Global Confrontation Ala Trump




 We are definately living in interesting times, but one planned and orchestrated by Trump.  Flattery time is over.

It is almost obvious now that the sole target of the Tariff  WAR was China and their outright non compliace with all past promises.  The USA can pack up and go home, but it should also be obvious that going home actually means shifting theiir buying power to the rest of the world who all now understand it and will actually welcome it and possibly even honor it.

already the damage to China is huge and full recovery is now unlikely.  In fact, they have been unable to make any form of proper response at all and suffer paralysis.

For everyone else, the dust will settle quickly into extensive negotiations over the meaning of fair trade.  after all, why are we subsidizing soybean farmers to sell soybeans to China?  My point is that fair trade is a two way street and only unsolvable for global oil shipment which is geography driven and not economy driven.

Fair trade will have to address that separation, unless you think Canada should ship all its oil to China instead of the USA gulf refineries.

Trump problem is that it has to all be done inside the next four years.  That is why he launched by declaring a trade WAR with the whole globe.  This gets everyone hopping to the table  now and launches negotiations with everyone.  no one gets to wait out the clock.  And really it is the only way.

Understand that a whole bunch of things have to change. He has already promised to bullboze Gaza out of existence.  

However the big event is the full and final submission of China which means the elimination of the CCP and disclosure of their crimes.  I would like to see the Chinese Empire properly dismembered with a full border commission and a full free trade regime established internally.  May as well get that while you can.  It was never properly resolved in Canada.  And they are working on it in europe.  just saying.


.I do not know the full extent of Trumps thinking but it will mostly be better if only if obvious nonsense is now ended.  China needed its bluff called and history shows us that fast and bfurious is best for all.

It is just that i never expected it to actually happen
