Free Trade - Trump Style

Post by Zlaxer » Wed Jan 25, 2017 5:33 am

What leverage does Mexico have? None come to mind, but then again I'm not an expert on Mexico's economy. Seems like the Mexican President is huffing and puffing because he's got a shitty hand. Thoughts?

@Smitty - Don't fret - I'm researching Chinese Steel this weekend.

I'm all for working with Mexico, but not by gutting the US middle class to benefit the 0.1% by subsidizing the bottom 70% with state wellfare so they can purchase cheap foreign goods.

I'd love to see the US Mil pulled out of the Middle East and refocused on stabilizing Mexico and South America...We're pretty dam good at wiping out insurgencies.....the Cartels are no different....crush them and South America Stabilizes, which leads to less illegal immigrants pouring into the US....not only that, but richer neighbors tends to make you richer as well.

We've been fighting the Taliban for fifteen years, yet Afghanistan is one of world's top opiate producers. :think:

That's because US Troops have been guarding the fields...look that one up. Don't kid yourself - the US is dam good at making life miserable for insurgents - and we're barley devoting any serious amount of mil resources at the problem. The intelligence and drone strikes have kept them in check - Islamic recruiting is the reasons the insurgents are able to replenish their numbers (US doesn't have the political will to start bombing known recruitment centers).....to kill the Cartel's: 1- legalize drugs; and 2) treat the cartels like durka-durks.

FYI, direct conflict with the cartels will result in terrorism across CONUS.

We are not sending troops south of the border to fight cartels so the corrupt governments can stab us in the back.

^^^ It would be a bloodbath across CONUS like the 99% hasn't even dreamed about. The totalitarianism of the US police state would move towards, well, you know, totality.

End prohibition, end the WOD. End the WOT. Put our swinging dick back in our pants. Tell the 0.1 % and their puppet Emperors to get fucking real jobs.

5 step plan to Make America the Fucking Greatest

1. Execute the banksters. Every last one, along with all their heirs. Got to end the plutocracy, full stop.

2. Close the borders. No more Mexican gangbangers or Canadian pop singers or store-brand jihadiis shooting up gay bars.

3. NATO can defend itself.
3.a. Same with Japan and Korea.
3.b. And Israel too (you have nukes, stop being pussies).

4. 100% tariffs on imports. You want to sell here, make here or go fuck yourself.

5. Shut down every federal agency that didn't exist in 1900. Including the the federal reserve. I'm flexible on whether we execute the former heads of those agencies and all their relatives to 3 degrees of consanguinuity or just execute the former heads and leave their families alone.
Still got my foreskin thanks for asking. - Montegriffo.
