| | | What I worry about Ralph is that China and Russia and Trump are a serious threat to the western democracies, and China is kicking our ass, they are kicking everyone's ass!
The sane countries of Europe, Japan and South Korea need to work together to form independent defenses devoid of the US, against these threats, and that takes money and leaders with vision.
Money is power, as you know, and so this new alliance of western democracies needs to be prosperous and build a military independent of the US, and they are doing that at light speed, but some are struggling at a bad time, like France and Germany.
For example, the new arctic pack of the Nordic countries and Canada, and the new Japan, Canada agreements, and South Korea as well, are betting big and long term on Canada based on their being stable and smart with abundant resources and green energy and brains.
Japan and South Korea and Taiwan, and Singapore don't do stupid, or sloppy, so they hate Trump. They know he is extorting them, and they have pride.
The US has already lost the trade war to China. Just as China reports a $1,000,000,000,000 trade surplus, the US had a 27% decline.
And the perfect example of how dumb and dangerous Trump is, is his threat today to put big tariffs on Candian potash, that is about the dumbest thing I have ever heard-lol!!
It is common knowledge the US has very little Potash and Canada is a world leader, so while the farmers are going bankrupt, Trump wants to increase the cost of potash, which they have to have, and Canada can sell anywhere.
Last, five eyes have already stopped working with the US, and the same for much of Europe intelligence. |
