I don't see it that way. Taiwan is more trouble than it's worth and reshoring chip production is a strategic move - we get far less out of Taiwan than we put in compared to Europe. It's also significantly more expensive to do green energy boondoggles with European companies and get minerals from foreign countries than it is to reshore energy and mineral production in the US. These are separate subjects that have little to do with US commitments to NATO.

I think most European countries will fall in line. Maybe the Germans will roll their eyes and dismiss the US, but I do not see the United Kingdom abandoning its special relationship with the US so that Scottish communists can arrest old ladies for praying in their homes. Poland and Estonia do not want to lose US security guarantees. Furthermore, the US has no reason to abandon NATO since, for the past almost-76 years, it has brought a great deal of diplomatic influence. Military power is still fungible.

We can agree to disagree. I am calling it usa is going back to being regional power and leaving both Japan/ Taiwan and EU to fuck themselves. Those things you mentioned they are already building shitton of factories in Mexico and when they are done backbreaking Canada there will be factories in there for that.

Northern Virginia is a beautiful place with large houses on large lots nestled inside of forests. If you want a vacation home, now’s the perfect time to buy one for rock bottom prices!

Obviously, don’t pay the overly optimistic asking prices in the picture. Take a look at Detroit for comps.

I was thinking about what to write regarding those bitching that Trump not following procedures means that USAID gets funding back.

All I can say is seethe.

What did you think was going to happen when you push through a radical change and disrupt ongoing projects? If a business cut contracts without having a reason or a clause, they get sued for breach of contract.

Yah, but by your own admission, you assume that the government doesn't have any good reason to exit the contracts. Which is a retarded opinion to have but ok sure.

"A contract can be invalid if it calls for an illegal act, or was entered into fraudulently, or by mistake, or by someone who lacks mental capacity, or is a minor."
Quoted text

Your argument would require that all of these contracts be air tight and contain none of the above defects or deficiencies and that the funds from or for these contracts are being used as written (note that I did not say as intended) and not just misused or embezzled (I'll give you a hint, it is). So while I'll let you have your retarded opinion, because your entitled to it. I'm going to say that you are factually wrong and probably retarded.

If the left were organized they'd be moving the swamp creatures to swing states. 20-50k would flip a state blue to the point that no amount of electioneering would undo it.

I'm guessing however this is just them desperately trying to get out of some real shit mortgages and overpriced homes before the axe falls. It has finally sunk in to them, the redditor idiots be damned: There is no one coming to save them. It's Trump's world now.

Taiwan's value to the US is ensuring that China does not have TSMC's manufacturing processes. We won't stop funding Taiwan's defense as long as TSMC can produce the latest chip silicon in Taiwan.

TLDR: so faggot who got fired by Trump dug up some crusty old ruling and the lefty judge in DC said OK you bet! Let's put a restraining order on Trump now to stop him. Then Trump's new AG said lol fuck no, that ruling is stupid and old as fuck so we are going to bring it to the SCotUS for a final ruling.

warning much heavy legalese inside but if you want an actual detail breakdown this faggot does that.

I don't know the judiciary too well. How long will it take before it actually goes to the Supreme Court?
