Trump making China great again, driving our closest trade partners into their arms

Apparently there's a genuine problem in palaeontology with black market trafficking of T-Rex bones

Presumably it's part of the broader international small arms trade

While Trump threatens, bullies, and alienates U.S. allies, those allies are cutting deals elsewhere. Trump’s trade wars and militaristic threats are driving partners away and straight into China’s arms.

Honestly. I would trade in my self awareness for 20” arms.

Spain has fully implemented an arms embargo on Israel through a royal decree law.

All weapons sales, military tech trade, port access for fuel shipments, airspace use for arms transport and settlement goods imports have been banned.

End the two-way arms trade with Israel now.

The UK is so 'appalled' at events in the West Bank that it:

❌ refuses to ban trade with illegal settlements
❌ keeps military accord with Israel
❌ keeps 'trade & partnership' accord
❌ continues arms exports
❌ refuses to mention Israeli nuclear arms
❌ refuses to respond to ICJ ruling on OPTs

Economists will still be calculating a decade from now how many trillions of trade dollars Trump drove into the welcoming arms of China's economy.

Of course, riot control agents / tear gas are weapons. They are chemical arms. By definition, companies making/selling such devices and munitions are the arms industry/arms trade.

OK, as promised, here's my thread about the links between tear gas/pepper spray and the arms trade and gun industry.

Israel’s three largest arms corporations, which all supply the Israeli military, have been allowed by the UK government to exhibit at the DSEI London arms fair in September:

🇮🇱 Elbit Systems
🇮🇱 Israel Aerospace Industries
🇮🇱 Rafael

“Maybe we need to be closer to China.” @rory-stewart.bsky.social explains how the trade war has driven the US’s European allies into the arms of China.

South Korea, Japan, and China are strengthening their trade ties.

It’s almost as if the people who said that Donald Trump’s tariffs would push countries into the arms of Xi and China for trade were right, and Donald was wrong.

Again.

Slovenia to ban arms trade with Israel.

it is a genocide, and as with all wars, also a trade show for arms manufacturers
Renowned Greek doctor describes bombs that produce shrapnel that makes tiny entry-wounds in the necks of children in Gaza, travelling through them such "that their larynx, their trachea, their spine had been destroyed."

"So these children could be 'used' to show how... effective these bombs are."

Happens every time. Why does arms trade find it so hard to comply with law?
Paid a visit to the London arms fair today...

Found a component for cluster munitions, banned under international law, on full display.

Confirmed by staff, and removed swiftly by event organisers. But what else remains?

These vile weapons should never be peddled in the UK.

Israel needs to be sanctioned and isolated. Every state needs to impose an arms and trade embargo.

The India trade deal is nowhere. The Indonesia deal is collapsing. And the Vietnam deal has driven them into the arms of the Chinese.

3/ Canada must bring sanctions against Israel, cancel the Canada-Israel free trade agreement, implement a real two-way arms embargo, and use every diplomatic and economic tool at our disposal to rein in Israel.

Is there a way I can trade my crippling self awareness for 20” arms and a 50” chest? Asking for me.

What a wonderful sight.

Britain says no to Israel's Genocide.

End the arms sales.

Impose trade sanctions on Israel.
