He's talking about the greatness of the U.S. post WW2 at the moment.


When the US was giving everything to everybody for free?

Who wouldn't think we're great when we're giving everything away for free?

Correct.

They want it like it was when we were subsidizing everything.

Pay up bitches.

This is the first time Ive seen a dude from Singapore get his pee pee sucked on national tv.

if a country is ruled by the left (Canada) they will say OMB

also, singapore wasnt directly hit hard by tarrifs imposed on the, they were hit hard by indirect tariffs imposed on china

quote:

U.S. Tariffs:
.
The U.S. has imposed tariffs on certain goods from China, which have indirect consequences for Singapore's trade with the U.S. as Singapore exports intermediate goods and services to China that are used in China's exports to the U.S.

Singapore has twice the trade with the EU then the US

EDIT:

And Singapore alosi imports 50% more from China then the US. Sounds like China is flexing that leverage to try to hurt the US

The top origins were China ($63.1B), Malaysia ($47.3B), Chinese Taipei ($47B), United States ($43.2B), and South Korea ($25.3B).

reasonable speech so far, he's not saying anything outlandish really

Like I've been saying everything is being renegotiated. Alliances have been shattered and now we're driven by transactions. No one should feign shock if a country chooses to side with China when they once sided with us and vice versa. It's a new world being forged. This guy is being very level headed in this speech.

quote:

Every country in the world is reconsidering their relationship with the U.S.

If bond investors didn't cause Trump to cave on a lot of the other tariffs things would be much worse right now.

---

Good, I hope they do. I then hope we both decided not to trade with each other and start production internally.

We need to become to ourselves. frick everyone else, literally. I dont even want them visiting here. NOT WELCOME

He's actually speaking pretty reasonably so far

He seems to have a pretty good understanding of things

You progressives sho’ nuff love you some red Chyna!

This guy is being very level headed in this speech.

Absolutely

And what he is saying is what every other country is thinking and he said as much

People are missing the point about how many people live in Singapore as if they exist in a vacuum in this regard. They don't.

I've yet to see one of you clowns explain why it is only wrong when the US has tariffs. One day there will be no jobs at all for your kids or grand kids all because you clutched your pearls and swooned at the idea of paying a higher price for a short period of time.

We should just continue to subsidize Singapore at our own expense, because….. OMB

It's definitely not the first time you've said something retarded in this thread however

For a dude with an uncircumsized penis and soft mentality you sure do hate autistic people huh?

I thought you lefty queers loved everyone and respected everyone?

Guess thats a lie as well.
