Cool. Now Germany, the UK, and France can fight Russia and China.
Bob Ireland incisively posted earlier: Most countries are
wisely choosing to renegotiate with the US over tariffs.
So why is the market going super nova?
The key is CHINA! ! ! China maintains high tariffs against us PLUS they do currency manipulation, devaluing the yuan against the dollar. China brags about its status as a world power... but China depends heavily on plundering our country. During the Clinton Admin our deficit was a little less than $50 billion a year. Now it is about $1/2 trillion a year.
Add to that the theft of intellectual property, capturing U.S. patents, pirating U.S. business secrets; some estimate that our current trade deficit is probably about $1 trillion a year.
They have the world’s largest navy; they have perhaps 1/4 - 1/2 million troops. Those troops have to be fed and supplied. Those ships need fuel, parts and regular maintenance. Ammunition and rockets and missiles are regular ongoing expenses.
China is still heavily dependent on collecting dollars to maintain its world power status. They are putting undue pressure on all their ‘allies’ in this country to make Trump look like he is in a losing position. China raised its tariffs and fees on U.S. property. It is all out: defeat Trump’s tariffs! China has undue influence on the U.S. Senate - who has just tried to pass a bill to override Trump’s tariff agenda. They have avenues to attempt at least some stock market manipulation.
It is all out for China for one simple reason: THEY MUST PLUNDER THE U.S. ECONOMY in order to maintain their elevated world status. On the present path China would become the ONLY world power and the U.S. would be economically reduced to Guatemala, etc. - a banana republic.
Will President Trump blink, falter?
China is taking that gamble.
Stand fast, Don.
And just exactly what do you think Putin should have said? Please explain.
A Zeeper explanation should be enlightening.
They are North Koreans....
Oil for soldiers. Russia and China would probably both be happy with that.
Who cares? Both sides are lying about who is participating.
What Beijing should do is bring in thousands of Chinese troops to back the Russians in Ukraine.
Zellensky is in no position to order China about.
China will tell Zellensky the thief where he gets off.

The Cuban government has exposed a Russian trafficking operation used to lure Cubans into the war against Ukraine, Cuban authorities announced Monday.
