You are moving the goalposts to geopolitical strategy because you cannot defend your argument. I could respond to that, but I won't. I'll just cite Brandolini’s Law (The Bull**** Asymmetry Principle): the amount of energy needed to refute bull**** is an order of magnitude larger than is needed to produce it.

We are not equipped for extreme climate, so we need air conditioning, heating, clothing. We need airplanes to get across the planet.

Very much so, if the intention is to wage a war which no other NATO country was informed/consulted about.

Theft by deception. AI Overview President Trump introduced tariffs to the American public as a multipurpose strategy to protect domestic jobs, penalize countries deemed to have unfair trade practices, and generate government revenue. He championed import taxes not as a consumer burden, but as leverage to bring manufacturing back to the U.S. and combat the trade deficit. The White House (.gov) +4 His rollout to the public involved several key communication and strategic pillars: 1. The Core Messaging "Foreigners Pay the Bill": The administration consistently stated that tariffs are taxes paid by foreign nations or companies exporting to the U.S., not by American consumers. Economists and importers widely disputed this, countering that the added costs are typically passed down from importing companies to everyday shoppers. Rebuilding American Industry: He framed the taxes as a vital tool to reinvigorate U.S. manufacturing, promising that protecting domestic markets from cheaper foreign goods would create factory jobs. [1, 2] National and Economic Security: He used declarations of national emergency—citing issues like trade deficits, currency manipulation, and border control—to bypass Congress and directly implement sweeping tariffs under laws like the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) and the Trade Act of 1974. [1, 2, 3] 2. The Rollout and Tactics The "Reciprocal" Approach: He frequently announced "reciprocal tariffs," justifying high duties by arguing that if another country taxes U.S. goods, the U.S. should apply an equal tax on theirs. [1, 2, 3] The Element of Surprise: Tariffs were often announced and implemented unpredictably. The administration utilized sudden executive orders to shift rates or target specific countries 3. Public and Economic Response Business Adjustments: While the administration used the changes to protect blue-collar sectors, the resulting trade environment prompted American businesses to adjust. They canceled purchases, sped up orders before tariffs took effect, or sourced products from alternative, untaxed countries. [1, 2, 3] Legal and Expert Pushback: Mainstream economists argued that the tariffs would—and did—lead to higher prices and disruptions to the broader economy. Meanwhile, the actions sparked significant legal and political friction, with courts frequently reviewing the legality of his executive actions.Mon, 01 Jun 2026 11:09:05 +0000Then 1, Don't fly 2, Save up a bit more.Mon, 01 Jun 2026 11:08:28 +0000
