It's Ukraine's war, not ours. Trump is smart to withdraw US support as we never should have gotten involved in the first place.
US dollars being sent to Ukraine has prolonged the war. This war has made many people very rich with US dollars, and they don't want the gravy train to stop, even with the destruction of the nation.

Much love!

It's based on simple observation. We in Canada have somehow mysteriously just ended up with a new Liberal Prime Minister who identifies as European and has lived and worked over in Europe up until recently and there has already been talk and hints about joining the EU because of the tariffs. First thing he did as new PM was to fly over to Europe to greet Macron and King Charles. Hmmm.....oh dear.

This tariff war and threat of annexing Canada has also (apparently, if the media or the polls are to believed) detrimentally affected the polls in favour of the woke Liberal party. The more sensible Conservatives had gained and been way ahead of the Liberals up until that. We have a federal election at the end of this month. I hope for your sakes too that America first doesn't end up meaning America alone. Hope your administration down there is considering all the domino affects of what they are doing. The tariffs and "stick-it-to-you" rhetoric are affecting more things than just money.

Anyway.....the "good and evil" of this fallen world. What might seem good in one way can turn out to be evil in other ways. It's all in God's hands. Only His blessing addeth no sorrow to it......... if/when He is blessing.
but what if that was the intent all along .
They have plans . Folks have no idea what this agenda twenty thirty is all about .
ITS a SHIFT SISTER .
IF we even have to the year twenty twenty and eight , JUST wait
this will all back fire on the evangelical realm . But they arleady sold out
so they gonna go with the flow . GUESS who is going to get left holding the bag of blame at THAT POINT .
Folks like us sister , WHO never even were POTLICAL and yet just because we hold a bible
WE GET THE BLAME of TRUMP and all who also held a bible but HE DID DIRTY WORK .
People have no idea how clever satan is . Watch the news in the days ahead
and YOU SEE what it starts doing . It will be pushing two key things from time to time .
Number one it will use folks like trump and use words like fundamental
AND YET HE IS NOT FUNDMENTAL . but because he do hold a bible HE IS A REAL EASY TARGET for blame . NOT HIM
BUT THE BIBLE WILL BE THE BLAME SISTER . And they will continue to push the broad inclusive lovey do
and continue to expose what THEY cliam is fundamental . YOU WATCH . yet trump and them wicked nar men and women of belial
ARE NOT EVEN FUNDAMENTAL . THEY use the BIBLE but only as a means to decieve .
BUT it wont matter sister . THEY WILL lump ANYONE who holds a bible and wont conform INTO THE SAME CAMP.
ITS ALREADY GROWING in this direction . IT will get worse .

I would have thought of all people that conservative evangelicals and in America of all places,
Could it be that we know something you don't? That we recognize that God is in charge of who is in power? That we were prayerfully enduring the attacks on our nation as trials sent from God, and that now we are thankful for God's deliverance from that evil, and the restoration we are seeing?

Much love!

They are all talking now, working things out. I'm sure an agreement will be announced soon. Tariffs are like cough drops, makes you cough up an agreement that should have been done long ago, to benefit everyone. Watch for prices to decrease because of new trade agreements.
Trump is creating a mess, I suspect all these issues to backfire on him.
It is already backfiring on Elon Musk.
By the looks of it, he has had his longest time as a Trump adviser.

Cracks are starting to appear within the administration.
Some will be without a job, as it happened during the previous Trump administration.

It only is a matter of time and some will see the light and walk away from the mess.
And others get fired.
It's the "Trump System".

It's impossible to find an answer, all google returns is the explosion of data from the last 2 months. But prices here of typical American products like coca cola, ice cream are not more expensive than comparable non American products. For instance, today I ordered a cheese burger at MacDonald and paid euro 1.90, what do you pay?
Is that Coca Cola bottled in the USA ? Ice cream imported all the way from the USA ?

Let us compare a something besides food . A made in the USA Case pocket knife , like I have owned matter of fact .

If my math is right the Netherlands price would translate to @ $56 US dollars . Looks like @ 20% increase .
EU tariff on USA goods is said to 39% on the chart from DJT .

USA price I found was anywhere from $33 to $41 .

A method to the perceived madness ? Time will tell .

Elon knew what was possible as far as a backlash is concerned . Eyes wide open .
Cracks are starting to appear within the administration.
CNN and Politico are touting this , imagine that . hmmx1:

Now there's the good question!! We've been the worlds fatted calf long enough!

