I’ve got an idea. Russia can sell all their soybeans to China, and then they can use the money to buy soybeans from us.
What does China do with all of those soybeans? Is soybean the preferred alternative to rice?
They won’t need as many beans this year. Pig Ebola has wiped out 40% of their hogs already and is still rampant and spreading. They have a serious protein problem. Add to that the Army Cutworms that are spreading like wildfire wiping out grain crops. China has some serious problems ahead. A billion 3 hangry Chinamen, currency devalued so imports are expensive, HK a powder keg, tariffs killing their job market, a hugungous credit bubble because of all the “Shovel Ready” ghost cities and inefficient manufacturing they have subsidized and paid for, etc.
Chinese CCP may not be long for this world. They are sitting on a time bomb and the count down is approaching 00:00.
Love this guy.
The four step process:
1. USA withdraws from the Postal Union...so cutting China off from low cost subsidized postal rates from China to USA
2. China designated as a currency manipulator
3. The Soy bean squeeze
Waiting for step 4: Apply EO of December 2017 to Chicom fantanyl suppliers.
So, in other words, Trump has Xi by the small beans.
China sees it’s IMBALANCE in trade with the US as one major component of one day conquering/occupying the US. Taking one half Trillion of American wealth out each year is more valuable to the Central Committee in their 100 year plan than 100 divisions of troops.
Trump knows that and really, really doesn’t give a damn what the Chicoms do. He’s moving to trade balance no matter what.
Achieving BALANCE with the Chicoms therefore is, inversely, a military necessity for the US. In doing so, like carpet bombing, Trump weakens China economically and militarily.
Imagine that. One Communist country unable to feed its own people is unable to provide enough food to help another Communist country feed it’s people.
Yeah, that’s what happens when your governmental philosophy is all cart, no horses.
The world is facing a reality. NOBODY approaches the productivity per acre and quality product of a Kansas/Iowa/Nebraska etc farmer.
Nobody
This helps expose the media fantasy that US farmers will go broke if China doesn’t buy our soy beans. There are only so many soy beans grown each year. If China doesn’t buy them from us, they will buy them from somewhere else. This simply RAISES the price of soy beans, it doesn’t create a surplus in the US.
Jeez, I wonder where they might get some soybeans to fill the gap? I guess they’re willing to starve in order to subsidize selling us more crap. Have at it China. We rebuild our manufacturing base and we have the food.
We squeezed Japan like this in the late 30s and they retaliated with WWII. It did not end well for the Togo regime. The same is happening now with China. It may not end well for them either.
Atlas Shrugged ping. It would be soybeans, wouldn’t it? Ma Chalmers may have the last laugh on us yet.
No tofu for you!
