So true. Australia has a Free Trade Agreement with the US signed in 2011 (I think?). And, America enjoys a trade deficit with us. We buy more of your shit than you buy from us. Still, Trump hit us with a 10% tariff for some goddamn reason. We've paid about a billion dollars on a down payment for Virginia Class Submarines that we will never, ever see.

It will be about a century before the world will trust the US again.

If there is one single thing that will doom this government, it is trying to ban porn.

Weird, but true.

Of course, spelling was never my strong suit.

I do appreciate being corrected. Thank you...

China will definitely suffer, but it also doesn't care. Public opinion supporting its actions are not a priority in China. Trump is starting to feel the bite his stupidity has taken him. Not sure if he understands completely, but he's getting an idea that he'll wear the blame. Not from the Maga, but from everyone else.

And you underestimate the disadvantage of an uninformed and disinterested electorate, a politically chosen Supreme Court and a political system co-opted to serve corporate interests.

Only if you take what I said very literally. The Chinese and the Russians are concluding, I'm sure you would agree.

I'm not sure your allegory is very apt.
