re: Canadian PM announces "our old relationship with the US is over...we have other options"

Agreed, but eventually large numbers of whites will completely abandon the south and southeast. They’ll move into the Canadian Rockies and the US will eventually annex most of western Canada.
That’s fantasy for the foreseeable future. That isn’t happening and won’t happen. There’s are reasons that comparatively no one lives in the prairie provinces up there It’s beautiful, but the weather up there is awful.

Also, do you doubt a full US military effort today would fail to defeat Canada?
No doubt at all. Just pointing out that Canadians are patriotic people. Even those farmers in Manitoba, Alberta, and Saskatchewan are Canadian patriots. I respect them for that.

No, we aren't going to start mass-producing t-shirts in the United States. It is simply cheaper to do that elsewhere and there is nothing wrong with buying more from Vietnam than they buy from us. We aren't going to start randomly making all of the useless consumer shite that the US buys. Purses, belts, shoes, desk calendars, headsets, etc. Anything you can think of really that requires zero skill and cheap labor.
We don't have that labor. Its a good thing.
But by all means, point me to the workforce in the US that wants to go work in a factory making wal mart apparel.

Eurocat
I understand why you feel this way, because you live in Latvia and believe that European socialism is a sustainable model. And it is, for Europe. It also could be for the west generally in a perfect world. But the majority of the planet lives elsewhere and does not in any way share our values. They never will and you can't fix them.
In that context, European-style socialism only sows weakness and subservience.

And importers do pay the govt.
US importers, yes. And they pass those costs right on to consumers. The originating country is the last entity affected.
Its just bad policy when applied in the manner its being applied. This whole nonsense about trade deficits is moronic. Trade deficits with these countries is a sign of strength, not weakness. The only thing this all accomplishes is raising costs for Americans. We still need their cheap shite, and we are never, ever going to make that stuff here.

When the meteorologist tells you a tornado touching down is imminent and to seek shelter, they mean you have a very short window to prepare yourself.
Right. You're proving my point. The meaning of the word is entirely contextual.
If a weather man says a tornado is imminent--I, as a rational adult, know that it means a tornado is coming right this minute and I should take shelter.
If someone tells me a nation's military invasion of another nation is "imminent", I, an adult with common sense, would never expect that to mean "minutes".
Again, the application of "imminent" is relative and contextual.

Imminent means it's on its way right now. So we should be hearing of the launch within a few minutes. But of course we won't. You all need to stop using words you don't know the meaning of.
Imminent doesn't mean "within minutes" It is an inherently relative term.

Yawn. Border raids in the Kashmir region have been going on forever.
India is going after the cells that carried out the attack last week.

Because American Jews have no attachment to the state of Israel and don't see their religion as some transcendent trait.
Simple, really. American Jews are largely rich urban dwelling liberals. They just happen to be ostensibly Jewish.
That said, I'm not Jewish and I have no attachment to Israel either. Israel should do whatever is in its best interest. I don't give a shite whether Israel exists or not. Its up to Israelis.

We have people arguing to the death that increased taxes on Americans are the way to prosperity.
There are people here, dare I say the majority, who will vehemently deny the fact that tariffs are anything other than a sales tax. :lol:
Someone somewhere has convinced them that there is a bucket at every port or point of entry nationwide where importers drop money that will fill the Treasury coffers.

Picking on developing countries like Indonesia simply because we run a trade deficit with them is absurd
It doesn't mean they're "ripping us off"
It all circles back to this bizarre approach of attacking nations we have good relations with instead of the nations that we actually have a problem with.
That being said, we'll always have a trade deficit with China too. We're rich. Rich people buy more things.
To the contrary we should be doing everything possible to lure Indonesia into our fold. Same with Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, etc. Instead we're just forcing them to take Beijing's investments.

Ever heard of Japan?
This doesn't even make sense.
Need I remind you of the result of Japan's hyper-industrialization in the latter part of the 19th century and early 20th century? Japan, and to a lesser extent South Korea, are exceptions. None of the OSEAN nations are capable of what those two nations accomplished in the 20th century.

Having free trade with Indonesia would be a good thing
As we currently run a trade deficit with them applying tariffs to their imports hurts us more than it helps us.
We import Wal Mart clothes, palm oil, and tires/rubber from Indonesia primarily. We don't have the any relevant amount of the latter two.
And there is simply no market, workforce, or interest in producing wal mart apparel in the United States.
"Trade deficit" is such a stupid thing to fixate on. It is highly nation-dependent. We will always buy more from under-developed nations than they buy from us. Being the most economically developed nation in world history of any relevant size pretty much ensures that we will run trade deficits.

Why are you people acting like these countries are static and not capable of adjusting?
Because with VERY limited exception, there are practically no nations on earth that can afford to buy more from us than we buy from them.
We're the third largest nation on Earth, and by far the richest relative to our consumer goods spending.
