OK. And?

You can't stop trolling? PS. On the off chance that you really don't get that wrt rare earths the US needs China but not the other way around you really need to go back to school.

Well, that does it for me! Sunny has been watching some YT vids and apparently China has experienced the apocalypse while the US is cruising along. So glad I didn't miss that post - so glad!

Xi is running circles around Trump. While Trump destroys the world's belief in anything coming from the US government, Xi is jetting around Asia making deals and strengthening relationships. All the clown does is flip-flop and continue to trash talk Zelenski while blowing kisses to his favorite dictator. It wouldn't surprise me one bit if he went to Moscow for the Victory Day parade on May 9th, the traitor.

So a 10% drop in arrivals in March might not lead to less revenue?

You're right, winning with 4D chess!

Not too shabby, but still.... "As of March 31, 2025, Airbus reported a backlog of 8,720 jets, of which 7,696—or 88.9%—were A220 and A320 family narrowbodies." https://flightplan.forecastinternational.com/2025/04/10/airbus-and-boeing-report-march-2025-commercial-aircraft-orders-and-deliveries/#:~:text=As of March 31%2C 2025%2C Airbus reported a backlog of,75.4%—being 737 MAXs.

Did it take you 5 days to come up with that pitiful come-back? I guess you've been busy cleaning egg off your face, huh?

Igor, what are you doing here (except stalking me)? Putin won't be criticized in this thread so no need for you to lurk around waiting to jump to his defense.

I didn't mention Canada. Are you hearing voices?

More winning! US Economy to Lose Billions as Foreign Tourists Stay Away https://archive.ph/9rQTy "The US economy is expected to lose billions of dollars in revenue in 2025 due to a decline in foreign tourism and boycotts of American products. Arrivals of non-citizens to the US by plane dropped almost 10% in March from a year earlier, with international travelers spending a record $254 billion in the US last year."

That's true. Airbus is a victim of their own success.

My deepest apologies. Looking forward to your post where you let Trump have it with both barrels!

Whereas, OTOH................

When a MAGA poster suddenly turns into an environmentalist you know they have run out of excuses for the clown.

And the winning just continues! Global investors dump US stocks at record pace, BofA survey says "Global investors have slashed their holdings of U.S. stocks by a record amount in the past two months, a trend that is likely to continue given a record number of managers say they plan to keep cutting their exposure, BofA Global Research said on Tuesday. Respondents to BofA's monthly survey of fund managers were a net 36% underweight U.S. equities, the most in nearly two years, a number that has plunged by 53 percentage points since February, the biggest such fall on their records."

Yes, because what happens in one region of the world can have absolutely no impact on other parts of the world. Gotcha, thanks for clearing that up!

And the winning continues!

Not to worry. I'm pretty sure the feeling is mutual.

Could we please have just one topic where you don't drag Trump into it?

Trump calls Xi’s tour of Southeast Asia a chance to ‘screw’ the US "Chinese President Xi Jinping is on a tour of Southeast Asia, positioning China as a stable partner in contrast to the US. President Donald Trump reacted saying the tour was a chance to “screw” the US." So China has already started cashing in after the biggest political self-own in history. Well done Donald, so much winning. Tired of winning yet? This is just the start!

If, by burning down the house, you mean thrashing the US economy and it's standing in the world, making enemies out of allies etc. then, yes. Seems to be a thing among the violent right. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/know-arson-suspect-fire-pa-gov-josh-shapiros-residence-rcna201096

Yes, why not? It's not like you haven't done it before.

When someone plays the "Soros bogeyman" card you know you're dealing with a person of "modest" intellectual means.

The Trump Slump is real, and it's only gonna get worse as he furiously transforms the US from leader of the free world to the world's biggest banana republic. Attacks on the free press, on the courts, weaponizing DOJ and other departments against political opponents all point to a once proud nation heading to the abyss. To have voted for this criminal one was excusable. Twice? No way.
