Could they though? You think China would just sit around and let the U.S fire nuclear missiles at them without intercepting them and firing their own? Why are you so sure that wouldn’t just end up with a U.S sized crater north of Mexico?

Also, dismissing any predictive situation as some crazy out there “what if” is hilarious.

War games are an extremely important part of any strategy so that you don’t just walk right into an easily predictable slaughter because you “don’t care about what ifs”.

Took em long enough

Enabling the Capitalist tendency for monopolization is not “for nothing”, it’s a necessity of the system.

As those smaller businesses go out of business, their leaders will either be scooped up under the lead of larger business, or they will be forced to return to the mass labour workforce, either way their market now belongs to the higher up capitalists and their new role is ensuring profits for those bosses.

If this was a targeted tariffs at something we specifically used to be good at, for example cars, and it came with price controls for the internal market, you might have a point.

As it stands a broad global tariff will not shift manufacturing “back” to the US it will simply serve to further monopolize the economy further.

That’s a good sentiment which should be encouraged. If more Americans had that base level of compassion we wouldn’t be here now.

Decades of trading death and destruction globally for comfort at home built an America ripe for the taking by the likes of Trump as he simply had to capitalize on the sentiments created by that “us at the cost of them” system better than Kamala was able to.

You are trying to defect rather than answer the question. Are you denying that he sent billions in weapons and aid to Israel, sent warships to defend them against potential retaliatiatory attacks, and loudly defended their “right to defend themselves”?

I’ll answer your deflection question though, just so you have no excuses.

Yes, many things happen without our permission. Examples from just under Biden, “We” didn’t want china to surpass us in so many metrics and “we” didn’t want Russia to continue to last against Ukraine despite our weapons shipments and sanctions, but ultimately “we” had no say in the outcome. The genocide that Biden (and now Trump) directly assisted in Gaza is just not one of those things.

He funded, supported, and raised in it’s destruction, yes. Are you denying that he did?

You’re still under the illusion that Biden/Harris and the Americans history of voting for their fascist enabling policies isn’t what lead us to where we are now.

Democrats were all in on the immigrant/crime panic and supported the violent squashing of protests against their genocide. To act like they aren’t also guilty of “punishing of out group and strict social control” is just apologia.

I don’t see the point of yourblast paragraph…do you believe capitalism is just voluntary exchange and that’s the only way wealth transfer happens? They want your money and they will take it any way they can. Fascism is a form of capitalism…

Who destroyed the Gaza Strip to begin with?

There would be no “Trump plan to rebuild Gaza” is Gaza wasn’t destroyed under Biden.

Why are you so “on board” with the destruction and genocide of Palestinians as long as it’s a Democrat doing it?
