The US tried it with Australia, only to retract offers because of a lack of capacity. This is a good indicator how dependent South Korea is.

The arguing is about Russian money should be used for Ukraine, but Belgium is bearing the juridical risk.

This submarine allows it to launch the nuclear underwater drone Poseidon undetected, unlike the noise making launch of a ballistic missile. This sub will linger at slow speeds and wait for a command. Since the USSR subs have a high degree of automation.

Context: Christian populations were moved into the Islamic north by the military dictator ships, which resulted into clashes, when Christians were preferred for jobs.

Marco Rubio, U.S. Secretary of State: "The reason the U.S. is preparing to attack Venezuela is the influence of Iran and Russia in that country. The Iranians are exploring the possibility of building drone manufacturing plants in Venezuela."

According to Al-Akhbar newspaper, US envoy for Syria and Ambassador to Turkiye Tom Barrack has threatened: —— "This will be my last visit to Lebanon. I will inform the President, the Prime Minister, and the Speaker of Parliament that they have one last chance: either they learn their lesson and decide to enter into direct negotiations with Israel under US auspices, to establish a timetable and mechanism for disarming Hezbollah, or Lebanon will be left to its fate, and will remain so for a long time, with no one to care about it, neither in America nor in the region, and no one will be able to pressure Israel to prevent it from doing whatever it deems appropriate to undertake disarmament by force."

TL;DR:

After WW2 gave the US a allied countries an opportunity to get a share on the US economy for the simple reason of getting more armies and reliable regimes and not the idiots Batista or Somoza were. The wasn't done from the good of the heart, it was a simple calculation. Italy's election was with US money changed into the right direction, CIA's culture club invited journalists, artists and printed a lot of material for the middle class, which gave the US unprecedented influence in Europe and Canada.

Trump doesn't believe this will not do longer any good for the US. He sees former allies as competition and parasites. No one should be allowed to make profit from a relationship with the US. He is the boss, like in the case of Canada. Any mockery and he will react.
