Xi got China to #1 world superpower 24 years early!

Without a war.

Congratulations China.

Not a chance. China’s massive xenophobic approach to anyone non-Han Chinese will severely limit their potential.

Point out all the racism in various Western countries, and it pales in comparison to what goes on in China.

Good news, or bad news depending on how self reliant your government is. China is doing exactly what it promised it would do if they were the sole super power. Which is we will not militarily interfere with your nation no matter the situation.

So if your like Thailand, or Brazil, wonderful. You get to keep all your freedom and autonomy and China will happily trade with you.

If your Myanmar or Sudan, well good luck revolutionaries. There's no America to stand in your way of overtaking your government. If your the governments of these nations...

They could drop all tariffs tonight, but the inertia of new trade deals being made to circumvent the US is pretty strong. It will keep strengthening while the US rots on the vine because they’ve been geopolitically exiled for having revealed themselves to be governmentally retarded.

Can we please this time support the Communist and Socialist organizations that did armed protest in order to get those actual results? Can we please please learn from history and not allow the capitalist to continue to control the means of production? Because in another 100 years we'll be in the exact same place with the ruling class trying to destroy the social safetynets that only served as temporary measures.

We need a real systemic change in who deciding how the economy is run and who's interest it is meant to serve.

How long will we keep pretending a bunch of 20-30 year old white dudes in the 1700s had the best idea of how to run things?

I mean, you'd need a fair election to ever happen again for that.

This was his response. Very sane. Very calm. Not at all unhinged.

Yes

Now that USA will spiral down to deep depression, it’s going to be much easier to get the people behind whatever plan comes next.

So, how about you build a new empire, invade neighboring countries, commit war crimes left and right, and start exterminating people who don’t fit your arbitrary criteria. Germany did that and everything worked out perfectly.

Oh, wait…

Well anyway. I’m out of ideas.

Not only that but he's going to act like it's an amazing surprise that came out of nowhere.

Look at Cuba. Now look at the US. Now look at Cuba again.

Okay, now image Cuba but without the public health care, housing, jobs programs, and mass transit.

The rest of the world starts building a new world order and economic system, one that will be a lot less advantageous to the USA than the one they just trashed.

You see, when the US pisses on the rest of the world, the rest of the world gets wet - But when the rest of the world will piss on the US, the US will drown.

So a tariff is like punching the other guy but also punching yourself, only the US is doing that to a lot of people so all the other countries get hit a few times sure but the US is beating itself black and blue.

Death to folks who can’t afford to have their basic needs met.

The United States descends to the level of economic relevance as South Africa and the rest of the world continues as usual.

Trade tariffs can work if they are used as a scalpel, If they are applied very precisely and explicitly they kind of achieve the desired effect. Trump is just wielding them around like a mallet and is repeatedly hitting himself in the groin while everyone stands at a safe distance away and watches with mild amusement.

Nintendo has already delayed preorders...

Both regular and Kinder

It will be used to bail out companies, who struggle to financially survive. The money will go to the higher managements though.
