  1. They think they can simply poach them from India. Or, without any shame or introspection, China.

  2. Exactly! The United States wants to hurt Europe and others and make them dependent on on itself as much as possible.

  3. And the stealing of others resources (Syria, Venezuela) and unfair trade practices against the competition (Russia, China.

  4. ​ @GoodCitizen1300 Because it doesn't need to: the island of Taiwan is already acknowledged by the international community as being the sovereign territory of the PRC.

  5. No, he's listening to his planners in the deep state. There is method behind the madness of all these apparently crazy ideas. I know leaders can be stupid but not this stupid.

  6. ​ @ZhenYae  like Trump @justiceofthecross didn't think his comment through before typing. 😅 He thinks the USA can just create whole supply chains, hi-tech factories and a workforce of experienced, highly educated and well trained employees to run them out of thin air. 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♀️

  7. The government of the United States doesn't care as it has already decided what fiscal changes are going to occur in the not too distant future.

  8. Than have it confiscated by the state. Bail ins AND bail outs. The governments and banks of the West have already prepped for this and the private banking cartels intend to steal your money.

  9. Because they're hypocrites and gas lighting the Chinese.

  10. It stood up to the USA and its colony Israel.

  11. China is nominally communist so why would it care about the owners of what amounts to de facto private property if such ownership undermines the state? Let them take a 'haircut'.

  12. The USA wants a replay of the cold war. Back then it pretty much managed to isolate the whole of the communist bloc from world trade, especially with western Europe, with the USA having the West all to itself. Things have changed since then, however, and the Chinese and Russians will no longer allow the United States to cut them off from the world again. They have opened up and shown the world what the USA had previously kept from them: that an open world is more prosperous than one that is closed.

  13. The USA now seems to be in the same position as Britain in the 1820's. Back then Britain wanted porcelain, tea and silk from China but they wanted nothing in return except silver. The British had nothing else the Chinese wanted and were going bankrupt. They solved the problem with classic gun boat diplomacy, the so‐called Opium Wars. The rest is history. This marks the beginning of what the Chinese call their Century of Humiliation. I wonder what démarche the USA will take to cut this proverbial Guardian Knot. The British used the barrel of a gun but this time around I don't think that is an option.

  14. So am I to understand that price controls never work and should under no circumstances be tried; that the invisible hand of the market, akin to a law of nature, should just be allowed to play out even to the point where prices have risen to the point where large numbers of the population are starving or chronically malnourished? Sounds just like what a fascist junta would do.

  15. That's why the financial elites of the USA are hellbent on disrupting and monopolising international trade between Europe, the Americas and Asia, a strategy that involves the creation of a BIS/Federal Reserve/EU central bank CBDC to be used in trade between the USA and Europe, as well as the cutting off and corralling of Europe from Asia and from Russia and China in particular à la cold war.

  16. Spot on! Cogent! 🫡

  17. The neo-liberal/neo-classical theory of western economics doesn't allow for a true understanding of how a real, properly run economy works. It's an economic theory designed by and for rentiers and as such blindsides economists with an ideology masquerading as scientific truth. It's an apologia for the parasite class, the bankers. China's economy, on the other hand, is largely grounded in reality. That's why China is succeeding where the USA is failing.

  18. Wake up! It's capitalism that's causing these crises. Communism has nothing to do with it. And if the system collapses (which is what all ponzi schemes and fiat currencies do) the rich certainly won't be sharing their wealth with the rest of us, you can be sure of that.

  19. A fortiori the countries of the European Union.

  20. Officially Biden, unofficially Blinken. Together with a sort of regency council acting as the real power behind the president during his, shall we say, incapacity.

  21. ​​ @SUHSeungJi Doesn't the USA have gold though, albeit not enough to pay the multi-trillion dollar debt? Can't it back up its fiat currency with gold and turn it into a non-fiat currency, if only to a limited extent?

  22. And if the USA gets hyper-inflation or goes bankrupt the government will probably seize their assets with bail-ins and gold/silver confiscations/forced selling. The government and business could very probably seize the funds from which pensions are paid.

  23. The USA is trying to damage Europe and create a situation similar to the 1950's where the USA had most of the technology, funds and industry that Europe lacked.
