I will not be as absolute as you are.
Trump is destroying US foreign policy.
Trump and his boys don’t only try to dictate the foreign policies of other states, but also the internal policies and the judiciary decisions.
They use the tarifs to extort money.
It works sometimes, as with UK and Europe.
The main result is distrust.
The past use of the IMF, WTO and WB were americas vehicles to get countries to do as they are told. Otherwise its regime change through another color revolution or it would be an outright invasion . These levers are not longer effective in todays world as countries move to new alliances , an independent foreign policy and an alternative finanical foreign payment arrangements
Do you think trump can stop the war based on his will alone? Did he select his cabinet or did other behind the scene actors who dictate foreign policy ?
Trump meeting in alaska with putin will be derailed by power that have a vested interest in continuing the war . A false flag with the help of CIA , MI6 , mossad etc
And what of europe? It has virtually hung itself in crumbling to the USA demands by accepting tariffs ,
Locking themselves into buying USA energy at 5 times the market price only to be told supply expectations is that they will be unreliable and then committed to spend at historical record amount of money on USA weaponry
Trump can sell this to the captains of these industries at home by saying look what i have done to help you guys.
Pretty sure you meant this rhetorically
But, you know the CIA head was one of those selected people? Your thread is a bit tangled
How does anyone not accept tariffs? Nations can’t change other nations internal policies without some force.
Not very sure only pretty
Selected by who ? A tangle
by not openly agreeing. US and Europe agree to 15% tariffs .
Do you have a point?
Why would you think Putin agreed to meet Trump in America when America has nothing to offer Russia to end the Ukraine war?
Many reasons. Here are some of them:
Trump and Putin want to conclude trade deals
Trump wants the cease fire he promised to his voters.
Putin wants to convince Trump to let him to take Ukraine.
You have pulled this out of thin air. Trump has made no mention on trade. In fact he said this meeting will not end with deal. Youre still in old world thinking that countries like russia need permission from the USA and from has been try hards Europe to pursue its national interests and security
The Ukrainian front has collapsed on multiple lines and russia is surging now more than ever. This is why the meeting has been set up in panic.
Putin welcomed to america on red carpet. Sergi Lavrov arrives wearing USSR t shirt. Love it!
Trump now to go to moscow for next meeting
As russia naysayers point to its economic woes , America is plunging into the depths of the 1930s. America’s ruling capitalists have been plotting for these new constraints on labor and other workers for the past 85 years. The same conditions which caused American workers to abandon the economy in 1930 are once again becoming evident. Today’s lords of capital have already prepared for this eventuality and will unleash a form of oppression only the slaves experienced in America’s history to prevent the organizing and revolutionary response to remove capital from absolute power. The current degradation of the American political economy is unbelievable considering how advanced it was 50 years ago, proving how effective the new techniques of subjectivity have become.
Do you mean unemployment?
What do you mean?
Is this an honest question? It deals with the heart of what is being conveyed how.
Yes. It’s a real question. I’ve never heard anyone say that workers abandoned the economy in the 30s. How were they able to make that choice? What do you mean?
I agree with the question.
In my mind, the economy abandoned the workers, letting them out of work.
Pay attention. I asked if it was an honest question because you would rather put all your efforts in a disagreement with terminology rather than a conversation about the health of the economy.
Many Workers abandoned the economy through suicide or gave up looking for work by relying on govt help or charity.
I would not say a man who commits suicide is abandoning economy, it seems to me very callous. He is abandoning life !!!
And people did not gave up looking for work because they were abandoning economy, they gave up looking for work because there was no work any more !!!
And the matter was compounded by the closure of many peasants
I can’t pay attention if you use words in a way that don’t make sense. This is not about semantics, it’s about you being clear. If you don’t know “workers abandoning the economy” doesn’t translate into suicide rates by people who are hopeless, then it’s very hard to have a normal conversation. Then, instead of simply answering my question, a question about clarifying yourself, you make assumptions about my motivations.
This is trolling 101. You have been doing it since you got here. Either you are young and don’t have a good sense of history or some kind of distorted vocabulary, or English is not your first language. Language doesn’t seem to be the problem since you are not making grammatical errors, you are coming up with odd concepts. That’s the best I can do for you right now, give you the benefit of the doubt. But that almost never works out. I’ve been doing this for years and maybe two people have changed their approach to this forum (after warnings)
According to you. You going to keep lecturing me?
Well, I’m the one who was asking. I didn’t think it was necessary to add “for me” in this case. If you have a reference showing your definition of those words, then I will stand corrected.
And yes, it’s literally my job description to lecture you. We have guidelines here. At this point, it’s looking like this forum could become unmoderated, by default. CFI doesn’t share their plans with me. Meanwhile, I’m the lecturer. A couple of people tried complaining to the staff, the paid staff. They didn’t get anywhere.
