Given that, under Trump, they might end up fighting for Putin, maybe it's best that they do leave.

Which is why the 20th century was an epoch of massive wealth destruction where the world economy ended up much smaller than it began. On Oppositeworld.

Thank you time traveler.

What has DEI got to do with the huge amount of agricultural and biotech engaged in by universities like Cornell? Why is it that the most advanced industries in America are mostly clustered around cities where major research is engaged in by universities? America is in danger of being lapped by China when it comes to research. I don't think China could ask for a better accomplice than people like you.

Thanks for the generalizations. You got anything specific to offer to address the actual issue: Who will cave first and why you think so?

And what's even more exciting this will be happening next week!!!

Just maybe that's because chips are technologically advanced high value items with a proportionally very low number of workers. The kind of industry that belongs in an advanced economy.

You're not willing to take Trump's word for it? What about if Musk back some up on it?

The Coming Collapse of China is a book by Gordon G. Chang, published in 2001, in which he argued that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) was the root cause of many of China's problems and would cause the country's collapse by 2011. When 2011 was almost over, Chang admitted that his prediction was wrong but said it was off by only a year, asserting in Foreign Policy that the CCP would fall in 2012. Consequently he made the magazine's "10 worst predictions of the year" twice.[1][2][3] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Coming_Collapse_of_China

Here is your version: If you look at the scheme of things, the water used on showers and dishwashers and laundry is literally a drop in the bucket. Here is my improved version: If you look at the scheme of things, the water used on showers and dishwashers and laundry is like a drop in the bucket. It saves you 6 whole keystrokes!

The United States gets vital goods from China that cannot be replaced any time soon or made at home at anything less than prohibitive cost. Reducing such dependence on China may be a reason for action, but fighting the current war before doing so is a recipe for almost certain defeat, at enormous cost. Or to put it in Bessent’s terms: Washington, not Beijing, is betting all in on a losing hand. https://www.foreignaffairs.com/united-states/trade-wars-are-easy-lose?utm_medium=newsletters&utm_source=twofa&utm_campaign=Trade Wars Are Easy to Lose&utm_content=20250411&utm_term=EWZZZ003ZX

Sure. Let's say that China will collapse some day. But what day is that? It's about whether Xi or Trump gives in first. And I did read an article by him on this issue. In that article he took no account of the political dimension in this struggle. He took no account of the fact that Xi doesn't have to worry about midterm elections. Chang may be an "experienced China ham" but maybe not such an experienced American one. And you might want to read something from these "China hams" https://www.foreignaffairs.com/china/underestimating-china?s=ESPAZ005A1&utm_medium=promo_email&utm_source=fa_edit&utm_campaign=pre_release_understanding-china_prospects_a&utm_content=20250410&utm_term=ESPAZ005A1

But nobody might start to care once they put their threat into action. As we've seen from Trump's retreat, reality has a way of catching up on those who live in denial .

Because misery loves company?. Just because they've come to talk doesn't mean they've come to concede.

Supposedly, they're paying El Salvador to keep him incarcerated, so that's going to be a pretty unconvincing argument.

Not surprising.

And you offered no substantive criticism. Just generalities.

He was in the USA under the protection of the law. The Trump administration violated the law. What is so hard to understand about that?

Pure nonsense from you. Donald Trump has explicitly said that the exporting nation pays the tariff. "At a rally in Arizona in mid-August, he claimed that Vice President Kamala Harris, his Democratic opponent, is lying when she refers to his tariff plan as a “Trump tax.” “She is a liar. She makes up crap … I am going to put tariffs on other countries coming into our country, and that has nothing to do with taxes to us. That is a tax on another country,” Trump said. In September, he repeated the claim during an interview with Fox News: “It’s not a tax on the middle class. It’s a tax on another country.” And he said again during a rally in Wisconsin Saturday that “it’s not going to be a cost to you, it’s going to be a cost to another country.” https://edition.cnn.com/2024/09/09/politics/fact-check-trump-vance-tariffs/index.html P.S. I see you offer no rebuttal to Trump's brilliant and insightful observations.

lots of people out there like you who have no use for the law and want a strongman in power. They're called fascists.

All those liberal professors doing agricultural research at Cornell. I hear they're registering cows to vote.

There is no list. No evidence by plaintiffs ever mentioned a list. It was a falsehood fabricated by right wing conspiracy theorists.

Why can't people use "literally" correctly? At any rate, you're basically right but it sends a message. Somehow I don't think Trump thinks there's a problem when it comes to water shortages in the USA.

It's a good thing that water is a limitless resource in the US and no matter how much you pull out of the ground there will always be more and it will be easily accessible.

The illogic is all on your side. I don't see JTS-Khorat defending the Chinese regime in his comments. Merely pointing out what he believes are advantages they enjoy. All you have done in reply is accuse him of ignorance without offering anything substantive to oppose his observations. Why do you think the China will break before the US does?
