Or just… not be a trading partner.
In the words of Stephen Colbert & Jon Stewart…
Go f&@k yourself!!
“A message to partners: don’t do as we do or we will destroy you”
Global-scale abusive relationship mentality. That’s what you get when people like Andrew Tate, Jordan Peterson and Joe Rogan become the new idols of men.
Nope, you are going to destroy yourselves. You need us, we don’t need you. And a level playing field is just that, both sides get a fair share. Do you understand how that works?
Can you imagine if a 9/11 type situation were to happen today, boy there would be a lot of hard decisions to make.
We’re gonna destroy you, utterly.
Is that a fucking threat ?
Imagine the crying in the USA if we, Canada, stopped sending softwood lumber, crude, steel, and aluminum, electricity, potash.
Forget about rebuilding after a hurricane or tornado. Good luck driving a car or fueling a war machine. Lots of hungry people with reduced yields due to less potash.
I’m Pole. Almost all out historical tragedies, including disappearing from maps a few times, can be explained by politicians saying and doing idiotic things to get a cheep local points instead of worrying about global politics.
This moron said something to get applaud of morons in his loccal piggery. He either think world will not notice, or he don’t care becouse his personal gains are more important than consequences to the entire country.
He shouldn’t be trusted. With anything.
Let me get this straight:
- You don’t want a trade war, which your country started
- You want access to our markets to flood our shelves with your subsidized and unregulated products
- If we don’t let you in, you’ll continue to wage economic war on us
English was not the only thing they learned from the British. But just like Imperial units, the 21st century isn’t as forgiving on being this much of a simpleton.
Which state is he from?
Fuck you and we won’t see you tomorrow.
Yeah okay, but more importantly, does anyone else feel like there’s something weird about his face? Like, as if his skin is rubber and that’s why he can’t make real looking facial expressions?
The biggest problem here that these idiots don’t understand is that our economy is as big as it is because the world lets us have it. It’s an unwritten agreement that they use the dollar for trade, and we police the world, give aid and keep markets stable. It won’t take much for the world to turn their backs on us and send us crashing, and honestly I’m surprised they haven’t already done that.
The world has been salivating for the USA drop the ball this bad. The only reason the world hasn’t fully turned their backs is that the USA is dangerous and armed, but Russia and China couldn’t be happier with this stupid presidential cycle.
They really believe they are the center of the world
When you’ve spent your entire life immersed in American Exceptionalism, acknowledging that other countries have valid interests can be a difficult concept to grasp.
Which right now they are. All the tech for the west comes from America, they have by far the largest market in the world and everyone wants access to it.
All the tech for the west comes from Taiwan foundaries, Chinese and South Korean factories, South Indian offshore software service consultancies and made with Japanese components fabricated from Chinese rare earth elements from American companies with a surprising number of subsidiary headquarters in Ireland.
The US hasn’t been the biggest market for a decade, and everybody wants out.
Level playing field? Sure why not?
Favor American businesses over health or local businesses? Hahahaha no
Threats? Nevermind. Let’s throw that out the window. Fuck you
Even as an American, why do these dumbasses think threats will make people more likely to be favorable? At some point, people are going to just be like “all right fam good luck with that”
They are playing to the masses, not the world. They all want a golden ticket in the Trump empire. Getting in line to be stepped on is certainly a mood, but it’s what y’all are into these days?!
Let me know when that happens. The west is so addicted to America it’s pathetic might as well be one country.
Well, “the west” is a contiguous land mass which makes trading much easier than going across the ocean, so there’s that…
I wouldn’t go so far as to call it an addiction.
