In discussing the role of Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney to block the geopolitical split caused by U.S. President Trump’s America-First policy, the Wall Street Journal did a deep dive into Carney’s travels and conversations.

This part was interesting: “Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s administration had been startled when ¹Trudeau’s government discreetly asked British intelligence chiefs to start discussing how they might band together if the U.S. left Five Eyes, the U.S.-led intelligence-sharing alliance. MI6 turned them down, as the vast majority of intelligence that flowed through that club came from Washington. The idea never gained traction, Canadian officials said, and Carney didn’t try to resurface it.”  {SOURCE}

The Wall Street journal also inadvertently outlined why the generally unknown Mark Carney was selected by the Canadian leftists: “he texted European leaders he’d known from the finance world, like Rothschild banker Emmanuel Macron, now France’s president; onetime chairman of BlackRock’s German subsidiary, Friedrich Merz, now German chancellor; and the European Investment Bank’s Alexander Stubb, now Finland’s president.” Now you understand why CTH began watching Carney closely, as Trudeau was announcing his exit. Carney was planned as a counter to Trump’s 2024 victory.

Turkish President Recep Erdogan is disliked by EU NATO elites in precisely the same manner as they dislike President Donald Trump.  Erdogan is not a good guy in regional politics, but he is respected for the national strength he has created.

¹The five-eyes intelligence construct, specifically the Intelligence Community actors within it, is not the good guys.  There’s a reason why Vladimir Putin says, ‘I do not hate Americans, I dislike the CIA.’

I have no fact-based idea why President Trump is sending the new Airforce One to the United Kingdom, while the President takes the older airplane.  However, I’m pretty certain this is not about having U.S. military stationed at Mildenhall Air Force Base, get a tour of it.

During our recent group chat, we were all in agreement….

President Donald Trump, Turkish President Recep Erdogan NATO General Secretary Mark Rutte are scheduled to deliver statements and take media questions at the conclusion of the 2026 NATO Summit in Ankara, Turkey.

Even NATO organizers are unsure what the communication flow will present. Therefore, I am providing livestreams that may or may not be direct to the pressers.

President Donald Trump and the non-elected leader of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, hold a bilateral meeting on the sidelines of the 2026 NATO Summit in Ankara, Turkey.

After customary gracious and diplomatic introductions, President Trump held a presser taking questions from the assembled press pool.  The first question was on the issue of Iran targeting ships in the Strait of Hormuz, with President Trump noting each aggressive action by Iran will be met with massive retaliatory action from the U.S. military.

“For 47-years they have been the bully of the Middle-East,” Trump noted, “they are not going to be the bully anymore.”

On the subject of Russia-Ukraine, President Trump complimented Ukraine’s military bravery and stated his belief that Russia is in position to seek a ceasefire agreement.  In a remarkable surprise, President Trump also noted the U.S. is going to give licenses to build Patriot Missile systems in Europe, and those missiles will likely be sold to Ukraine.

President Trump held a bilateral meeting with NATO General Secretary Mark Rutte earlier today during the NATO Summit in Ankara, Turkey.

WATCH THIS ONE!

During the press availability President Trump noted the Memorandum of Understanding with Iran has been essentially nullified, and the U.S. is responding with 20:1 retaliatory military strike into Iran. Trump noted “they’re scum” when discussing the lies from the Iranian regime.

Moving to NATO, President Trump specifically called out the weak NATO members who stood by and did nothing while Iran was building nuclear threats. President Trump called out France, Germany and the U.K. specifically, with a strong condemnation of Spain for their political interference.

President Trump pulled no punches and further stated that all U.S. trade with Spain should be immediately discontinued as a consequence of their interference and lack of support for security goals and objectives. WATCH:

.

Do not skip this press availability.  President Trump speaks plainly about the geopolitical dynamics throughout the region and beyond.  This is a level of brutal honesty that will never be repeated in American politics.

CNN Narrative Engineer Dana Bash clutches her pearls in worry about a potentially weakened position for Israel against the backdrop of President Trump visiting Turkey and structuring diplomatic relations with Recep Erdogan.

It seems quite odd to see CNN have great concerns about the well-being of Israel given their leading role as critics against the actions of Israel.  Then again, CNN has the art of pretending down pat.  The transparency is laughable.  WATCH:

President Trump and Turkish President Recep Erdogan hold a bilateral meeting in Ankara, Turkey, ahead of the beginning of the NATO summit.   President Trump and President Erdogan exchanged pleasantries, appreciation and mutual respect in their introduction with the media.  Video Prompted to 01:45

The first question to President Trump was about selling F-35’s to Turkey.  President Trump notes the issue should not be controversial as Turkey is a NATO ally.  People who are concerned about F-35 sales, should publicly explain why a NATO member should be denied an allied weapon.

