/discharge rates. Flywheels can maybe double as AC/DC conversion, but their role is closer to a capacitor than a battery.

What distinguishes H2 is that it is transportable/exportable energy, that also has alternate chemical uses. It is ideal aviation fuel. Sure making it has some expense/loss, but storing it is $1/kwh electric (also contains heat energy that when used in a fuel cell matches the typical domestic hot water energy fraction). Transporting H2 energy by truck is cheaper than electricity by wire. Because H2 can be produced at convenience (solar surplus), and made available for user convenience later, it can be cheaper energy overall, and improve the total utilization of renewable+battery/static storage systems.

California rates are high because everyone has to pay for forest fires. Everyone except shareholders.

Hydrogen/electro chemistry is another use of too much batteries.

Speaking of too much battery, an EV range is often 3-5 times daily use (60km average per day is vehicle average, but many use less). It's not a big deal to have several days worth of fuel in your tank, and so V2G is a good way to have too much batteries, and let consumers profit from their vehicle. This is the app that exterminates oil and other FFs. Hydrogen or your listed apps are good ways to drain having too much battery charge for the next day.

It's a function of sanctions. Reason North won the original elections was they were doing better economically, and less corrupt. Sieged economies do poorly, and it makes rest of the world look good.

All of our federal party leaders are CIA stooges, and so this proposal would give Canadians representation over our rulership.

Surely 10 individual states is more appropriate.

We'd be in a much worse pension and healthcare position, and would be bailing out US federal debt. US debt levels are literally on the verge of collapsing the country. Not only is like minded US states joining Canada a far better alternative to fascism and prevents divisiveness symptom of collapse, the appropriate timing of such a merger is after the US defaults on its debt.

A city in a country under rather strict tech embagos

Chinese tech is not embargoed and, despite less cool videos, actually widely deployed.

Martial law is traditional South Korea governance.

The line dividing North and South Korea was created by US as it took it over from Japan after ww2, with puppet corrupt government installed.

The Korean war was instigated by US after national elections had North Korean as victor who threatened to unify and kick US out. Corrupt autocracy prevailed until 1980, and then the “democracy” that has followed since is/was an oligarchy of historically pro-Japanese family dynasty industrial champions.

Yet another sham the US calls a “democratic ally” for hegemonic legtimacy.

This is a combination of Neocon colonial handlers promising to please Trump through every imaginable increase in warmongering submission to keep war ongoing, and deeply misplaced optimism that Trump's pro US oligarchy/monopoly profits will help economic growth instead of just the stock market.

Technically, high cost of living increases from tariffs and deportations can be "nominal economic growth". Insurance costs will keep skyrocketing from high replacement costs of homes and autos, and pessimism over global warming. If US massively increases government spending, the growth forecast is possible, but then so is collapse and debt default.

The growth forecasts will be accurate if colonial subjugation increases even more, but EU leaders during Trump45 had more backbone as a result of his disrespect. Everything is extremely uncertain, but there is more likely to be a US led global recession than anything else.

Headline is a bit inaccurate. "If they use anything other than dollar" is the quote.

While neocon colonial handlers have been making the west puppets fall over themselves over offering more war, there was already a strong division in the world.

Trade prevents wars. The world becoming more divided will make the US more isolated, and anger the low hanging fruit of dealing with decline. Investment outside of the US and its influence have already taken off. This posturing is not significantly different than the path the Biden administration set on, but there is a matter of style that will cause the US colonies to choose between dignity and extreme ever subjugated diminishment to US control and profits, even as the US itself causes its own decline.

NATO and other US colonies submitted harder to US under Biden. In part, it made political sense to boost US in order to prevent Trump again. The CIA loyal colonial institutions that made that happen though, are pushing for total capitulation instead of the escape hatch that China/world provides.

Fentanyl, FYI is used in hospitals extensively because it is a cheaper opiate on a per dose basis. It is not a cause of opiate addiction, but instead has a high risk of overdose death as a result of typically accidental use instead of heroin. Anti-immigration positions in Canada are gaining strength mostly because of the systemic collapse of the last 4 years of subjugation creates pessimism over sustainability that is required for policies like education or immigration to eventually pay off.

Instead of banning fentanyl, and growing opium in Canadian greenhouses for traditional opiate industry, and limiting immigration even more, including visa requirements from countries Trump hates, Canada is begging for the privilege of funding perpetual Ukraine war, and acting as force multiplier on war with China.

OTOH, this latest call is a ploy to get US-Canada to jointly isolate from the world. Mexico has already been cooperative with China, and has a massive opportunity to become Central and South American manufacturing hub in addition to significant cost of living comparative advantage.

Even if US accepts Canada as part of its island, it will continue escalation of demands.

However, petrified that Trump may turn his back on the war, there is a school of thought in Europe that they could offer something interesting to incentivise him other than the carrot of Ukraine’s vast stores of critical minerals that Americans lack — eg., more trading incentives for America; greater spending on NATO; more pressure on Iran; “peacekeeping boots on the ground” inside Ukraine; help in Trump’s upcoming economic skirmishes with China and so on.

and US volunteering their sycophancy under similar lines: https://www.atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/new-atlanticist/how-europe-can-save-nato/

Ukraine was always a primarily a war on subjugating Europe. Energy focused as usual.
