-“Kyle is a hell of a football coach, and you have to understand where he brought Utah from all the way. They’re physical, they’re sound, and they’re well coached.

Four years ago today, Russia’s president Vladimir Putin launched a “special military operation” involving dozens of missile strikes on Ukrainian cities before dawn. Putin planned for his troops to seize Ukraine’s electric, heating, and financial systems so the people would have to do as he wished.

But the balance of payments includes all financial transactions, not just trade in goods. The U.S. was also at a transition point in its trade balance, shifting from years of surpluses to the beginning of deficits in the early 1970s. Even after a year of Trump’s tariffs, the U.S. trade deficit is completely normal.
