Nuke-you-lure or Nuke-lee-er?
I understand that I’ll face higher prices when I go into GreatWalmart or ChinaFreight in the near future (if I go at all) but it won’t affect my budget drastically. It will affect China.
What’s Schadenfreude in Chinese.....just askn for a friend.

In 1941 FDR put an embargo on oil to Japan in response to atrocities the Japanese soldiers committed in China.
Oil was the one indispensable commodity, and weakness, for Japan’s military leaders.
The embargo created an existential dilemma for Japan; either retreat from their decades long imperialistic expansions and give up their quest for pan Asian hegemony, or take out the greatest obstacle in their path, the US Pacific fleet at Pearl Harbor.
We all know the choice they made.
Will China make the same decision?
Trump’s tariffs effectively serve the same purpose as the oil embargo on Japan.
The invasion of Taiwan and the theft of all of its wealth is looking ever more likely as a solution to China’s economic and political woes, and as a backlash to Trump’s policies.
For me, the biggest question is, What will President Trump do?
Are we ready for this?
Does this mean Walmart stuff will cost more than double current price?