Much love!
We mere wee things truly have no idea what has long been going on my dear friend .
You think THEY had the advantage . Tis been otherwise my friend .
WHY do you think it is that america often does not suffer as badly as did and do other nations .
WHOSE been set up . WHOSE standard of monetary mighty dollar
has long been the influencer of power . BEEN amercia my friend .
But america has PLAYED THE UNHOLY HARLOT , as have other nations .
THEY have for far too long , as have her churches , USED the NAME OF GOD to promote LIES .
And it aint just america and her churches that have done that either .
We have two daughters at work . UNHOLY and WICKEDNESS are there names .
They go by Carolina and pricilla , OR CATHOLIC AND PROTESANT REALM .
ALL SIT UNDER THE GREAT WHORE NOW and do her bidding and sell her LIE , her well beloved lie
that will merge any and all NOT in the lambs book of life RIGHT UNTO their own we are one DAY of DESTRUCTION .
THIS church age OWES GOD a massive apology mark . SELLLING LIES under guise of a love to this people
and to
the false religoins too . THIS WHORE gonna meet her END on the day of the LORD
as will all who followed
her sorry pile of a lie she called love and cliamed was of GOD .

What does that phrase mean to you?

Does it mean that elected officials must never mention Jesus? Does it mean no Christian should be in government? What does it mean to you?

Much love!
It means being unequally yoked. What does HOLY mean to you my dear brother? It means to be set apart, separate.......ie, not unequally yoked. Being unequally yoked is a mixture, which God hates, and renders the holy unclean. Mixture = unclean.

2Co 6:14-17

Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?

And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.

Forgot to mention......Christians in secular jobs (which includes politics) can take Daniel in Babylon and Joseph in Egypt as examples of Godliness in those worldly spheres. And whatsoever you do, do it as unto the Lord.

I was really hoping you'd be more specific. I'm guessing then that you believe no Christian should be involved in any government or policy making organizations? That any who holds public office, or works for the government, if they should become a Christian, that they should quit and find other employment?

Does it mean Christians should never vote? That we are to leave our governance solely and entirely in unbeliever's hands?

Am I on the right track here? If not, can you be more clear?

Thank you!

Much love!

When the isralites followed GOD and kept his covenant they were blessed
But when they became corrupted and the leaders fouled the waters and the peoples drank up the mixture
GOD warned and warned by the prophets for her to repent . BUT SHE DID NOT .
What DID GOD DO , he sent a pagan nation against her and crushed her flat .
NOW go to and behold the so called western chrsitain nations of this world .
WHO have sold this people out to a lie , who have made a covenant with the harlot
and who , despite the fact the few have warned , STILL REPENT NOT but get only worse and worse .
The WHORISH daughters Carolina and priscilla , or CATHOLIC and PROTESTANT
have done very very wickedly and have TROD THE NEW COVENTANT Under foot
for what they claim will bring them peace n safety , though its only for power and control .
And they prophesy peace unto this people
they prophesy a lie they call love unto this people and to the false religoins .
VERY HEAVY and HARSH JUDGMENTS are coming unto they who have done such a thing and unto all
who sit under it . IT WONT BE PEACE N SAFETY SISTER , ITS GONNA BE SUDDEN DESTRUCTION . CHURCH AND STATE
is a very wicked thing done only for power and control .

This describes all children of God equally. We do whatever it is God sets us to do as unto Him. Daniel, Joseph, excellent examples! I'm still not seeing the conflict. I think everyone benefits from having leaders that are more inclined to do what is right than what is wrong. And if someone who is a Christian isn't more inclined to doing right, well, Houston, we have a problem!

Much love!

Right, but remember Jesus will come soon, and as soon as He does, all things will fall apart and be chaotic, then the Anti Christ steps in.

If you want or need to renegotiate trade deals you have every right to do that I"m sure....but there is no need to be belligerent about it. Doesn't seem wise to make enemies out of your own allies, especially in times like these. I don't understand all the ins and outs of the tariffs, but I wonder if smaller economies have needed some tariffs in place in order to balance things out to remain reasonably competitive with a much larger economy like the USA. Not out of any kind of petulance or vindictiveness.

And I'm no expert but I have been wondering whether more delicacy might be wise in order not to crash the whole economic system.

Being in the world but not of it, is another way of saying it, I think brother. That doesn't mean to go and be a hermit on a mountaintop, of course we have to interact with this world, while not being unequally yoked with it. Which to me means not being joined/united spiritually with it, at the heart level. We have not received the spirit of the world. We are to maintain our separateness from it. We should be walking to the beat of a different drum, walking in a different kingdom. Just temporary ambassadors of another kingdom here, not belonging to the world.
