>In an extraordinary speech the EU Commission president said he would push for Ohio and Texas to split from the rest of America if the Republican president does not change his tune and become more supportive of the EU.
If so we need to drone strike that man immediately. That’s a clear threat to the Union by a hostile foreign power.
“...I think their rapefugee invasion is worse...”
I agree, it’s all one big hot mess over there.
“...How’s our supply of iron ore?...”
I found this.
Australia seems to be the Big Boy on the block for Iron Ore.

The Paris climate accord is a bad deal for America in its current form. We must understand that staying in the accord is not equivalent to protecting the environment. As a nation, we could no longer accept the restrictions imposed on the United States while other countries are allowed to continue to pollute the world.”
Mr. Goncalves added, “The American iron and steel industry is the most environmentally compliant among the major industrial nations. We exclusively use iron ore pellets in our blast furnaces, while China relies on highly polluting sinter feed iron ore fines from Australia and Brazil to over produce steel, flood the steel markets and weaken the U.S. steel industry.
We believe that being pro-environment, pro-industry and pro-business are not contradictory goals.”
What sissy girlymen
If we don’t pay their inflated price for steel and make our own they need to adjust their manufacturing and exporting businesses. Be creative
About China, they have been buying up our scrap metal for years, making new steel from it, and selling it back to us at a huge profit for them.
Their minimum wage is no where close to ours.
In some cases it is a couple of bowls of rice a day for youngsters in forced labor jobs.
The EU is the revived Roman Empire. Defund and distance from this beast of the field. Foreign entanglements must go.
Nothing has been implemented but it is hitting the EU hard. Uh huh. Imagine the effect of actually doing something. The BS is strong with this one.
No more coal, manufacturing moving off shore and a myriad of other actions he took to destroy our economy and jobs, including even importing workers (illegal alien criminal insurgent invading colonists) and supporting them and their families with billions of $s of subsidies.
Many thanks.
Yep, them Ohio separatists sure is a hotheaded bunch.
Respond by doing what?
Your economy is already in the crapper...
We should explore ANWAR Immediatelty. I bet there’s all kinds of good stuff in the dirt there.
Yep, them Ohio separatists sure is a hotheaded bunch.

Yeah good luck with that Eurowienies
LOL! I missed that one. Texas?
What is wrong with that? I/we are ready to go, #texit is alive and well. Marched it to the front at the convention this year in Dallas and had several of the key issues on the Republican planks.
Texas is sick and tired of only getting a third of what it sends into the Federal coffers back into Texas coffers. Seeing the rest of it go to the postage stamp liberal hell holes to spend on their socialized existence.
Texas can survive on our own. We do not NEED the rest of the 49 to live. We have proven that. We won our independence without money or troops from the American Government.
Good question and the other question where are the smelters.
I believe there are two left in Texas.

Sorry for double-ping on a few of you.
