Seems like the ducks are falling into a row... the EU - the biggest of them all - was first (at least by verbal agreement), now USAMC. This means the likely part of Asia is next, while China's markets continue to fall. THEN China.
ReplyDeleteChina knows this of course and is about to lose trillions over the next decade. This would be an end to the Xi lifetime presidency (and his likely end in jail for "corruption"). So he'll move hell and earth to avoid that. ..means he'll try to play the north Korea card. The only card trump cares about.but he doesn't care about a Nobel peace price (which would be denied to him anyways) that much. Trump cares about the trillions he can make for America within a decade. So Xi is just wasting time with north Korea. The only way china can get out of this is by attacking either the US currency (but they hold too much of their debt to be able to afford it) or by getting rid of Trump through election meddling, which won't cost them anything except sanctions which they are already experiencing and don't think can get much worse (which they won't, because unlike north Korea, the world needs Chinese goods and cannot effectively sanction. .too many states would not follow because they depend on goods and raw materials from China). So getting rid of Trump it is.
Its been a very long time since the USA used its economic muscles the way Trump has been using them. Canada is tiny compared to the US in terms of population whereas its dependency upon the US markets is almost complete. Trudeau had to bend the knee. I'm sure he's throwing up right now and having to explain himself to his betters in the Davos crowd. Make a deal with Trump that improves Trumps prospects before a big election?
ReplyDeleteYeah agreed. But he had it coming. First pushing the buddy buddy narrative and then the back stab. It'll be interesting to see how the media spins it..joking of course. Cnn will claim it's the worst deal ever and sells out American interest and that Putin is benefiting from it all. Msnbc will of course let Rachel M ignore any substance and just spew nonsense and call him a person who likes to separate families and that the economy isn't great and that he backs a rapist (probably even dropping the word alleged rapist). Oh and it will be the week of Avanati 24/7 pushing the gang rapist and old white men narrative.
DeleteSee how one side divides and calls everyone incredibly outrageous things? If you don't see it still, watch this week
Nafta is going to survive the Trump Presidency as per posted CNN video.
ReplyDeleteHe simply renamed it. Lol
