You're so focused on Putin that you can't even see the obvious- Putin is -not- the most hawkish Russian politician, far from it. He's a centrist, which is why he tried to make a peace deal with the Trump Administration despite the fact that the terms Trump was offering were nowhere near what Russia has been demanding for quite some time now- I suspect Putin's idea is that you have to start somewhere.



For every Russian killed, around 10 Ukrainians are killed. An article that gets into that:

https://sonar21.com/debunking-the-ukrainian-claim-about-russian-casualties/

Now, when you combine that with the fact that Russia has almost 4 times as many people, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see how this war is going to go, barring a nuclear escalation with western powers. Even then, Ukraine government wouldn't -win-, it's just that they wouldn't be the only ones to lose.

Those same things hold true, or nearly true, for Estonia, Latvia, Norway, Finland...and so many more. Using your reasoning...we should just turn the world over to Russia?

 

[Ross Dolan]

Please try to understand the following, it might save you embarrassment in the future.

Again, I'll point out the obvious, when you buy American, tariffs aren't an issue. And only a complete dimwit would argue against reciprocal tariffs, as Trump rightly demands. If other countries slap us with high tariffs, why shouldn't we return the favor? It's called fairness, look it up. That said, I know you're just parroting the narrative like a good drone so I'll aim at all libtards, not just a soldier like you.

So, let's address the brilliance of the libtard mind. They've suddenly become economic scholars, preaching that consumers bear the full brunt of tariffs. (Spoiler: it's not that simple, but we'll dumb it down for the dumbasses for now) Yet these same masterminds cheer for hiking corporate taxes without a hint of irony. Newsflash: corporate taxes are always passed on to consumers. There's no mythical Mr. Corporate footing the bill, every penny of those taxes gets baked into higher prices. But somehow, that's fine with the left. Consistency isn't their strong suit.

Here's where tariffs and corporate taxes part ways, pay attention, because this is where it gets good. Corporate taxes are a direct hit: companies raise prices to cover the cost, no questions asked. It's simple math, even for those who flunked econ.

Tariffs, however, are a different beast. When a foreign company faces a new tariff, they've got choices. Is their widget exclusive to their country, or can it be sourced elsewhere with a lower tariff? Better yet, is there an American producer ready to step in with zero tariff? Depending on the answers, that foreign company might have to eat the tariff to stay competitive, meaning little to no price hike for consumers. In some cases, they'll slash their profit margins just to keep a foothold in the world's greatest market, ours.

And here's the kicker, if the widget isn't made here yet, foreign companies still have to tread carefully. Jack up prices too much, and an American company might start producing it, snatching that market share for good. That's why foreign suppliers are scrambling to cut deals and avoid losing their slice of the American pie.

So, dear libtard, care to explain why you're suddenly tax experts when it suits your narrative? Maybe take a break from the sanctimonious lectures and grasp the difference between tariffs and corporate taxes. Or is that too much for your enlightened minds to handle? That's a rhetorical question, we all know the answer.

Keep on supporting the horseshit Trump is selling you, Toby.

Be like the Germans of the mid-20th century. They knew they were supporting something that would make Germany Great Again. They used brown shirts rather than red hats, but...whatever.

What the hell...it worked for them.

I'm sick of libtards whining about this so I might get a bit winded trying to address all of the dumbass shit you said and the replies I can already see coming.

Let's unpack this bullshit, shall we? You claim exporting countries won't pay Trump's tariffs and that they'll just pass the cost to U.S. consumers like it's a universal law of physics. Again, it's not that simple. As I already explained tariffs aren't a straight line to price hikes, and only a fool would think so. Foreign companies don't just get to slap on a 25%, 50%, or, gasp, 3251% tariff (nice made-up number, by the way, care to cite a source, or is that just your keyboard having a seizure?) and call it a day. They've got to COMPETE. If their widget's price skyrockets, they risk losing market share to countries with lower tariffs or, better yet, American producers with zero tariffs. Ever heard of supply and demand?

