I didn't say defederated, I said blocked.

Yup, ml is a shithole that's blocked by half the fediverse. Just block them and move on.

Just because you put kill switches in the ones you sell, doesn't mean you've got to put them in your own.

But yeah, being able to remotely kill a fighter jet is incredibly stupid.

Always good to close the barn doors after all the horses have run away...

You don't even have to go find him, the swastitruck will burn itself up and take him out soon enough.

Because it's not all of America that we're against; it's the current administration and it's supporters. It's better to keep the citizens on our side, sympathetic to our problems. Especially when this administration fails and America gets around to rebuilding.

It also looks good from other nations to see we aren't being unreasonable or cruel, just standing up for ourselves. That will help when it comes to building relationships with those other nations and allow us to strengthen trade elsewhere.

Be the bigger person. It pays off in ways that aren't always obvious.

Finally, the presidents of both countries agreed to conclude a comprehensive agreement as soon as possible for the development of Ukraine's critical mineral resources to strengthen Ukraine's economy and ensure long-term prosperity and security for Ukraine.

:/

I hope Ukraine isn't forced to give up too much. Not happy to see this part going forward at all.

Probably; but it's a show of good faith that we are actually willing to come to an agreement, and it's also more opportunity for the US to hang itself on the public stage.

We'll give you the rope; we'd rather you made a bow with it, but if you want to make a noose that's your choice.

Looking at a few sources, I'm not entirely sure tbh.

Even so; I don't mind showing a bit of restraint given an opportunity to negotiate an agreement. Helps demonstrate that it's not the citizens of those states we're upset with; they're just caught in the crossfire between us and Washington.

We can always put the tariffs back, and in the meantime we can continue to expand into other markets and strengthen relationships with other nations.

The US agreed to actually discuss the situation and potentially come to an agreement. Because of that upcoming discussion we'll delay ~~adding an additional 25% (though~~ the original 25% ~~will remain in place~~ for now). Should that discussion not go well, we'll just continue with the plan to impose more tariffs.

Sounds reasonable to me. None of us want this trade war. If you're willing to negotiate an end, we'll hear you out. That doesn't mean we're going to back down.

Sure, but the person selling doesn't want it anymore and gets their money back. While at the same time; the person buying would have bought one anyway, potentially a brand new one. By selling your tesla to another driver, you're bailing yourself out of a shit decision and taking one less buyer off the market further disrupting the companies income.

Every tesla bought off the used market is one less tesla purchased new, and Tesla the company only makes money off of new sales.
