Yea, well, the ‘educated’ in this thread were certainly trying really hard to make it stick and stick it to the ‘uneducated’.
To be completely fair, if the “uneducated” can’t even understand a simple thing like a tariff, they’d never understand historical precedence even if you smacked them upside the head with it. 
Well if you have a few tens of thousands of dollars lying around you could certainly make money with all the crashes that came and will come.
And completely ignoring a ton of other relevant factors in about 3-6 years you could see manufacturing return to the U.S but all the markets worldwide will be closed or hostile to us so it will be a domestic market which will upset a lot of people.

Yeah, if too many bridges get burned, things are going to get ugly and stay ugly for a long time. And they have been thoroughly burned already, so…
Oh please, telling Europe they have to actually defend themselves for once hardly qualifies as burning bridges.

Thanks for proving my point a couple of posts back.
And that supposed to mean something?
Absolutely.
Man, like I said before. Casual. Stroll.
Geopolitical scientist have been saying this will happen for a while. I think we’ll still have trading partners, but countries will withdrawal.

Nothing wrong with that however the US should stop pretending the EU doesn’t have hundreds of billions of dollars invested here too and can easily escalate matters by denying access to EU markets including banking and pulling investments.
There is no ‘however’. The EU needs to actually do something.
lmao
They have or have you not noticed the new fund they created regarding defense or Germany spending 100 billion euros in the next 10 years on upgrading their military? It’s good that they’re being force to wake up.
But again and however if people truly believe this is all there is to it they are unbearably naive.
Ten years. Ten. What are they doing now?
Keir Starmer stood in front of the world and said they would put boots on the ground in Ukraine after a peace deal was signed.
Since then it’s been meetings about future meetings on the inevitable meeting on how the EU will eventually come to an agreement to start talking about how they’re going to fight Russian aggression.
Over the next ten years that’s the important part for not even a wealthy country like Germany can afford to pump that much money nor would it have immediate results. And all of us can see here in the US the power of the industrial military complex and the incredible waste to upright fraud regarding our military spending.
And obviously they’re politicians and how Western Europe is treating this versus Eastern is painfully obvious. Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and others are already preparing for worst case scenarios.
Let me be perfectly clear with you…
We don’t care. We don’t need you. We aren’t globalists like the EU.
The UK understands this, which is why they got the minimum of 10%. Once they start pushing all the invaders out, they’ll be back in business too.
Keep pushing and you will see NATO completely dissolve and it won’t matter to the US because we can defend ourselves just fine, but it will matter to the EU.
You don’t have the cards
Did I say I was from the EU?
And if you think this is all about military and don’t see how integrated the world economy is with the US at the center…I honestly do not know what to tell you.
Or do you honestly believe that the rest of the world doesn’t have well over 1 trillion dollars invested in the US?
Do you know how many people Toyota and Honda employ especially in the South?
It doesn’t matter if you think the US is globalist or not man. It is and has been for decades.
It’s not, no matter how bad Dems want it to be.
Do you know what the GDP for the United States was in 1980 compared to now?
Stop treating yourself this way.
Not a solid point to make because most democrats in the 80s and 90s were further “right” than even most Republicans are today.