Let's talk about those ridiculous tariffs. High tariffs force foreign companies to make a choice: eat the cost to stay competitive or lose the U.S. market, the biggest, juiciest market in the world. Many will cut their profit margins rather than price themselves out. And if they don't? American companies step in, produce the goods here, and create jobs while foreign suppliers cry. (seems like I just explained this too) Solar panels at 3251%? Cute hyperbole, but even high tariffs on specific goods like solar panels incentivize domestic production. Look at China's dumping tactics, they flood markets with cheap goods to kill competition. Tariffs level the playing field. Or do you prefer bending over for Beijing? (I know you do, again, a rhetorical question)

Your reasonable 5-10% tariffs sound adorable, like something a toddler would suggest after watching a Sesame Street episode on economics. Reciprocal tariffs, as Trump pushes, match what other countries already charge us. Why should we play nice while they gouge us? That's not fairness, it's surrender. And your whining about jittery markets and retailers' confusion? Boo-hoo. Markets adapt. Retailers pivot. They're not sitting in a corner sucking their thumbs, they're strategizing. If anything, uncertainty comes from decades of spineless trade policies that let foreign countries fleece us while leftists clapped like trained seals. (it's amazing how concerned libtards are about wealthy investors unable to read the markets, working people are in mutual funds and in it for the long haul, these ups and downs will have zero impact on them)

As for your recession/depression hysteria, take a deep breath and put down the Kool-Aid. You'd think you would have learned how stupid you sound by now after earlier predictions have all fallen flat as any of us with a brain knew they would, yet you're just repeating the same shit again, LOL

Tariffs protect American industries and jobs, which strengthens the economy. History backs this up, targeted tariffs under Reagan and even earlier administrations predictably boosted domestic growth without crashing the market. Compare that to the left's obsession with corporate tax hikes, which, again, always hit consumers directly, yet you're silent on that. Funny how your outrage only kicks in when Trump's name is mentioned.

So, wake up, you sanctimonious libtard drones. Your apocalyptic fairytale doesn't hold up. Trump's tariffs are about leverage, not reckless destruction, they're about making fair deals, there's nothing difficult to understand and agree with if you're on the A-Team. I just made that up, The American Team, The A-Team! I love it. Mr. T asks you, are you on the A-Team? Ah....no, you're not and that's it in a nutshell.

You are so easily tricked. Why are you so naive?

 

[Tobytone]

You see, this might be true, but Trump (during the campaign) stated emphatically that the American consumer would not pay the tax.

Are you now admitting he was lying to get elected?

You're full of shit. Trump supporters knew exactly how tariffs would play out when he delivered on his promises. Trump never said tariffs wouldn't potentially increase prices on some things, you clueless drone. Show me the quote, or maybe stop regurgitating Democrat bullshit like a loyal drone? Go ahead, dig it up. LOL

The goal is reciprocal tariffs.

What could be more fair than that?

Reciprocal tariffs and Trumps entire belief in tariffs are a function of his stupidity.

The US has a trade surplus with the UK and yet Trump tariffed them. Why? Why should US citizens be required to buy more UK stuff simply because UK citizens like to buy US stuff?

If i want to buy something from you, i do. You should not be forced to buy from me.

If i don't like you do not buy me from more then i can refuse to sell you more. That is called cutting off my nose to spite my face but the US has all the control to never have a trade surplus with anyone and Tariffs are needed for that. Just stop selling them stuff and make your companies more poor.

Keep on supporting the horseshit Trump is selling you, Toby.

Be like the Germans of the mid-20th century. They knew they were supporting something that would make Germany Great Again. They used brown shirts rather than red hats, but...whatever.

What the hell...it worked for them.

Oh, look, it’s Rossy swinging for the fences with a tired Godwin's Law jab. Comparing Trump's tariffs to Nazi Germany? That's the best you've got, you historically illiterate dumbass?

First, your horseshit claim about Trump's tariffs shows you didn't read a word I wrote. I’ll let you try again rather than explaining it all again just for the slowest student in the class. I’ll just move on to the rest of your idiocy.

