   I wonder, too, if the difference isn't so much where the news is coming   
   from but whether or not they are using AI to create headlines or possibly   
   even article content.  Here in the US, there have been some boo-boos lately   
   with news outlets using AI that even got one of them in legal hotwater when   
   the AI accidentally claimed that someone was involved in something they had   
   nothing to do with.

   Yeah, I see that some in other things he does... what if he is making them   
   angry so they do something he actually wants?

   There is a lot of talk about minerals and resources, including water, that   
   you all have more of and that Trump would like more of.  He supposedly said   
   that Canada has "too much water," for example.   
      
   IIRC, that is also why Hitler became obsessed with invading Russia and some   
   of the other countries... Germany needed their coal and oil.
