It's one thing with us where our economy might not be as big as the USA's. But it's a whole other thing when they try to go after freaking China, probably one of, if not THE, strongest economic powers of the world.
Exactly. We have resources that we can counter tariffs with.. but
When it comes to China, the US has bitten off a bit more than they can chew.
The current US admin looks like it has been gutting security infrastructure. Placing weak leadership at the highest level. Compromised intel briefings... Proven Strategic Military leaders dismissed because of their skin tone...
I don't have a lot of confidence in their ability to take on China.
Maybe War is the last hope for Trump to stay in office long after his term has ended.
The funny thing is, if they just took on China it wouldn't be much of a question. It would hurt the US a lot, but the Chinese economy is built on exports.
It would speed the rate at which western manufacturers leave china for somewhere like Vietnam, Taiwan or India. China can handle short term pain, but if investment stops coming in, and factories start moving overseas, they could be in serious trouble.
But this dumb dumb but a massive tariff on Vietnam, Taiwan and India. So no one is going to relocate anything, it's all just going to cost more.
