The US will skirt around/avoid UK tariffs for two reasons; Military and financial.

Military:
The Uk works very, very closely to the americans on foreign wars, so closely that we often get blown up by american bombs...but I digress. There's no point pissing off your closest military ally who also buys your jets (F35/JSF).

Financially:
The Uk is a tiny little island that can be traversed from one end to the other in 12 hours on a good run. With 65 million people, and counting, plonked upon this little country, it means distribution area:population density is the highest in the western hemisphere. We buy electronics - mostly yank-slop, at the fifth highest rate world-wide. Combine the two, and you can see why tariffing the UK would be like pissing in the wind with your mouth open.

There's a third reason to avoid UK tariffs and that's as a bargaining chip vs the EU. We still have a massive economy with the largest economic centre (London) in the world.

Mexico has bent the knee.
I posted a few pages back that Trump has put tariffs on Mexico and Canada because he wants something and this was him using leverage. That something turned out to be troops. 10,000 Mexican troops on their side may not sound a lot, but combined with the American troops it soon adds up.
On top of that, the mobilisation required to house and feed said troops on the border, means at least a semi-permanent encampment, meaning Trump only has to nudge a little bit more and voila, those 10,000 troops are engineers building a wall.

Yeah Ben, if we don’t make South America have enough drag queens, THAT will be why China beats us
It’s not the retarded drag queen stuff that is being cut. It’s the whole agency that Trump and Musk want to decimate. There are a lot of ongoing food and humanitarian aid operations that can’t do their work because of the freeze on all foreign aid. This will exacerbate active crises throughout the world.

This disruption harms the reputation of the US to uphold international development contracts. While the administration tries to contort USAID into something that aligns with their interests, China can come in and promise all sorts of construction projects that appear to be more stable than what the US offers.

They could have cleared out all of the woke shit without causing this mess.
 
But flying foreign flags and speaking foreign languages and maintaining loyalty to a foreign country should be ground for immediate deportation or imprisonment.
Anyone who thinks I'm an idiot for desiring a high-trust society, or who thinks they've tricked me when I share things with them, needs to be catapulted over the wall.
 
It's because they have no reason to antagonize you. YOU have no reason to antagonize them either, sans mental deficiencies that cloud your judgement. Mexico will inevitably look towards the two oceans and the promises they hold. You can fire a warning shot only once, you don't get a second chance.
The US has a very good reason to antagonise Mexico because Mexico refuses to deal with the Cartels that flood the us with drugs.

Bukele showed it’s possible they have no excuse.
 
Right on schedule, Redditors claiming the extension to the implementation of Mexico's Tariff was "for nothing" and that Trump "caved because of the market", seemingly ignoring the fact that the Tariffs are subject to implementation in a month if Mexico doesn't uphold their end of the deal.

He's getting exactly what he wanted, has a backup if they don't comply, and somehow that's an L?
 
See the problem here is that you're actually thinking about the issue rationally. If you're trying to understand the leftist mindset that's your first mistake.

You saw their "solution" during Biden's term. It's to just sit there with the border wide open. Every human being is completely the same no exceptions. The "right" and "compassionate" thing to do is to just let people do whatever they want. Who cares about that whole "permanent underclass" shit? Just feel good because a brown person is happy bigot.

The left mindset is rational. You like many conservatives and are stupid enough to take them at their word about their motivations and why they do things.

Once you realize that their morality and mindset is based on what is best for them (gives them the most power) and makes them feel the most good at any time, and that billions if not trillions of dollars has been spent to hack what makes them feel good (at least temporarily). Everything they do makes sense.

The leftist white male has been conditioned sense birth that racism bad, white people bad, we are all same race, dont say that, its racist. Some break out. Some dont. Breaking out hurts and is painful, so they do what "makes them feel good". Where the left's cultural control is breaking down is the carrots they used to give to make people go down their preferred paths are either rotten (modern media is so pozzed normies can tell now, but it was always pozzed sense the beginning) or now non existent. Star Wars having the good guys be the "multi cultural" force was subtle but less in your face, now its obvious with all white men bad, only colors and women can be heroes now. Its rotten. It used to be if you smiled and agreed with Mr Goldenstein about how being mean to niggers was bad you got a job, a house, and a family. Now the job is being given to a dirty jeet who is obviously making the world a worse place. So the men are breaking out. Even hispanic and black men are breaking out. Women still get carrots so they are still mostly aboard, but some of their carrots are going to trannies now, so now FINALLY they rebel too. Their cultural rot tolerance is much higher, but they never actually gave a fuck on if anything was good or not to begin with.

Conservative ideas are based on these objectives principals and ideas. Either lofty ideological ideals, or Theistic ones like "god said to do X or Y". Conservative thought is based on axioms that ground perception. Liberal thought is based on relatively and what is best for them or makes them feel good at the moment. Niggers didnt support Trump, but they sure as fuck stayed home. If Trump was a nigger, they would have turned out for him just like Obama. The decisions were purely transactional. The leaders in their community will never turn on Democrats, because Democratic power structures give them control over areas. If the only way a bunch of niggers could get control over a major metro area was go Republican, they would go Republican. This shit aint complicated. Its about power and the transaction of power. White liberals its really simple child fantasies of "if i had absolute power every bad thing would be punished, and the good would be rewarded". But because their morality is rooted on power and not axioms, good and bad are at best defined by the masses, and at worst have no definition at all.
 
Britain is irrelevant because it's not in the EU, true.


It's because they have no reason to antagonize you. YOU have no reason to antagonize them either, sans mental deficiencies that cloud your judgement. Mexico will inevitably look towards the two oceans and the promises they hold. You can fire a warning shot only once, you don't get a second chance.
Mexico is going to absorb massive shipping costs across tens of thousands of miles of oceans ezpz checkmate American pigdogs :smug:

Weak foreigners throwing tantrums will never not be funny
 
Go back to Reddit you servile nigger
The only servility I see is Americans presenting their lubed asses to Daddy Trump at every opportunity. Unprompted even. The entire nation is just bucks.

What promise? China has no military power projection whatsoever and Russia's military has been crippled by the Ukraine War. China's diversified economy only exists on paper while Russia does not have an advanced economy. If China and Russia want to violate the Monroe Doctrine, they are free to pay the price.
The Monroe doctrine no longer applies or matters. The rest is the usual nonsense. Nobody even spoke of war, only trade. It will flow around you, not towards you. I still see that Americans are unable to grasp the extent to which you are despised due to your actions and the effect they had on the world. Your influence is dead, gone. Trump killed it.
 
Oh no! Trump is a meany poo poo head! Politicians aren't trustworthy! And, rich people don't have the best interests of poor people at heart! Also, Trump should be nicer to those untrustworthy politicians!

Trump should stop all this winning! He might knock over an apple cart or spill some milk! That would be terrible! He should just do nothing! But also, Trump is an evil baddy because he isn't doing enough to fix problems and help people!

If private citizens want to donate their own money or volunteer to help people overseas that are in need I am fully supportive of that. I do not feel like unelected bureaucrats deserve to have the right to dump taxpayer dollars into whatever shithole they please in all corners of the world for whatever purpose (lets be clear most of which is money laundering). Until I see US cities, highways and roads "developed" I don't give a fuck about uganda being "developed". We've dumped untold treasure in every corner of the world to maintain our "empire" and have only managed to degrade as a society and build up unfathomable debt while losing industrial capacity and facing demographic death.
