Why is Biden flaunting Jeeps lately? Because globalism.

So Chrysler (FCA), who makes Jeeps and Ram trucks, is 1 of only 3 major automotive manufacturers in the US, along with GM and Ford. FCA was established in 2014 after Chrysler merged with Italian-owned Fiat.
2) Earlier this year it was announced that FCA would be merging with Peugeot to form a new group called Stellantis. Mitt Romney has been denying hard that FCA will move manufacturing to China. Peugeot's involvement suggests he's lying.
3) Peugeot (PSA) is a side quest of its own, including the family history and involvement of Citroën, but I'll try to stay focused on the Jeeps. So PSA acquires Citroën in 1976 and in 1979 they pick up the failing Chrysler Europe company.

In 2012, another American manufacturer
4) steps into the picture. GM announces that they will purchase 7% of PSA with the goal of saving about $2billion/year. Less than 2 years later, GM sells that 7% to a private investment company out of India called Padmapriya Automobile Investment Group, which appears to be an arm
5) of Padmapriya Investment Services, which is basically India's Rosemont Seneca only these guys are actually REALLY good at what they do. Let's put a pin in India for now.

So a bit later in 2017, the roles reverse and PSA decides it wants to buy a piece of GM, including their
6) German manufacturer, Opel, and their British manufacturer, Vauxhall Motors. When the rep from PSA (Carlos Tavares who is listed as CEO of Stellantis and is also a fun side quest) went to check out the new digs, he met with none other than Angela Merkle and Theresa May.
7) This may seem abnormal until we look back at what happened in 2014, shortly after GM got involved with PSA the first time. What happened was, PSA was supposedly facing financial hardships. So who stepped in to help? Dongfeng Motor Group and the French government. Dongfeng
8) Motor Group is entirely owned by the Chinese government and is headquartered in.... Wuhan.

So we have 2 of 3 US automotive manufacturers involved with PSA who has direct ties to the French and Chinese governments, a new CEO hanging out with German and British officials, and
9) ties to corrupt billionaires in India. But wait, there's more! One of the subsidiaries listed on the Wikipedia for Stellantis is... GEFCO S.A. which is now owned by Russian Railways aka the Russian Federation.
