You know I didn't think china would have retaliated to such extent. It's almost like they are trying to kill trump.

Xi is backed into a corner. He made too many people disappear.

China was normalizing under Hu Jintao and Xi specifically reversed the process. Displacing the US was supposed to be the payoff.

Not reciprocating would be overt surrender. He’s fucked

The worst part about the "Learn to Code" people is that some of those miners where probably smart enough to get a low level IT certs and junk......and then they got replaced by infinite jeets anyway by the same people that told them to learn to code.

I 100% understand why the miners want to burn the whole system to the ground.

“Oh yanno some miners might even have like a 90 IQ, they’re not THAT retarded”

You don’t understand. Some people like to be tangibly productive because of how they were raised, and most office jobs would leave them with imposter syndrome and existential guilt.

I could never ever work in an office. It’s not who I am.

The thread the front page post about the tariffs on China links to is filled with complete and total fucking morons.

Why didn’t fatty mcfatboy make his post here instead?

Because there would be 30 pages of redditfarms takes, and another 30 pages bitching that jersh even dared feature this thread again, causing the previous 30 pages of redditfarms takes. Which would cause another 30 pages of meta-discussion, null taggings, hhh taggings, a potential thread lock, and yet more shitflinging.

Probably all well before lunchtime.

You guys are wrong, no offense.

China has a glaring weakness. It’s been destroying its own farmland on top of prevailing westerlies blowing the Gobi desert eastward.

China would starve

If I recall correctly China is the biggest importer of oil, along with sizeable imports if US grain/raw resources/food stuffs.

Edit: to add to this all the US would have to do is blockade the Strait of Malacca in South East Asia.

Anecdotes from people I interact with

Mid 60’s former marine corps tank crew guy:
No concern that he’s close to retirement. Had kept his distance from first term Trump, practiced strategic ambiguity.

Wants to fuck China and Europe to death with tariffs, finally believes Trump will do things for the blue collar class

40s El Salvadoran immigrant:

Hates Trump, echoes liberal talking points. Mitigated because he hates trannies and because you can’t be from El Salvador without appreciating Bukele, so his Trump hatred is muted by proximity to Bukele. Had family members killed by gangs back home

Doesn’t talk about politics anymore, probably because he wants to be mad but struggles with it

50’s Male nurse practitioner:

Bemoans superficial investment losses, not too badly. Muses about long term improvements, changes subject to how he enjoys the arbitrage of visiting Canada, talks about ordering wagyu in a restaurant for $20 USD

Of all the people I interact with, no normal person is at full TDS

Sorry, I think I missed it. What's the name of this sitcom?

Another question: what about the American birthrates? Was that even a question that was brought up by the administration at any point in time or has everyone kinda forgot that demographics are literally the future?

Yes he has an executive order on it. “He’s going to be the fertility president.” His words not mine.

Imagine being this young and not being excited about buying the dip.

I don’t give a single shit how much gay baby withdraw China does or what bond point levels are because of mass selloff. It’s four years, they can’t last a single year in a full blown trade war. If the economy is legit shuttered after Trump, then enjoy your new faggot troon blue president who will make temporary remedy fixes using globalism again to appease slave owners and big corpo adventurism. Either way, it will go back up.

Full. Steam. Ahead.
 
Overly Serious dijo:
I would agree with you except that I think the reality is neither has the power to actually defeat the other. The USA can sink anything China uses to transport its troops to American soil and whilst the USA could probably land forces in China they'd never successfully subdue China. The USA would probably try some sort of decapitation strike on Chinese leadership which would result in things going nuclear.

They have no reason not to use their 500 nukes on us if we so much as touch that thing. It would be realizing mutually-assured destruction.

What if it was destroyed by Chinese separatist completely unrelated to the trade war? How about if it's hit by a stealth attack with no proof we are involved? It sounds like this damn is a ticking time bomb if there going to nuke America whenever it eventually collapses like every other Chinesium product anyway.

I suppose ending the world rather than manage the humanitarian crisis it's collapse would create is a solution. Also I agree China is so weak their basic infrastructure can only be defended with threats of ending the earth "ancient Chinese secret" lmfao

Considering Chinese concrete standards, it could happen spontaneously
