Not even Canadians like Tim Hortons. It used to mean good coffee and fresh baked donuts and little kids learning to play hockey, nowadays it is literally none of that and it does generic flatbread pizza that people like to themselves about how good it is.
Is it donut pizza, or like, normal flatbread pizza? 'cause the first one sounds kinda dope, in a novelty food sorta way.

@Magnitude2717 All of that and you didn't even answer my question. Shut up then. These same countries literally mock our leaders to our face already and you're saying "omg dont shit on our allies." They never stopped shitting on us my entire life so I'm hardly sympathetic, especially if Trump is gunning to remove or reduce income tax. I understand the US strategy of being the big dick and thus enabling the world economy and this is not ending that. If our "allies" buddy up with China over this then they're not allies, their leaders are mercenaries.

The tariffs aren't permanent in case you forgot. https://www.whitehouse.gov/fact-she...iffs-on-imports-from-canada-mexico-and-china/
 
Canada has incredible tariffs on us that directly impact states close to the border to stop their products from effectively being sold in Canada. Why would they do that is they are an "ally"? They have almost double the tariffs we do if you were to total everything up by volume of goods exchanged and we lose billions every year to them this way.

Hell Canada has fucking barriers to trade between their own provinces which makes no fucking sense except if you realize they are a glass house that could break at any time if actual free trade was allowed.
 
I would say we are lucky to live in NA instead of Europe where we're surrounded by 30 retard states but regardless, the diplomatic world is brutal and relies on realpolitik. I'll try not to get into whos wrong or right but the Russians have been balls deep in Ukraine for about 3 years (as of this month) and both sides have lost hundreds of thousands of men over land grab/political spergouts. As we have the strongest nation in the world, the only country that we would consider a threat is China, and with NATO it'll turn into a near-equal fight into a skullfucking. With this deterrent, countries like Taiwan who hold resources precious to us (like their hordes of chip factories) are safe, resulting in cheaper/better availability of goods, as countries know that if they intervene, they'll either get a protracted land war as we drip feed advanced weapon systems into their victim or an instant skullfuck horde of f35s, space-to-ground weapons and other such SAP capabilities nobody knows about.
Europe is getting more retarded and weaker by the second with their dumbfuck politics about environmentalism and migration. They are not big deterrents to anyone, really.

China and Russia are problems for the EU as well but, despite being closer, they give barely any shit about countries like Taiwan or Ukraine compared to the US. The purpose of the tariffs, among other things, is mainly to get them to pay up their fair share, one way or another.
 
I'm looking forward to this next bit.
Earlier I looked up a list of major countries with tariffs against the US. The most obvious (Canada,Mexico and China) were the first 3 becauseof recent news. But the EU,India,Brazil and Russia were also on the list with special mentions to South Korea and Japan. On mobile right now, try to post the list later. EU is gonna get the next round of tariffs but I'll also add on that India is also gonna the belt from Don
 
I'm American. Pissing off all our allies and trying to ruin any power we have is retarded. We are literally the worlds superpower, not including NATO or our SE Asian allies and Trump wants to throw that all away because hes retarded.

When China spergs out over Taiwan and we go in there, if we keep up what we're doing now we will fight that battle alone and it will be a battle on the scale of the beginning of the war in the Pacific, where we are outmatched, fighting on enemy territory and the only thing that would save us is superior leadership, which Trump is not.
Nigger cattle doesn't need to speak
 
Is anyone else watching this protest in Houston?
Smelly spics waving the flag of Mexico and Palestine(lol), doing nothing but screeching about fascism, owning this country and how much they hate white people. Nothing but good publicity for ICE when they finally deport these leeches. Who wants them here, aside from democrats who are losing political power and public support?
This is the best thing that could have happened right now, regarding to immigration.
 
According to globalfirepower.com 5 out of the 10 strongest countries (USA, UK, France, Italy, Turkey) are NATO and 2 of them are SE Asian allies. (SK, Japan) The only other nations on this list are Russia, China and India. You are thinking that nations 1/5 of our size need to have our strength military which is not possible. Both of us speak from a position of privilege from living in the strongest and wealthiest nation in the world and you should realize that they aren't as powerful as us. The oil debacle is retarded though.

You're literally using that idiocracy scene on me and don't even realize it, telling me that I talk like a fag. Its a good thing that you're not in any position of power.
I'm sure you do more than just talk like a fag at this point.
