Nippon Steel’s $14.9bn acquisition of US Steel closed on Wednesday,
confirming an unusual degree of power for the Trump administration after the Japanese company’s 18-month struggle to close the purchase.
Under the deal terms, Nippon bought 100% of US Steel shares at $55 a share, as it first laid out in its December 2023 offer for the well-known and struggling steelmaker.

As @pluralistic writes here, “the American right is a brittle coalition:”
https://pluralistic.net/2024/07/14/fracture-lines/
We imagine the right as monolithic at our peril. Reply guys love, love, love to lecture me about how These People are all the same. Here’s the thing: they are not, and imagining they are is self-defeating. The right has been •incredibly• effective at finding fracture points on the left and jamming a crowbar into them. It’s time we did the same.

Het feit dat Iran een Israëlisch ziekenhuis heeft aangevallen beschouwt defensieminister Katz als bewijs dat ‘Iran er op uit is om Israël te vernietigen’.
Zou hij beseffen dat hij daarmee erkent dat Israël er op uit is om Gaza te vernietigen?
M.a.w. dat hij zelf de Hitler is voor Gaza? Een vrijbrief voor Hamas om met Katz af te rekenen?

Oren Cass has a knack for reverse engineering a reasoned explanation for Trump’s latest policy, only to fall out of sync when it turns out Trump doesn’t work that way.
Here he is last week lamenting how “commentators stuck in the old world seem confused” in worrying about the US being dragged into a war with Iran. Instead, he explains confidently, Israel will “handle its own business”, while an “America First” US will “step back from conflicts in the Middle East”.
@… I find it fascinating that different people in your replies state that each one is more “natural” than the other. Objectively, of course. Who would question otherwise?
