Hard power coerces or pays. Economic power uses markets and dependency. Soft power attracts. Smart power combines instruments. Sharp power manipulates information spaces. Collaborative power works through networks.
Theses days, the US is neither soft, smart, or collaborative.

Hey @grok, I ranked the most powerful countries. Is my ranking accurate, or would you change anything?

Stephen Harper on Alberta independence:
"I spent a good part of my early political career involved in the debate over Quebec independence. That was driven by a large minority of the population who genuinely want a separate country, regardless of the cost. I do not believe the downsides of that experience are fully understood in Alberta.
"Over two generations of Quebec politics were spent debating the goal of the separatists. Families were divided, and friends were lost. The more serious the challenge became, the worse the economic impact became. In the process, Montreal’s two-centuries’ long position as the commercial centre of Canada was permanently lost to Toronto."

Everyone says NHL players are the toughest but in honor of Caleb Williams grade 1 hamstring strain, here is Kyle Palmieri crying in pain for the same exact thing.
Just kidding, he tore his ACL, stole the puck and got an assist on the same play.

Serious question for Ottawa Conservatives: why do you seem totally incapable of Premier Moe’s moral clarity, and defence of Canadian interests👇?
In the face of a bizarre, empty threat by the President to move US potash sources from Canada to Belorusian “blood potash,” why was your first instinct to talk about the completely irrelevant industrial carbon tax???
It’s frankly embarrassing.
Are you that focussed on the 5% of Canadians who have a high regard for Trump?
For goodness sake, why does it seem so difficult for you to call out Trump’s threats and attacks on our country and economy???

More than 40 countries - Canada and its allies - have sanctions against Belarus for supporting war criminal Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.
Buying blood potash from Belarus is supporting Russian aggression.
It’s wrong and it doesn’t make sense.
All of that potash has to be ussia, then across the ocean, then across the US to mid-western farmers.
Does anyone believe Belarusian blood potash shipped through Russia is going to be more affordable, more sustainable or more ethical than potash shipped from Saskatchewan - right here in North America?

🇬🇱 🇩🇰 🇺🇸 Was this the smartest con in Arctic history?
The Danes and Greenlanders know perfectly well that the Trump regime is staffed by high school dropouts and people who move their lips when they read, and they know that nobody in this failed administration has the faintest ent exists.
So Copenhagen takes the old treaty out of the drawer, blows off the dust, changes the date to 2026 and adds a clause banning China and Russia, neither of whom was ever going to be invited anyway. Trump, who sincerely believes he is the sharpest mind in a movement where that is not a demanding title, promptly launches himself into orbit with a triumph he imagines will win him the midterms.
He demanded an island, was sold his own lease back with a fresh cover page, and could not be more thrilled.

People keep saying Trump term II is the most corrupt administration ever, so I built a model to find out if it was true.
I took the UN's definition of corruption, turned it into eight criteria and 100 points, and scored the leaders history remembers for looting their countries: , Abacha, Obiang, Putin.
Then I put every president since Eisenhower on the same scale, both parties, with every exoneration counted right alongside the convictions.
Nixon scored 41 and no other American President scored over a 25.
Trump's second term scored a 91, which ties him with Suharto and Mobutu and puts him above Marcos and Abacha.
So he is not only the most corrupt president in American history. At this pace he finishes his term level with the most corrupt rulers of the last hundred years.
PSA: don't come in my comments arguing about the results if you haven't read the full article, because ignorance is a choice.
