Yes the world should unify under the banner of China against the great satan that is the USA.

you are going all Chamberlain.
Jesus wept. |

He wept also that you actually have zero to say.

Starmer can’t get anything right
It’s debatable what we may have in common with China, but with the CCP, we have nothing….except him ofc who would love a social credit system in place, he has shown that. He betrays our allies continually, and tries to give up our own assets on the assumption that if we keep seeding to others and ruining our own interests others might take pity on us. He seems to want to culturally ruin this country, how can he dictate what others should or shouldn’t do…to such an extent that they are considering calling up OAP reservists because nobody younger will do anything for this country now, not the indigenous and not the new arrivals who have no association. |

Oh and the intelligence is limited due to choices made by those in power in the UK
And even the UAE won’t send students because they don’t want their own citizens coming back radicalised ffs |

It's better than living in some naive fantasy world whereby countries of the world outside the EU, Canada and few other western countries are going to unify to ostracise the USA because they came out and threatened tarrifs on several European countries. |

By:
Okay,at least you admit you haven't an iota in having a semblance of an idea in order to put a stop to Trumps carry on and content to just leave him do what he wants.

The problem is not Trump (The likes of him could always happen). The issue is the complete consolidation of power within 1 individual in the most powerful country on the planet. In this case they have given this power to someone who likely has psychiatric issues with old age as well as lifetime sociopath traits.
Its a spectacular failing of the USA |
|
By:
I think the population of the world should join hands together and sing Kumbaya together to stop him.
Unfortunately there's as much chance of that happening as your far fetched ludicrous idea. |
|
By:
I agree with you Racingqueen on your last post.particularly the last paragraph. See, I do on occasion.
|

By:
Lapsy Pa. 18.29. You’re doing a lot of criticising of posters about Trump without giving us your intelligence on how to stand up to/ stop his ambitions.
Care to give us anything positive? Please. |
|
By:
It is a threat 2nd time around and if allowed to get away with will be used again and again.
|
|
By:
Nothing positive at all,how can wrecking UK and European business be viewed as anything else.
The nuclear option is rightly held off ie aka the Japanese bond sell threat or EU ACI but a stand is needed imo |
|
By:
@ RQ your post is vindicated with this interview
|
|
By:
A stand by who? And of what type and construct? That was what I asked you.
|
|
By:
I said it was a spectacular failing of the USA. Its also a major failing of voters who in the US frequently elect geriatrics.
Diane Feinstein was basically a corpse who refused to give up power. Mitch McConnell was having live strokes on TV on a weekly basis ffs |

The US president questioned whether Nato would come to the rescue of the US. "I know we'll come to (Nato's) rescue, but I just really do question whether or not they'll come to ours," he said
Has anyone asked him who is the only country in history to invoke article 5 of Nato treaty?  |
|
By:
Its absolute 1.01 if Russia launched air strikes on Poland etc tomorrow, you wouldn't see a US boot on the ground in Eastern Europe lol
|

By:
If you are getting threatened you are either going to take it and appease or fight,i do think it is being played out as whether you consider Trump as bluster but i don't and personally would align with Carneys view.
I did mention US bond sell offs,aware they are generally non government investments and require a buyer but think they may be some part of ACI's strategy, the bottom line is they and other measures will create hurt on both sides but it seems to be shifting this way judged on Wall St markets this evening. |

We are not being threatened. Where do you come up with this s h I t?

Since the 1970s, Roger Stone has worked on Republican campaigns, including those of Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, Jack Kemp, Bob Dole,George W. Bush and Trump.
This is the type of person contributing to US politics across multiple US presidents https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JK3ePiaPU7E |

By:
look at Stone at the end. He is utterly deranged
|
|
By:
10.46pm. Are you for real? Is the application of tariffs not a threat?
|
|
By:
You are a complete and utter numbskull. You used the word attack then the words fight in the same breath being threatened but now you’ve backslid as usual into economics and commerce! Tariffs are economic devices, not military!
  |
|
By:
No,you are so rigid and pedantic you only can see 'attack' as one dimensional hence you used 'Anderson sheds,.
Tariffs are coercion and bullying to achieve the taking of sovereignty from an a people who want to retain their status quo. |
|
By:
You are an imbecile who panoramas your every comment about Trump. An embarrassment to this forum.
|
|
By:
Agreed. What isn’t is ATTACKING you imbecile.
|
|
By:
Whether you like it or not you have to accept tariffs and economic measures are a form of attack, i really have to give up on you.
|
|
By:
They are anything but ATTACK. Absolute drivel.
|
|
By:
Of course weaponising tariffs is a form of attack on the Uk, as was dissing the Chagos Islands deal . Newcastle will be launching wave after wave of attacks in the next hour. You don't have to fire a bullet to mount an attack. These tedious fools.

“Weaponising tariffs”! Oh for FFS, give it a rest.

Trump has destroyed Em , The Macron shades

No wonder Manny shot off , he probably thought there was another Handshake incomming
|

By:
Not all down to 'tariffs' but they are certainly playing a part as thousands of jobs to go at Jaguar in the Midlands.
A hammer blow to Coventry in particular. |

Lapsy is of course correct - don't listen to that loon lapsy just ignore
Weaponization of Trade: Economists and policymakers describe tariffs as an "economic weapon" used to restrict trade, punish rivals, and exert political pressure without military force. They are often characterized as an "act of war" because they are designed to damage the economic interests of the targeted nation. Mutually Destructive Nature: While intended to coerce, tariffs typically trigger retaliatory measures, creating a trade war that harms both the imposing and target countries. This dynamic is likened to a stadium where everyone standing up ends up with a worse view than if they had remained seated. Distinction from Sanctions: Unlike sanctions, which create legal barriers that can halt transactions entirely, tariffs raise the cost of imports. This allows business to continue but at a higher price, effectively taxing consumers and businesses in both nations while disrupting global supply chains. |

They aren't working for Americans nor the rest of the world,the argument they benefit in the long term is moot as they are doing zilch for US debt which with tariffs shouldn't. It(US) is heading towards a precipice,debt interest rates,petrodollar weak,and the 'poor' squeezed.
Not sure where it will end up,UK food and drink sector probably also taking a hit as also European automobiles,drinks etc. A two way hurt and i can't figure out for what,i would take your slant CL ie 'attack on the entire system' as plausible but for what, the rich cannot lose,rule number one. |

Take the last 6 years and the events that have shaken the supply chain, one after the other, starting from Covid and then pick out any natural causes - there ain't many
