I would have never thought I would say this sentence, but as opposed to the USA - China is a reliable partner.

More importantly here than being "dead in 10 years" is "breaking his word and contracts within weeks anyway"...

It's the choice between American or Chinese hegemony. For traditional reasons, the EU could be inclined to choose the USA.

I dunno man, saluting to your flag each and every day, flying it high... I think it messes with your head and it results in you being proud of how your country currently is.

Nah patriotism is fine, its the 'I want to make my country better' attitude, nationalism is the 'my country is already the best' one.

Rebuild the educational system to equip people with the skills needed to see past nationalism, racism and bigotry. (Long fucking road)

Don't forget Patriotism.

I love this comic.


2-3 decades isn't enough to be honest.

As an American we need time to:

• Suffer pain enough so that across the country a full purge of MAGA is conducted

• The current apathetic Democratic leadership who keeps giving pathetic candidates is replaced

• Rebuild the educational system to equip people with the skills needed to see past nationalism, racism and bigotry. (Long fucking road)

• Let all the current generations die out, if you've voted Trump 2 to 3 times, there is no hope for you. Ever.

Logic correct: “Donald Trump’s administration” isn’t a substitution for “Chinese economy”.

Chinese bureaucracy appears to be stable and consistent when adhering to policy over the span of decades.

Trump's administration appears incapable of setting a policy that survives a holiday weekend.

What's crazy is that the domestic business community and their pets in the national legislature are content to let Trump run a wrecking ball through the last 80 years of delicately assembled and refined trading partnerships. America truly is a madhouse.

We should start making a list of really important USA exports (I bet that list won’t be long) and search for alternatives.

Lot of that already happening at the multi-national level. We're seeing a real bifrication of supply chains as the US grows openly hostile towards international trade. And Chinese business leaders seem eager to fill the gap.

However long it takes, sure, but rather not decades if you ask me.

That's the correct choice.

Granted, China cannot be trusted. But China cannot be trusted in the same sense that a used car salesman cannot be trusted. The US, by contrast, cannot be trusted in the same sense that a rabid weasel cannot be trusted.

Logic correct: "Donald Trump’s administration" isn't a substitution for "Chinese economy".

>White House has asked

We should start making a list of really important USA exports (I bet that list won't be long) and search for alternatives. The USA needs some time alone. 2-3 decades. To contemplate. And think.

Of course not, to even entertain this idea is ridiculous.

An EU-China summit will be held in July, both sides announced.

Don't know why, but this feels hype.

At this point, it feels like anyone who gives up something of value for a deal with this administration is just cruisin' for a bruisin'.

Why would they give up the world's largest manufacturer to make a malignant narcissist who's gonna be dead in 10 years happy?

Good. They're both shit, but China might actually be slightly ahead in terms of being a desirable partner right now, and completely cutting off one to slightly improve relations with the other is a booby prize under *any* circumstances.

Interesting political maneuver since the EU already is on track of decoupling from China. It‘s important we do it on our own terms so I‘m not against this. That being said the thumbnail seems very misleading or at least I hope so.
