China:
The new Japan of the (late?) 1930’s..?
Almost an exact historical mirror.
There were some coherent folks working for Reagan that noted how overextended the Soviets were and speculated that they could be made to spend themselves out of existence.
It worked.
I think all warfare is ultimately economic. Our US Civil War was, despite the caca were fed in school. The Mercantilist North was taxing the stuff they were buying from the South and taxing it again when the sold it back to them as finished products.
The South did like the deal and tried to leave, and the North forced them back on the plan at the point of a gun.
That’s not how it is taught, but that’s what happened.
And China’s bomb has already gone off. There is more truth in the Onion than there is in a Chinese corporations financial statements.
Our President has them on the run. My only fear is that if he pushes to hard the Chinese may resort to land war. So far it seems like he knows what he’s doing.
Pray for the health and safety of our great President, Donald Trump. These are high stakes.
“Does Cramer get anything right?”
He is right 50% of the time.
F/Jim Cramer...
Cramer’s right. Whatever you think about tariffs, there will be turbulence — some “air pockets,” so to speak, early on.
It would seem not; especially those who let the anti-Trump-driven MSM do their thinking.
Ooops. It would seem so...!
I’m willing to concede that there were investigations going on that I wasn’t aware of. But if part of the plan was for Sessions to recuse himself and to put the nation through the unnecessary hell we’ve endured and that still continues, that’s one heck of a plan. Sessions is solely responsible for Mueller and for the coup plotters escaping justice for two years. Barr might be able to clean up Sessions’ mess, we’ll see.
Very thought provoking.
Invest in other Asian Tigers. BIG profits to be had.

Stock market has already erased half of Monday’s losses.
Actually Cramer is coming out on the side of tariffs.
The selloff over $50B in tariffs was WAY OVER DONE.
The local ABC affiliate new breaks yesterday were over the top. The dude was overly and weirdly excited reporting the PLUNGING stock market DUE TO TRUMP’S TARIFFS. I thought he was orgasming.
As with soybeans, they will buy from someone else, who then will buy from us to replenish their own coffers - or sell to the Chinese at a hefty markup.
Indeed. Sessions' actions were against all odds; Trump almost certainly was deeply shocked, particularly since it was practically impossible to replace him.
It is easy to conclude no one acts in such outrageous manner and against all expectations unless they are a stealth operative subject to an undisclosed agenda. Perhaps, as you say, after Barr's work is finished a credible author will give us a better view.
Isn’t there a very simple explanation for Sessions “outrageous” behavior? Behavior that put Trump and the country in dire jeopardy? A very simple explanation that doesn’t include Sessions’ use of double secret 4D chess that Trump was necessarily kept completely in the dark about?
