        Yes, and I’m sure you know this, but it generally hurts both countries equally or close to it, and therefore that is a dumb as fuck way to punish countries for not supporting your modern Monroe Doctrine

    If one of you mention anything negative about us taking Greenland, I will tax my population more and severely disrupt their ability to purchase goods they need while you will be forced to find new partners. It will be very inconvenient for you. You will probably lose any trust you have in us and might not risk trading with us for a very long time.

    Checkmate radical leftists. This is the art of the deal.

    Oh… also. Please keep buying bonds and don’t you dare trade with China.

    Shortly, any country without Trump tariffs would be considered with suspicion.

      This is also why all the fucking electronics companies in the EU only going through american distributers and having their own damn webshops from and EU company ship from the US is going to cripple one of or most important industries when shit hits the fan. Looking at you STM, Nordic, and uBlox!

      We have 3 large distributers in Europe: UK, Poland, and international (UK and Belgium) and yet only a tiny tiny subset of older parts are sold from there while the american distributors are packed full.

      It’s the other way around, he is putting tariffs on American imports, so it will be harder for us to sell to USA.

        I’m not interested in doing business with America until they can get their shit together.

        Honestly, I’ve been in favor of a full embargo since this whole ‘trade-war’ bullshit kicked off. Strengthen trade with other nations while showing America they don’t control the global economy.

          Fine, I personally have a near total boycott on American goods and services myself, doesn’t change the fact that tariffs are not about us buying stuff from USA.

    Why is news site reporting what the rapist terrorist said? Who gives a flying fuck what threats a felon gives?

    Kim Jong Un wants you not to piss in his coffee. You laugh, you don’t give it a fucking headline.

    This motherfucker has lost his fucking mind. He is so desperate to distract from the Epstein files that he is trying to start WW3.

      I hope he does it. The people need to feel some pain to motivate us to put a stop to this madness, unfortunately.

        Sadly MAGAs are living in a completely separate reality from the rest of the world. Unreachable with facts and figures.

          It’s not MAGA who I’m hoping will act. A massive coalition of leftists, run of the mill liberals or even non-maga conservatives needs to form and remove Trump from power.

            I’m thinking about what is going to happen to the nation if/when trump is ousted. Because you have something like 77 million people who are living in alternative fact land. And you will have to deal with them.

              I don’t think that’s totally accurate. A lot of those are just not paying attention and annoyed with the economy, so they just punish whoever is in power. That said there are tens of millions who are really that deluded and hateful and I don’t know what to do with them. Let me them form their own little autonomous territories maybe, I’m not sure.

                I think a straight up 2nd American Civil War is the only real way to fix America at this point. The establishment parties are too corrupt to save my people, and there are many terrible people who cannot be rehabilitated by anything less than a bullet.
