3D - align countries against china and to the US ie isolate China

good point. wages are much higher ... but no shipping internationally cuts down costs a bit? but will people need to be trained to pay higher for goods in the name of "supporting their local economy?" not sure how that will work exactly, but good point.

With the high tariffs, they want to pressure companies to relocate back to the US. ie if you don't want to pay the tariffs, move your factory to the US

1 D is the tariffs

I wanted to counter-act a new Trump thread that just came out about how he is bankrupting the US. So just came across this guy's theory.

pattaya is designed to get you to drink 24/7 the place is like a casino and the dealer always wins. if you have a proclivity for drink, pattya will exarcerbate it. unless you have a good wife or gf. you will see some family guys with a thai wife and child in pattaya. or you need to work and/or have a hobby. interestingly, there is a pattaya bar owner who runs a youtube channel and he doesn't drink. he understands that it interferes with making money I guess and that he probably would die very young being in a bar all the time if he was a drinker. which many bar owners have died young. enough rambling from me.

what percentage of foreigners are alcoholics? can it even easily be defined? if you're retired and you dont need to work anymore and you're in a bar all day, is it considered alcoholism? did meet a thai girl who was dating a foreigner. she said she cut him loose because he had a drug problem.

I haven't watched this yet ... came into my feed. He's talking about the Mar-a-Lago accords, which seems to be where the tariffs are heading. Will try to watch it later and comment. If anyone else has a chance to watch it, pls let me know what you think.

sorry, off topic but ... philippines warning of invasion of taiwan?

I found a trick. I'm carrying my umbrella. But they might assault me even more if they see that I have a shield. So might not work.

I was going to say that's the downside of development anywhere in the world.

don't let people into your home. also, even the police needs a warrant to enter your home, don't they? and police are always in pairs at least and never alone? and a plain clothes policeman would never show up to your home.

not to mention the hordes who are secretly wishing he gets hit by a bus

Was that part of "The Plan" ?? He he ...

Well, there is another video that just popped into my feeds which is consistent with my previous post, which suggests Trump is trying to move countries away from China. And according to this, that is what is starting to happen. Even though we've had to sift through 10000 posts on this site about how the world hates Trump. The world abandons China in a spectacular display of loyalty to Donald Trump

Who Trump talks out his butt you mean? So the debate rages on? Let me know what I missed.

NO !!!! Trump topics are like a bottomless black hole.

I'm suffering from Trump Overdose. I'm taking a break from the internet ... Have fun, kids.

Anyway, I truly surrender. There are so many theories out there that I don't know what to believe. I'm out. Good luck trying to figure out what's going on.

Here, watch this. I have no idea if he's right, but he talks about China exports and how Trump is trying to throw a wrench in China's plans with the tariffs. Could be. I dunno.

But then again, some analysts are saying Trump's tariff strategy may backfire and make countries cozy up to China more ... and Make China Great Again. Ha ha ! So you may be right .. Trump may be an idiot after all. Ha ha !!

Here's yet another theory I have just come across. It's ALL about China ... even tariffs on other countries have to do with China .. The theory is that Trump is trying to get every country to set anti-China provisions? He explains why SEA countries have specifically high tariffs ... it's connected to China. It's all rather complex stuff, and I don't think it's fair to say Trump is stupid. It's more complicated than most of us can understand.

So what are you suggesting? It's due to the Covid jab?
