See post 40.
Just to add, i think Trump is looking to start World War 3,not with bombs and bullets,but a financial war. |
Good and relevant point if I may say. But....consider the extensive presence of existing commercial and military US interests already here. This is a whip with two handles and nobody wants to let go.
Given the backbone, it should be resolved a lot easier than the last time anybody got into negotiations with a trading partner. I'd volunteer a year just for the fun of it. A suitable mindset is all that is required and Mr. Trump is definitely not a salesman, he can only try to dictate and that means he's not as cute as he thinks he is.
Or as long standing. At the back of my mind I had the following reminder waiting to see light of day:
Life is but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
Macbeth, but so Trump.
