    So not only did trumps stupid fantasy rants piss off our one of our two closest neighbors and centuries old friend, its now cost the USA multiple billions of dollars in business. For what? We gained nothing and lost so much.

      Yes, this is the art of the Trump deal. We all lose, but he, the billionaire, wins. Fuck the poor, he will gain despite them dying. This is America in 2025.

        Thats the thing on this one. No billionaires are even winning with this. Many multi-millionaries or close to billionaires are losing on this too. I could understand (but be angry) if this was more billionaire grift, but no one wins from this except possibly the EU defense industry.

      Yes the Trump is made of Trump.

      But maybe we can hope this will make the MIC unsustainable and America will no longer be known for being the largest boot that can be put in someone’s ass

        The US could take over Canada in an afternoon. But the ensuing guerrilla insurgency would be unlike anything the US has ever experienced.
