mad how
America had 33 based in europe
How many does Russia have in the west
Who is the aggressor? define rearm
Europe needed 4yrs to rearm
They almost ended up being colonized by Germany
Stay ready and you don't need to get ready
5yrs is too late when your factories havbeen crippled
I can paste a list of small neighbours attacked and ask you to paste those attacked attacked by Europe.

You know you can be a normal country – tone hat doesn't attack its neighbours for sport. Then you'd have friends and bases everywhere too. Or you won't even need them. There'e be no NATO because there'd be no worries about Russia

@bolded
Cripple them let us see naa – since you want to pursue a hypothetical argument. I guess you haven't learnt from Ukraine and think it's how you drink water that you drink 7-Up.

JuanDeDios:
In Trumpiverse, there's no scenario in which America wins on this tariff matter. The current system is not weighted against America, but Mr Trump just wants to see a trade surplus - because he has a kid's understanding of these things. If that happens, the price Americans will pay is not something you want to imagine. But let's see.
billionaire has kids understanding if trade?

Americans can pay the price
The world cannot
They're all coming to negotiate now in less than 2 weeks

You think it's by wokeism or trump derangement
How much you get for account

SalamRushdie:
Shame on you ,shebi you and your fellow travellers claimed Europe will not bow but retaliate but now they are folding Yiu dey claim nonsense 😅😅😅..it's just the beginning everyone will come around
No.
You are the shameless one who belief tariff are great for the economy because Trump
said so and would instantly declare that tariff is bad immediately Trump makes a U-turn.

EU hasn't bowed, it offered Zero-tariff proposition on industrial goods where it has the
largest advantage. The only beneficiary of such a deal is Musk Tesla, every other US
major industrial manufacturing sector will eventually be destroyed by EU counterparts.
This is more of a ridicule rather than a win for Trump, though he is too dull to understand.

If he accept, he pose major risk to American industrial sector outside of electric vehicles,
if he refused, the EU tariffs are coming. Yes, don't celebrate yet.


So, I ask you, since tariffs are great at bring back manufacturing and jobs and boosting
the economy, does it make sense for Trump to even try to negotiate with anybody?

Why would he deny Americans such great benefit from tariff by negotiating?

Trump appears to be having the upper hand o

But one thing is certain, Europe and America will never remain the same.

Allman eyes don open now. Prioritize your Interest first.
politicians don't care about their countries
Just their pockets
They won't do anything
Socialism does not encourage production
That's why they imposed tariffs in the first place

Bunch of pussies. Europe the American lapdog...

They are already shivering 🥶 because of tariff, what if a blanket embargo or sanction were place on them just like the ones on North Korea, Cuba, Iran or Venezuela?

I didn't mention Russia because Russia nor be their grand father mate.....

A continent built on thievery, genocide and on the wealth of African Nations....

I suppose EU just said this to fulfill all righteousness.

Trump may likely push back at first.
Apart from electric vehicles and weapons, US have no other advantage over the EU.
A zero tariff on industrial goods will mostly "benefit" the EU.

Waiting for the pro-tariff Trump-supporter to make a U-turn immediately dear leader
changes his mind and tell us that tariffs are no longer good.
You no get talk.

Let him withdraw from Nato na. Who dey hold am? The only time Nato countries has gone to war on the defense of a member was because of America after 9/11.

Let him withdraw from Nato.

And to add, countries should stop using the dollar as the world currency. Build your military industrial complex. Stop buying weapons from the Americans. Remove their military bases from your countries. Stop investing in america. E be like say these Americans don forget the benefits them dey get from the rest of the world.

Go and sit down! Even the EU didn't believe that shìt and told Ukraine that it would take them at least 10 years or more to improve their military to the level that it can cushion the effect of US pulling out

No it's not
How is zero for zero a win ?
Do you even understand what's going on? If there were no tariffs, he wouldn't have done that in the first place

The deal he offered the EU, he said his tarriffs are still lower than what the EU is billing American companies, so why won't zero tariffs be a big win? What do you think he has been trying to do?
That's a first, they will come to the negotiation table on other things.


Try to go read up and understand what has been going on.

You think this is APC politics? Focus on that.

He pauses when they are on the negotiating table, just like he did with Mexico.

People that don't understand the Art of the Deal are just here ranting. It's not about bullying... it's making your point, and then giving some concessions as necessary, as long as it is beneficial to your people

And how did they lead Ukraine to war?

Europe has 448million people, while USA has 341 million people, with the highest purchasing power per individual. You're underestimating USA when it comes to bilateral trade. The US has a higher import from Europe than import from USA to Europe

American tariff is a powerful tool
