Hegemonic power!

We SHOULD be the bully but we have not been. Trump is making that correction now.

We have the worlds largest military, the second largest manufacturing base (first per capita, I believe) and the most wealth in the world.
We are the bully, China is not a threat to anyone in our hemisphere, period.
The Trump administration is creating fake problems to fix.

I’m talking about international trade dumbass. You look at the tariffs imposed between countries and you tell me who’s been the cuck for decades.
I’ll give you the hint- it’s the us taxpayer and industries.
I’m not shocked you like the cuck position

We rule the roost, our consumption (as a result of wealth and a strong dollar) will ensure we are upside down on trade balances.
This isnt opinion. This is economic fact.

This is why China blocked the Black Rock port trade.

It involves 40 ports, not just the Canal ports.

"Always be" is 100% incorrect.

We use our enormous wealth and bloated military to get whatever we want.

The fee would be a million to 1.5 million, sounds like a lot but consider.....
Some of the modern container ships carry over 20K TEU (20 foot containers). A TEU will hold about 1,000 cases of, lets say juice from south africa, at 24 units. The net result, that juice you are buying at the convenience store will have an increased cost of 2 cents on a 2 dollar price.
During covid they were ABSOLUTELY RAPING YOU, they quadrupled the price on shipping and that juice drink was costing you nearly 17 cents extra, or nearly 9 times what this will cost.

Fine then lets charge them something per ton or per container.. You can't charge a small cargo ship that may carry a couple million $ worth of product the same as a 24.000 TEU container ship that carries a billon $ worth.

Supply chains will be completely fricked, Walmart is already trying to prepare for this. Basically everything will get shipped to Mexico or Canada.
There will be shortages
Inflation will skyrocket
Basically it's covid 2.0.
