    I need the xhs analysis on this. The only reason I can think of for this is that the American ruling class is simply not very bright.

      It’s honestly bewildering why anybody would think this is a good idea, yet here we are.

    It’s been hilarious seeing European libs say that the EU should copy China’s strategy of reciprocating and ignoring Trump until he caves, truly believing that they have anywhere near the leverage or spine that China has. che-laugh

      It’s even more hilarious: they know China is producing everything they use but still think EU is some kind of economic powerhouse instead of parasite renter economy it is.

          There is a word game in Polish about gliders being made from glass (szybowiec/szyba) and tank tracks from caterpillars (gąsienica) and this is how out military industry looks.

              I can even see why, considering British tank engineering history.

    Do it coward. Seriously, please do it. This might bomb Ireland’s economy but it’s probably the quickest way to get American corporations out of the country, short of revolution
