Lib narrative around “Trump is just retarded” has really kicked into gear, but the strategy is super obvious when you look at Elbridge Colby who was just confirmed as Under Secretary of Defense.

Greenland and Panama Canal are pretty obvious strategically.

Tariffs are about building America manufacturing independence, rerouting supply chains around China and putting our trade partners on notice.

We don’t want to be like the europoors who have had to keep paying for Russian energy after the invasion of Ukraine. What will happen when China inevitably invades Taiwan? The US is fucked at that point and it’s better to divest now on our own terms. The “non-tariff” policies Trump is talking about = putting countries on notice about dealing with China. A great example is Singapore which actually has a trade surplus with the US, but allows Chinese shell companies to get around export controls of Nvidia chips.

It's about how he loves tariffs because he's retarded and thinks a trade deficit is a subsidy

I think it’s for a couple of reasons. First and foremost, It’s just not top of mind for most Americans since it’s not kinetic warfare (despite massive evidence that the Chicoms have hostile intentions toward the US with their handing of COVID, TikTok, cyber attacks). And second many major US media orgs have conflicts of interest with Chinese owners with only a few exceptions.

he's nigger in mentality though. china can wait it out, he'll be out in 4 years, possibly in 2 when the Dems annihilate the GOP in the midterms. when you pick a fight in the school yard with your biggest foe, and you don't go and pick a fight WITH EVERYONE IN THE FUCKING YARD LIKE A NIGGER APE. China can see the US is melting. They can and frankly should wait.

This is still stupid. The US is simultaneously against China taking back Taiwan but also recognizes that Taiwan belongs to China (the One China policy). Yes, of course at some point they're not going to tolerate this bs and they will take what is theirs. We shouldn't go nuts over this though and certainly shouldn't go to war with China over what we recognize is their own land.

The real issue is this American notion that everything in the world is our problem.
