America's Closest Allies Are Building a Future Without It

Last week the White House imposed 50% tariffs on most Canadian goods, invoking a 1930 law no president had ever used, and the Toronto Stock Exchange promptly had its best day in a month — and Jay argues the shrug is the story, not the tariff. In this episode, Jay traces that reaction back 2,500 years to a Greek alliance where every city had to choose between building its own warships or sending silver and letting Athens build the fleet, shows why almost all of them chose silver and what it cost them, and follows the same four-stage cycle through Europe's Russian gas trap to the studies now under way in European capitals asking whether their own weapons would work without America's permission. This is a look at what happens to a country that stops knowing how to build its own ships, and how to tell over the next year which allies are actually building and which ones are only announcing.
