K D Posted April 25 Posted April 25 China is losing this trade war and have vowed to fight until the end. Republicans will lose the midterms if they fight on so they are at a disadvantage so hopefully China sees the writing on the wall and concedes 1 1

The Frankish Reich Posted April 29 Posted April 29 I for one am thrilled that my future iphones will be produced in an Indian factory with even poorer work conditions and cheaper labor than those in China. America gets greater by the day!

We know what happens in China, and the fact that you feel like they suck less than India doesn't mean it needs to be that way. Either way, you still get easy access to your lawyer porn, where "OVERRULED!" takes on a whole new meaning. 1

I'm just pointing out that shifting production from China to India doesn't really do anything for those would-be American manufacturing jobs. And it may be a niche, but lawyer pr0n is my niche, so please lay off. My barrister wig is my own business.

You've missed the details underpinning the alliance if you think it's only about shifting cheap manufacturing. It's about mutual investment over the next serval decades in areas of technology, energy development and military hardware that will counter China's growth. 1

India has surpassed China as the most populated country in the world, while China is seeing massive population decline. On a personal note, a very close liberal friend of mine is rooting for Europe, Canada and Mexico to align with China and take the US down. Here's an alternative vision- the US / India alliance. This aged well.

They worked out the broad strokes a few weeks ago, and are working out the fine details now. Are you claiming the deal is dead and won't shape the future supply chain and manufacturing base of our country and India over the next decade? If so please go on the record right now and say there will never be a US / India trade alliance. Or are you doing that thing where you you deny reality and then claim victory?

Settle down, Nostradamus. I said “this aged well” not “Trump’s trade fantasy is DOA.” But it’s cute watching you sprint to defend another “just a few more weeks” promise like it’s gospel. You’d think after years of “any day now” or "two weeks away" the placebo effect would’ve worn off. Nope. 🤡

You get triggered every single day and have to find incredibly sad ways to convince yourself that you're on the winning team every, single, day. You've just become a sad clown.
