  • That’s the problem actually, they are NOT fools. They are VERY smart and VERY determined adversaries who are determined to destroy the US economy and everything everybody would want to stand for, in order to maximize their own short term gains. They are making highly calculated moves specifically for that goal of theirs.

    They are straight up adversaries to American people, they need to be treated as adversaries, and you do NOT ever attempt to underestimate your adversaries.



  • And on top of that, when a bully is punching you, you can’t do nothing and expect them to stop punching you more. That will NEVER work for a bully, instead you have to punch them back sufficiently hard in order to immediately stop them from punching you more or do something even worse, if you could stop them at all. So an immediate retaliatory response is in fact absolutely necessary, and a retaliatory tariff is pretty much the only practical option for an immediate response.

    But then again, it’s entirely possible this is exactly what Trump plotted. Damn he really is an adversary to American people and everybody except himself and maybe Putin, so you really have to analyze him accordingly, what a fucked up world we are in now :(









  • The difference is how such behavior of individuals are perceived and reacted by other people. Yes such people exist in the US but in the US social institutions exist where when one acts like this the others will very openly reject and denounce such ways of thinking, and in the US for a long time such social institutions held great societal influences, while in China most people will praise instead.

    But yeah now you see why in the US the Republicans have been so motivated in de-funding and ruining many of the already established social institutions