For example, your Nazi comparison is beyond desperate, it's straight-up ‘Rossy the Biden’ (I think that’s my new name for you, it just fits for some reason) It means that your analogy reflects your declining comprehension, it makes no sense at all, like a Biden sentence or ‘thought’ LOL You’ve become a babbling old geezer that’s desperately hoping something you say will hit the mark. ROFL

Trump's pushing economic leverage to protect American workers, not goose-stepping into authoritarianism. The Germans of the mid-20th century? They were brainwashed into a genocidal regime, not rallying for fair trade deals. Your analogy isn't just lazy, it's an insult to anyone with a functioning brain. Red hats versus brown shirts? What's next, are you going to compare MAGA rallies to the Nuremberg Laws? Get a grip, you sanctimonious brain-dead old geezer. Try bowing out with a little grace and a speck of respect.

Once more, tariffs are about making America's economy stronger, not burning it down. Foreign suppliers are already scrambling to cut deals to keep their slice of our market, because it's the best one in the world. This is reality, not me following some talking points like you dumbasses do before you dare to open your mouths.

Meanwhile, you're crying about horseshit while doing your best to come up with analogies that might get an applause in your group therapy meetings or by some of the other drones on this forum, but really, they betray your senile brain.

 

[Tobytone]

You are so easily tricked. Why are you so naive?

Excellent reply, LOL It's not tricked, it common sense. Those of us not addicted to libtard dope understand it quite easily. The question is how can you let yourself be so easily exploited?

Holy shit. I didn't think I would get to you so easily...and so forcefully. Ya can't show us that you are so easily rattled. There are people here who will use that to (rhetorically) kick your ass from every angle. Keep your cool.

Anyway...YEAH, red hats and brown shirts have a reasonable comparative value...just as Trump and Hitler do. But Trump is not nearly as smart as was Hitler...who not only was able to read, he was able to actually write a book. Trump needed ghost writers to do that. By the way, Godwin has gone out of his way to declare that a comparison of Trump to Hitler does not violate his law, because Trump is borrowing so heavily from Hitler in how he is managing his attempts to become dictator.

And your notion that tariffs make America's economy stronger is laughable...especially when handled (extra Constitutionally) by the moron Trump. What he is doing is causing chaos...which almost never has a positive impact on an economy.

Do come back at me. I enjoy laughing at your attempts at intellectualism.

This is great.

Poor Jarod, you fell for Yahoo News’ clickbait trap again, gobbling up their anti-Trump bullshit like it’s your job. They’re pros at dishing out garbage to rake in ad bucks from suckers like you who never question it. I’ve been trying to wake you libtards up to this for ages. Still waiting.

I’m stuck between dropping truth on those solar panel tariffs or letting you drown in your own cluelessness. What’s more fun: watching you strut around like you get it, or smacking you down right here? Hard call.

I think I'll go with telling you to drop the Yahoo worship and find the truth yourself, it's really quite easy. Hint: Avoid Yahoo News and The Independent and The NYT's for starters, just look for "Solar panel tariffs, why some high and some low?' It might help.

For now, to anyone thinking solar panels: don’t buy Jarod’s dumbass predictable fearmongering. Plenty of panels out there won’t break the bank. Don’t let his clickbait scare you off a buy if it makes sense for you. You wouldn't want to buy from the companies that Jarod is referring to anyways.

Oh, you doddering old coot, LOL. You’re like a broken record. You probably don’t remember thinking the same thing the last time the nurse let you use the computer. You think your pathetic typing tantrums get me rattled? Your posts are just a sad rehash of libtard drivel, scraped from the bottom of the internet’s dumbest corners.

You’re flopping around like a washed-up geezer who thinks his word vomit’s got me shook, LOL. Newsflash, I’m not exactly known for short replies, like it or not. You’re just boring. I can’t get triggered from a boring old dumbass libtard, seriously think about it. I’ve torched the only thing you’ve offered, everything else is just drivel as usual.

This reply for example? Just you wheezing out the same tired insults like a broken-down drone with no juice left, ‘Ross the Biden’ strikes again. The one-trick fossil with nothing fresh to say. You’re the dullest tool in this shed, you’re embarrassing yourself. ROFL
