SCREW GLOBALIZATION! It always works against the U.S., and I believe that's the plan. Ronald DICKHEAD Reagan was the asshole who started that shit, most assuredly to weaken the U.S., only a dimwitted idiot can't see that. I was there, I saw it happen in real-time, from the union busting to the repeal of the usury laws and trade tariffs, he fucked this country up!
I think it's time to start looking into closing MOST of the SEVEN HUNDRED foreign military bases as it's a COLOSSAL waste of money.
Trade war? I hope the EU enjoys the wonderfully wholesome food that China produces.
BRING IT ON FUCKERS! |
The majority of the food that the EU consumes is made in the EU.
Also:
China life expectancy: 73.18 years
US: 78.14 years
The difference isn't really that great when taking into account HDI and economic strength. China's food can't be that bad.
And the whole "BRING IT ON FUCKERS" implies that you have a feeling that the US would easily win a trade war. Considering that Germany alone is the world's largest exporting nation (larger than even China), and that the EU's GDP is greater than the US's... I don't think it would be all that easy.

All the U.S. needs to do is to threaten a new round of overseas military base closures and they'll drop their drawers, bend over and grab their ankles. There are towns in Europe whose economy is completely, absolutely and utterly dependent on the U.S. military. I would start with ALL of the bases (cold war relics) in Germany. You could build a skyscraper with the bricks they would shit.

Do you have any statistics? I mean employment levels, etc? I'm sure that they're not going to be massive (a couple of hundred thousand across the whole of the EU), so the Government's would easily be able to take up the bases and call them their own. Which would really not do much other than strengthen EU militia...
Also, I really wouldn't want to piss off the Germans.
