Nah. It's not that easy. China is a country of civil war. A weakening of the economy can be dangerous for the regime. And Anglo power won't miss them.

The Chinese regime has an agenda to fulfill; they can't afford a major pushback.

This fight is less simple that we might think.

.

But China can subsidize their losses longer though if if comes down to a test of willpower. Trump alienating Europe with Iran and general dikkish behavior isn't going have a united front or alliance to bend China.

I mean, I am embarrassed by Trump, but fighting a tariff war to get better terms for American business and to try to protect American IP is not some deplorable act to go for.

China has made whole multi billion dollar companies off stealing IP from US firms and making it all cheaper in China (Huawei being the biggest example, stealing everything from Cisco)

But spending as much money as we are, on many of the wrong things, while giving out a tax cut, then looking for more money to socialize the farm industry while you fight a tariff war with China is so 'Not' republican is hilarious.

Just some dumbshyt all around and hard to witness.

This is all about containing the rise of China. This is a battle the US cannot win. It is a very historic time to be alive right now. We are witnessing the dawn of a new unipolar world right now where the American Empire will no longer reign supreme. It may me time to learn Mandarin brehs

one helluva time to be alive. Cause no way this shyt doesn't end in war

Start a trade war with an autocratic regime that doesn't have to worry about elections or unrest, brehs.
:mjlol:

DOW down 600 at closing lmao. Tomorrow won't be much better. Remember...republicans got decimated in the midwest during the 2018 midterms. Wiped out in Wisconsin, where Harley Davidson and various other manufacturers and SUPPLIERS are getting hit hard. Or in Iowa where farmers are getting destroyed. China bought a large order of soybeans as a sign of "good faith" a few months ago...and Trump paraded around like he was winning. Now they aren't buying jack shyt.

A lot of these dudes will die on that hill believing Trump will "get a deal" lmao. But...there are more practical white people in those states who are thinking with their wallet. They aren't gonna cosign 4 more years of this. And that's Trump's biggest weakness, because if the midwest goes back blue it's impossible for him to win.
