Damn! First it was higher tariffs now this? How will MAGA ever get their swag gear?
Good, make them suffer.
Shocking. I am shocked. Shocked, I tell you.
If only we had an ally who we could help get their territories back who would be more than happy to play for our team hmmm
You joke, but Russia is a better replacement for China than Ukraine. The territory is bigger, which means more resources, and instead of giving them aid USA can buy raw material cheap because they need money.
At least that’s the strategy I’d expect from your current administration, since everything is laser-focused on very short term profit.

Our glorious Elven Nation would never stoop so low as to ally with the vile, savage Orks. We are perfect and beautiful and clean, noble in mind and spirit, and accomplished in the High Arts. They are cruel and stupid and traitorous, incapable of speaking the Enlightened Tongue or understanding the Noble Truths. I would sooner slice off my own wrist than extend a hand to the insidious, pig-like beasts of the Slavic Kingdom.
The only path forward is one of undisputable supremacy. We must turn to the ancient weapons and unleash the hellfires on Ork and Chinese Fantasy Race alike.
The fact I read this in the voice of an high elf speaks volumes of the old tongue.
What would work great is no tariffs, no passports, no visas, no countries, no religion too
Imagine no possessions, I wonder if you can.
It’s difficult if you try. But worth it.
The world would be absolutely wonderful with no people 🥹
It will happen eventually. We may be accelerating how quickly that is coming
And no borders?
Can you imagine, living for today?
well I am tired of living for yesterday…
And tomorrow is such a bitch! Rather give me today
Just give me money, that’s what I want.
These are the lyrics Lennon rejected.
Imagine all the people living for today!
Trump really got them.
His bluff didn’t work this time. He wants to play another hand. His shifty eyes are betraying his poker face. He’ll win the next hand! Who cares anyway, he’s not playing with his money.
Seems simple - just put a big tariff on war so nobody can afford it!
They’d better not cut off supplies of fried rice and crab rangoon! We’ll have a REAL problem if they do that!
My local oriental market has their business up for sale…
But have we learned from our mistakes? No.
It’s okay! We have “clean” coal! 🥲
way to go trumpsky.
Just wait until the Chinese cut off basic industrial inputs like chemicals, screws, nails, electronic parts.
If the stock market wasn’t such a shitshow maybe we’d finally see SBSW taking off. They’re the only Platinum and Palladium producers in North America who can compete with Russian producers.
US is just lucky they didn’t start selling off and unloading US debt
According to the Trump that’s exactly what he wants, countries to sell off the bonds they have in exchange for super long term bonds that defer interest for like 100 years.
Bold optimism that the USA will last 100 of any time unit.
That’s not how it works, though? But alas… our white house isn’t filled with our best, but rapists and criminals.
Who would they sell it to?
International collection agencies? Imagine the spam.
White House red phone goes off, “We’ve been tying to reach you about your nation’s extended warranty.”
Luckily Europe is one step ahead:
Access to clean energy and rare earths is critical for the EU as it seeks to achieve climate neutrality by 2050 and boost its autonomy in strategic sectors.
But sizeable shares of the global mining, processing and recycling of some of the critical raw materials, like lithium, that are indispensable to the development of renewable energy, everyday items as well as defence systems, are controlled by China, from which the EU wants to ‘decouple’ due to its aggressive and protectionist trade and foreign policy practices.
Central Asia holds large deposits, including 38.6% of the world’s manganese ore, 30.07% of chromium, 20% of lead, 12.6% of zinc, and 8.7% of titanium.
“These raw materials are the lifeblood of the future global economy. Yet they are also a honeypot for global players. Some are only interested in exploiting and extracting,” von der Leyen told Central Asian leaders.
“Europe’s offer is different. We also want to be your partners in developing your local industries. The added value has to be local. Our track record speaks for itself,” she added.
Europe also tries their best to improve the situations in the other mines (some are so awful they’re basically off-limit for western companies because of child slavery and such stuff) and find new patches for example in Scandinavia or middle- and south America which could then be extracted with the respective countries.
Brussel does a lot of bullshit, sometimes phenomenally so (in the end it’s just politics as well), but in this case they really seem to try.
There are alternative sources for these . . . but the US has pissed all of those countries off too.
But not many and nor are they able to provide the required quantity, as described in the article.
Don’t worry. Russia is willing to work with Trump and Trump can say that Russia is its only ally.
their only ally is a country that plays both sides (and would most likely side with china if pressed)
this is hilarious.
