The founding fathers wouldn’t want us to do anything we’ve done, outside of maybe WWII, since the Civil War happened. I’m sure they would totally support us having trade deficits, us being the world police for 70 years and letting illegal immigrants in with no pushback


Sure. We can all agree that Illegal immigration needs to be fixed. Legal immigration process has needed improvement for years also.

Trade deficits are not a boogeyman inherently, got to be be strategic about it.

You don’t have to be a bully when you are making friends through soft diplomacy programs. Some USAID programs actually helped on that front so we didn’t need to threaten to bully everyone.

Speaking of bullies, a loudmouth boy st our kids middle school had been harassing this girl for a while. Saying really annoying crap. She finally clocked him good and bloodied up his face. She doesn’t give a crap about getting detention. And now all the other kids are making fun of that boy. It makes me wonder…

Thanks Trump!


It’s amazing how naive you people are. These countries were already in bed with China, they’re just openly admitting it now that Trump has put the CCP on blast.

So the same criminals coming in, just “legally.”

Should do the same thing based on the current business climate we find ourselves in. We have to navigate this just like everyone else.

And people were laughing when Trump was saying the island was a security issue due to Chinese and Russian expansion in the region.

frick it, occupy and turn into a US territory, what are 50k unarmed people going to do about it? Cry to Denmark?

What if it’s in our best interest to take over Greenland?

That would be a war. A short war. But a war nonetheless. We’d also be in the wrong if this ridiculous scenario came to pass.

How would you propose he go about "getting her"? What would that look like in your mind?

No we wouldnt be in the wrong. Our obligation is to the US, not to anyone else.

Our obligations certainly dont include people who took advantage of our generosity for decades only to stab us in the back. They can move to China after we take over the island if they want to be friends with Xi

If they did, then over a half billion guns and trillions of rounds of ammo await. It would be the end of China.

I’m talking business and you jokers are talking war because you’re upset other nations do something you don’t approve of. Think about that for just a minute and what it would lead to.

The second we said we weren't going to be Santa Claus anymore the children began throwing a fit. It needed to happen and it was high time it did happen.


Full speed ahead, damn the torpedoes!

Will never happen. The US has the strongest navy and Air Force in the world by far. We would completely blockade them out and yes, even obliterate them in naval warfare before we allowed that. Chinas only threat through force would require using their massive population as human shields; and they’ll never touch our shores.


Be a shame if someone say threw some rods of god at the three gorges dam.

Realpolitik, they would be in the wrong. We have protected them for a century, for free. They are 3 hours away from the largest city in our nation, and the financial hub of the world. They are fricking delusional if they think they get to negotiate without our say so

Very few American allies have any right to do anything without our approval. Their whole spiel on why it was OK for the US to subsidize them for so long was because of this "influence"

Either we get the influence, or they can pay us a tab for a century of security. They do not get to give us nothing. This is not model UN where everyone is equal
