The #tariffs hit hundreds of #US products, including steel, aluminum, cheese, appliances, clothing, cosmetics & farm equipment, at rates of 15%, 25% or 50%.

#Canada says its tariffs match #Trump’s dollar for dollar & rate for rate. They took effect at 12:01AM Tues under an executive action known as an order in council & cover ~$20 billion in US goods, ~6% of the $333.6 billion the US exported to Canada last year.

#Canada struck back at #Trump Tuesday with #tariffs on about $20 billion worth of #US goods, in response to the latest round of #TrumpTariffs on Canada.

The outcome could resonate far beyond Canada, showing other governments whether a smaller US ally can withstand Trump’s economic pressure [ #MafiaState ].

Interesting! Formal description of the martial perspective of this (I think perhaps a closely related) system is largely attributed to Kurt von Hammerstein-Equord.

> I distinguish four types. There are clever, hardworking, stupid, and lazy officers. Usually two characteristics are combined. Some are clever and hardworking; their place is the General Staff. The next ones are stupid and lazy; they make up 90 percent of every army and are suited to routine duties. Anyone who is both clever and lazy is qualified for the highest leadership duties, because he possesses the mental clarity and strength of nerve necessary for difficult decisions. One must beware of anyone who is both stupid and hardworking; he must not be entrusted with any responsibility because he will always only cause damage.

Iran's Parliament Speaker Qalibaf warns US oil & gas assets across the Gulf are now fair game if Washington strikes Iranian energy infrastructure again — a sharp broadening of Tehran's retaliation doctrine beyond shipping and military targets, after weekend US strikes on three Iranian tankers pushed oil prices to six-week highs.

Tehran shifts its Hormuz doctrine: moving away from a total blockade toward institutionalized maritime warfare.

By creating a managed transit corridor with Oman and targeting global shipping services—insurers, operators, and classification societies—Iran is countering the US naval embargo with a regulatory "blockade for blockade."
