Summary:

· Global dictatorship, and a Trump third term, have become defined and sustained by the “reciprocal” credible threat from “co-operative adversaries” with commensurate skin in the game.

· The USDNI’s “Adversarial Cooperation” keywords and thesis are a metaphor that should be translated literally.

· A global managed Trade and FX regime is the medium of economic transfer between the “adversarially cooperative” symbiotic agents of global dictatorship.

· Tariffs are the catalyst for the process through which the managed terms of trade of the global dictatorship system will find a dynamic equilibrium.

· Technology sustains dictatorship, hence there will be “adversarial co-operation” to command and control it.

· Inflation vitiates against dictatorship, hence there will be “adversarial co-operation” to suppress it.

· According to POTUS, co-operation is a short-term tactical necessity, however, adversaries remain strategic in the long term.

· False narratives, falsely profiting from false prophets, conveniently obscure the “adversarial co-operation” hiding in plain sight.

· China’s “turn” to “respectful co-operation” is the “response” to Trump’s “pledge” of tariffs.

· China’s “turn” is likely to conclude with the “prestige” of a Trump third term.

· Managed Tariff Free Trade with the USA will transfer the cost of supply chain security from the US Taxpayer to trade partners.

· What US trade partners negotiate in reduced tariffs, they will pay for in supply chain security costs.
