 I'm 7 minutes in, and he's already flipped the tariffs.

90% tariff is what Vietnam charges the US not the other way around. He also stated the US trade deficit with Vietnam is indicative of trade working.

He then turns around and correctly states how the US is charging half, which is different than the previous paragraph I wrote. He calls it A tier crazy, I call it genius, and it worked cause 50 nations are up to renegotiate. 

As for the smaller tariffs. He lied and said the US has a trading surplus with them. In truth Trinidad exports more to the US than the other way around. Like everywhere else, the surplus is Trinidad's.

 If Trump charged more than each nation everyone would have a cow, but it's okay for the US to get eaten alive while in debt.

Anyway, the US is getting their trade negotiations. That's a win for the US and it's also a win for the global economy cause everyone including Canada is open for business in a deregulated market.

The US is in debt. That's troublesome for US citizens. If the debt ceiling isn't increased, Americans will have to work for nothing, buy their way out of the US by paying their share of the debt, or just die.

If the US collapses, then Russia will become the world military power. Russia will seize whatever it wants. China, who is 3rd might turn agsinst Russia and join other nations hostile to Russia.

Yes, tariffs are economically destructive and only serve to strengthen austerity. Capitalism does not equal a good economy and what we are seeing now is the death of liberalism trying to equate the two as Capitalism naturally evolves into austerity fascism.

Please be more specific where you get this "naturally evolves" about anything.  Historical examples of what you claim.  Maybe it's worth getting more than arguments from authority from you.  I want to know.

Innuendo Studios did a series on the alt right, last time Pumpkinhead stole the office of President.

The vid you want is called Always A Bigger Fish, and it flips your 'argument from authority' right back at ya 😋

In a nutshell, greedy narcissists don't play well together and will always cannibalize each other.

It's the same thing that keeps happening to this forum.

Some people call the process evolution. 😋

What do you mean flips my argument back at me?  Nothing you said contradicts or really answers me, outside of ...I don't know what you'd call it: some theme of framing.  Besides I wasn't asking you. :)

...Wait, unless this is just revealing YOU AREN'T THE REAL XENA AND FORGOT TO CHANGE YOUR ACCOUNT!

Spatial, you're not listening

 Look how your response is all, i, i, i.

You're really not listening.

Why don't you comment on the data I posted. 

Because your data is in response to arguments I never made and I couldn't care less about.

The US proposed roughly 50% discount retaliatory tariffs on 51 nations, except nations with low tariffs, and not including Canada.

Ok and?

Who is tariffing who more, and who has always tariffed who more ?

I don't give a dann. Check my claims.

Does it mean war if the US starts seeking fair trade ?

Yes.

Trade war: a situation in which countries try to damage each other's trade, typically by the imposition of tariffs or quota restrictions.

The answers to that are simple but, I doubt you're able to backtrack toward common sense.

You're not listening.

@Tony, the Ruzzians are a failed state. Only Moscow and St Petersburg are somewhat healthy and safe. Somewhat.

The rest of the country is full of dirt poor addicts who live year round in crumbling Soviet era housing and summer cottages without adequate heat or plumbing.

Watch Vasya in the Hay if you want proof.

The Ukraine War made everything even worse, between the sanctions, losing most of their war machines, and the constant bombardment of their oil infrastructure. A million of their men have been killed or hopelessly maimed. Over a million more fled the country. And the ones who did were the best and brightest and most compassionate.

I'm pretty sure China is #2, now.

Ruzzia will take 5 to 10 years to recover from Pooptin 's stupidity.

And wth are you saying about the US?

They're about to collapse because Musk and his DOGE bags just robbed the treasury and tried to hold most of their allies hostage and force them to pay for crap they didn't even borrow. China, the EU and Canada all have strong economies. I'm not happy about working with China. That takes the "enemy of my enemy" adage a bit too far, imo. But I'm happy to work with Japan, Mexico and Europe.

Not sure if it's just clickbait. I hope not. But 30 out of 33 NATO countries, minus the US, Hungary, and Czechia are pledging to stand with Ukraine against Pooptin for as long as they can, and they will unite against Pumpkinhead 's trade war. So I hope Carney will be our next PM. It will be a close race.

If Peter Pecker gets in he will fuck everything and bend over and spread em wide for the disgusting Cheeto invasion. Just ew.

The thought makes me very sad because I like Americans and don't want to be forced to sabotage their military occupation if their management is stupid enough to invade us. That sh!t will get ugly. The thought of Southwest Ontario looking like the Donbas makes me sick to my stomach. But I'll do what I have to do until I die.

Never 51, man.

 Lolwut? I said the Innuendo Studios vid flips your argument around.

It's on you to find it, tho. I'm having trouble with this device. 

And yeah, I'm Xena. Ask a question if you want.

We were going to meet at Tim Horton's near the Frederick Mall. 😋

Here are my claims:

What do I actually think of the trade war? First and foremost I think it's a trade war. You seemingly didn't agree, but it is, according to the fucking dictionary. So this is my appeal to the Oxford dictionary. Not very controversial.

My second claim is that Trump is acting to further America's interests at the economic cost of other countries. Not a very controversial take now is it, given that his slogan is America first?

Then I made the claim that Trump wants to Annex Canada by (economic) force. Also not a controversial statement, is it, when he himself said it.

I was going to make the claim that you're working against your interests. However, I realise I was wrong. I didn't think you'd be so.... traitorous as to have no patriotism in you. You'd be fine with your own country being annexed through economic coercion. Your words, not mine. I gracefully admit I was wrong, but only because I thought you wouldn't adopt such crazy views over admitting your idol is screwing you over.

Then I claimed that Trump is harming the Canadian economy. Also not a controversial take given that Trump declared a trade war on Canada
