Worse, they want not just Ukraine but Europe to actively lose. The destruction of the EU is the goal.

I guess if the people of Greenland accept a measly 10k soon to be worthless USD in exchange to join a dying empire, they deserve to be part of that empire. Maybe Trump is actually smart and this is a hidden IQ test.

There is a shipping route opening up that would enable Asian-Europen-American trade via a about 2/3 shorter route than currently possible. It would make any route through the Suez canals or around Africa pointless. This might not sound important right now, but it would fundamentally change the fortunes of countries and reshape the world.

And…then?

1. Greenland still belongs to Denmark even if you give 99999999 gazillion to each Greenlander

2. I don’t think anyone in Greenland is dumb enough to sell out their country for 10k to then live in a country where you will pay out of your ass in taxes, handing those 10k right back to the IRS in 5 years tops.

3. Greenlanders would have to call themselves “Americans” henceforth, which is considered an insult and lower class of civilization world-wide.

“3 Minuten sind 3 zu viel” geht hart. Viel besser als das heutige “45 Minuten und außerplanmäßiges Umsteigen weil der neue Lokführer nicht zur Arbeit kam und das Traffo wieder Probleme hat sind jetzt nicht so gut aber niemand kann sich ein Auto leisten”.

Yeah same. Account of 7 years banned in an instant for making fun of the chosen people. Turns out you can not do that. Ever.

You can be racist against everyone else though especially muslims. Individual site mods might take issue with that, but not the admins.

Based.

Thanks for typing out the percentages, so far I’ve only seen emotional news reports about it without any detailed info.

Are these tariffs on ALL goods from a certain country? Eg, does 34% on China mean 34% on ALL Chinese goods or just certain ones like cars?

Well, one of two things will happen now.

• The US economy will recede by roughly 30% over the coming years (classified by economists as “catastrophic collapse”)

• It will turn out that trade was “fake and gay” all along and autarky is the way to go, despite centuries of historic lessons to the contrary.

Take your pick.
