You forgot to tell everyone that I think America should start kicking puppies on a much more regular basis. Oh, and knock over old ladies in the street, and steal their medication.tech37 wrote: ↑Tue Aug 06, 2019 6:28 am So basically what a fan is saying is, the theft of our IP and innovations is okie dokie by him, or dead Americans due to Chinese fentanyl flooding our shores is just swell. Just look the other way cause we can't rock the status quo trade boat!...despite China's despicable acts. Not to mention their expanding military exploits. I want to puke...
Normally I wouldn't post like this but thought I'd give you some of your own medicine. That one's for you a fan.
Great.
Sarcasm?
Dude. Did you bother reading the date on that Tom Holland piece? May 2019. You're using THIS as a citation to tell me I'm wrong? Did you even read the piece? Jeezus H, this is the dumbest thing you've ever cited.tech37 wrote: ↑Tue Aug 06, 2019 6:28 am Hate to tell you this Mr. Instant Gratification, but this isn't over yet, even though you conceded the day it started

Thank you a fan. I posted it because the article is an interesting perspective despite the date. And honestly a fan, I couldn't care less if you're right or wrong about anything. I do realize though how important it is for you to opine on all things on a lax board.

What I'm objecting to is that real Americans, real people, are losing their jobs and family businesses because as usual, Trump didn't plan this out. He tweeted, and left everyone else to pick up the pieces. Do we need China to trade with? No. We don't. But the lack of preparedness and lack of US allies helping to apply pressure and reduce China's options is causing wholly unnecessary damage.
Fine. What seems to be lost on you and others is that China is finally being stood up to. That is the bottom line beneath the customary Trump bashing and second guessing by armchair economists and philosophers.
Allies? You mean the feckless allies who have little economic power regarding standing up to China to begin with? Speaking of allies...
I view them just like I view moderate voters here in US. They like what the Trump Admin is doing but would never admit it. IMHO.
