And to Bluto’s point… the number one stated goal of the PRC for decades has been the reunification of China and Taiwan by any means necessary. The Chinese people will have a stomach for a high attrition war over Taiwan way more than the American people do (and rightfully so). I just have hesitations over the true capability of our allies and partners to project force into the SCS in the way that we truly would need them to do to be a difference maker in conflict with China. The placement of munitions and personnel is great, but without a real ability to defend against land based hypersonic and ballistic missiles that China has, I’m not sure the regional partnerships that we have will move the needle in a decisive way.

That’s pretty far removed from your original assertion that we get our ass kicked long term. And again, they better have a large stomach for attrition as we starve them out over any extended conflict.

NOBODY is getting “off the hook” for the unfair Trade Balances, and Non Monetary Tariff Barriers, that other Countries have used against us, especially not China which, by far, treats us the worst! There was no Tariff “exception” announced on Friday. These products are subject to the existing...

My wife finally got a job, and now that we have some disposable income I was going to get a new gaming PC. Prices having been getting absolutely ridiculous for even what's considered a mid range machine because of this

The exemption for iPhone's was a bit odd, considering the messaging of bringing iPhone assembly to the States.

The messaging from the White House and the appointees has lacked any consistent focal point. The rollout to the public was mostly a disaster.

The end result can still be a positive, but it's hard to give them the benefit of the doubt right now.

We are like a week away from massive economic consequences that may be impossible to come back from. If Lutnick and Navarro are still employed by Friday there will be more and more capital flight from America and the price hikes / layoffs will start in earnest. We are still in a little bit of a “grace period.”

So, Trump's doctors even have to lie about his weight? ... and ... well ... everything?

I don't believe in reincarnation, but ...... Nero.