President Trump also noted there is a chemistry of honesty between himself and President Erdogan.  He said directly if the NATO summit were not being held in Ankara, there is a strong possibility President Trump would not have attended.  This positions Erdogan with strong respect as expressed by President Trump.

Again, President Trump outlines the specifics of why the European members of NATO are no longer reliable allies.  In a weird way this is the exact same long-term position of Turkey and explains the synergy between the two leaders on the issue.

You have to really understand the NATO relationship with Turkey, Recep Erdogan and, well, essentially the Muslim Brotherhood, to understand the dynamics at play.

Turkish President Recep Erdogan is a perfectly Turkish man of notoriously intemperate disposition.

Erdogan wears many masks; however, unlike many leaders he does so publicly.  He will say whatever is needed to make the ‘West’ think they have upper hand, while doing exactly the opposite.

Erdogan will decry terrorism, take in Syrian refugees and simultaneously kill Kurds, and provide safe harbor for the worst elements of The Muslim Brotherhood (political Islam).  No one sleeps in Erdogan’s camp without one eye open and a weapon under their pillow.

The ‘West’ hates his duplicity and leverage.  The Russians don’t trust him an inch. The Arabs think he’s sketchy, and the Persians tolerate him.  However, Erdogan is centered in the Gateway between the Middle East and Europe; even Turkey’s geography is critical.

There is only one guy in global politics who interacts with Recep Erdogan in a way that generates mutual respect; that guy is Donald Trump.  The skillset that Trump carries is his lack of pretending, his brutal honesty in every interaction.   Trump could be standing next to Erdogan at a presser, answer a question and say, “He’s a strong man, he’s probably lying, but that’s ok, I like him, it’s strong politics, you can’t be weak we will figure it out.”…. To wit Erdogan won’t flinch an inch but smile inside.

In a weird way, 99% of the viewing public will not understand the dynamic of this relationship, but it’s funny.  If there was one global leader who would be disliked by NATO more than Erdogan, it’s probably Trump.  The two non-pretending leaders -absolutely critical for everything- have a great deal of mutual respect for each other. There’s a reason why the notoriously insufferable NATO manipulator met President Trump at the airport, with an official greeting. WATCH:

There’s a reason why President Erdogan arranged a state arrival ceremony and honor guard review for President Trump in Ankara.  Video Below:

Both Toyota and Honda had previously warned the Canadian government that without the USMCA they would shift production from Canada to the U.S. to avoid tariffs and secure long-term manufacturing stability.  We presume a similar message was conveyed to Mexico.

Earlier today Toyota announced they were moving half of their Tacoma Truck production from Mexico to an expanded facility in Texas that will now encompass 5 million square feet in San Antonio.

(Bloomberg) — Toyota Motor Corp. is moving production of its popular Tacoma midsize truck from a plant in Mexico to San Antonio as part of a $3.6 billion investment in the Texas facility.

The Japanese carmaker will build a second production line in San Antonio, where it currently makes full-size pickups and SUVs, and add some 2,000 new jobs by 2030, it said Monday.

The shift, following Toyota’s pledge last year to spend $10 billion on its US manufacturing operations over the next decade, comes as talks between the US and Mexico to renew a North American free trade agreement have stalled. President Donald Trump, who has pressed Toyota to invest more in the US, let a July 1 deadline pass without a trade pact extension.

FACT: It has been over 60-years since Canada purchased a submarine.  FACT: Canada has never built one.  FACT: Currently the Canadian military have ONE operable submarine out of a fleet of four used ones previously purchased. FACT: Canada recently proclaimed themselves as the North American defender of the Arctic.

Now, put all those facts in the overlay of the December 2024 meeting in Mar-a-Lago between President Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.  President Trump was demanding that Trudeau increase their NATO spending and develop a working Canadian military.

Someone recently asked in the comments section why I have an issue with Canada, specifically why a new level of distain for our Northern neighbors.  Quite simply, there is a level of lying that exceeds my tongue bite capacity; that level of deceit comes when fabricating lies is accompanied by pretending. The Canadian government is the worst type of political abuser.  They willfully pretend and simultaneously lie to the Canadian people. That’s the answer.

Today, the government of Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney announce that German industrial shipbuilder TKMS will be awarded a contract for “up to 12 submarines” valued between $20 and $30 billion {source link}.  Now, let’s not pretend.

First, the submarine contract is intended to get Canada back into reasonable position on their NATO obligations.

In reality, it is quite remarkable to think about the Canadian nation with only one currently functional submarine. “Canada hasn’t purchased unused submarines since the 1960s, during the Cold War, and has never ordered anywhere near 12 at once. Canada currently owns four subs, all of which were purchased second-hand, and only one of which is typically operational.” {citation} Now, think about that Mar-a-Lago conversation again.

Second, Canada can’t build their own submarines?
