    Tarrifs

    So, in other words, other countries simply don’t want to lose their market share in a wealthy country like the U.S., even while they benefit from a trade deficit in their favor. Who else is going to buy their products at these kinds of prices? The U.S. has the luxury of choice—they don’t. The...

    Tarrifs

    Booing the American anthem in Canada to protest U.S. tariffs is about as effective as banning Russian vodka in the U.S. last year to show support for Ukraine. The result is the same—symbolic gestures that may boost local patriotism. The question is: is this really the essence of true patriotism?

    Tarrifs

    I wonder—if only U.S. importers are the ones paying the tariffs, then why are over 70 countries lining up to negotiate? If nothing has changed for them financially, shouldn't they just relax and watch as the U.S. raises prices internally?

    Tarrifs

    Your point is well taken. Everyone—including the markets—is understandably concerned that tariffs may lead to higher living costs, at least in the short term. However, as one chess grandmaster once said, "the threat is more powerful than its execution." Tariffs are increasingly viewed as a...

    Tarrifs

    I completely respect your point of view. That said, doing nothing—like many past administrations—has led to trillions wasted on ineffective programs, unchecked illegal immigration, and silence as our debt spirals. On top of that, we've allowed other countries to rip us off economically for...

    Tarrifs

    The only approach that seems to work with hardline regimes like commies is a firm, direct one—what some might call a “shotgun approach.” Trust me, I know from experience. A coalition might be ideal in theory, but who would it include? Countries that have taken advantage of our economy for the...

    The mounted figures are British Indian Army camel corps from a Rajput or Sikh regiment.

    Toy Soldier Identification

    The soldiers on foot are Zouaves. French Zouaves, particularly in earlier periods (Crimean War or early Franco-Prussian War), did sometimes wear light tan or yellowish trousers, especially in warmer climates like Algeria or during colonial deployments. These were often linen or cotton for...

    Just a quick reminder for the hypocrites — here’s what Pelosi said about tariffs back in 1996!

    You really should show respect for people who hold different opinions than yours — after all, they represent half the country.

    Tarrifs

    I wonder why some people never complained about prices over the last four years, and now — suddenly, in the past three months — it feels like we’re at the end of the world. Don’t borrow trouble. People really do have short memories: during COVID, China refused to send us masks and medical...

    If tariffs are so bad, why have other countries been enjoying using them against the U.S. for over 50 years?". Charity starts at home.

    Nazi Stand Display id

    Has anyone seen this stand before? It strongly resembles King & Country (K&C) style, but I’m not certain. Any help with identifying it would be greatly appreciated. The dimensions are approximately 13" x 10" x 3". Thank you in advance!

    This kind of uniform were used for 127th Baluch Light Infantry or Frontier Force Rifles (e.g., 55th Coke's Rifles, 57th Wilde's Rifles)

    Peking Gate figures

    I believe this is 1st Sikh Regiment in their khaki uniform for BR. The 7th Regiment would have worn a red uniform.

    I need help identifying these two early matte K&C figures. I’ve never seen any others before. They measure 2-1/4" tall, and the bases are marked HF4 and HF5. Additionally, they have 'King and Country' inscribed in script, though part of the marking is covered with white paint. Any insights...
