It’s TACO Time For Greenland After Trump Flops At Davos

[Bitterhook]

On the contrary, my expectations are being confirmed.

They are being confirmed, and you just haven't figured how ******* useless they are yet.

 

[Mac1958]

Ray Dalio predicted the demise of the US as the dominant world economic power in his book from a few years ago. Dear Leader is hastening the demise.

Macroeconomics is one of the most destructive ways that partisan political ideology can damage a country. It requires pragmatism, balance and intellectual honesty.

 

[Godboy]

During the Cold War, the U.S. had 17 bases in Greenland
We cut it down to just one

Trump could have gotten those back any time he wanted

What the hell makes you think THAT? He had to bluff a war in order to get bases.

Mineral rights have always been available to those who want to pay the price

Thats not what the Washington Post said. They didnt say "he gets access to minerals rights that everyone already has access to".

 

[berg80]

Thats a good first step towards serfdom

Your hero is hastening the demise of the country. You might want to pull your head out of your ass long enough to notice.

The reverse is happening that why Europe is in a state of confusion. America is still the worlds greatest economic power and Europe is in decline caused by 30% budget spent on social welfare programs renewable energy destroying their economy and immigration destroying their culture. Manufacturing is leaving and coming to America. Trump isnt destabilizing the world he is restabilizing it to a free market American economy and the socialists are threatened

Principles for Dealing with the Changing... book by Ray Dalio

It's a fascinating read.

Here are some excerpts from what I believe will be the seminal speech of our time.

China is more than willing to expend its sphere of influence for those countries that push back against Trump's policy of it's my way or the highway approach to international relations.

... With the USMCA review starting in July 2026—just six months away—this China deal could be the catalyst that blows up North American trade entirely. Retaliatory tariffs, supply chain disruptions, and economic paralysis are all on the table.

In this video, I break down exactly what this deal means, why Carney made a move this bold, how Trump's tariff wars pushed Canada into China's arms, and what happens to your grocery prices, car costs, and the entire continental economy when trust between America's closest ally completely breaks down.

The supply chains aren't fully paralyzed yet. But they're seizing up. And we're six months away from finding out if the damage can be contained—or if we're past the point of no return.

Here you go "Who Moved My Cheese".

 

[Mac-7]

We are the adult in the room thats the problem

Libs are outraged by trump rhetoric but sanguine towards real facts such as declining electricity production in the UK and germany

For example here is what AI which is a lib brain and mouthpiece has to say:

Conclusion​

Overall, the UK produces less total electricity now compared to 2015, but the share of electricity generated from renewable sources has increased significantly, reflecting a successful transition towards cleaner energy.

Whoever or whatever wrote that rosy scenario is dumber than dirt

 

[80zephyr]

I think that summarizes trump's ignorant, deluded world view very well. We elected a conman, not a statesman, and so he acts like the former instead of the latter.

Isn't it about time someone has told the rest of the world "enough"?

 

[Mac-7]

Not at all

Yes the Euros are pissed at trump at the moment

And some lib leaders like Carney are overreacting to the point of absurbity

But in the end Trump is right and they will come around

Though maybe not Carney

 

[berg80]

Carney is a new world order china loving liberal globalist. His words mean nothing. He bows to this order and communism. I'm not surprised that you would hold him up with salivating admiration.

Carney is the humble messenger telling the world the way things are.

For decades, countries like Canada prospered under what we called the rules-based international order. We joined its institutions, we praised its principles, we benefited from its predictability. And because of that we could pursue values-based foreign policies under its protection.

We knew the story of the international rules-based order was partially false. That the strongest would exempt themselves when convenient. That trade rules were enforced asymmetrically. And we knew that international law applied with varying rigour depending on the identity of the accused or the victim.

This fiction was useful. And American hegemony, in particular, helped provide public goods: open sea lanes, a stable financial system, collective security and support for frameworks for resolving disputes.

So, we placed the sign in the window. We participated in the rituals. And we largely avoided calling out the gaps between rhetoric and reality.

This bargain no longer works.

Right now our GDP growth is about 4X what it is in Europe.

And Trump is using all that to fix the clusteruck destruction your Vegetable Messiah left behind.

How?

Be specific and bring evidence. Your delusions are not evidence, BTW.

He is a Cuck from a useless country on the world stage. Nobody cares WTF he thinks.

Except the world fleeced us for years charging huge tariffs on our goods while we took theirs in for free. Let it be asymmetric now. We were warned back in 1992 about "free trade".....ross perot anyone? Uh huh, it wasn't free trade.

Energy production matches demand.

Demand is down because Europe invested in energy efficiency, which seems like a good thing to the adults in the room.

What he clearly doesn't understand is that world macroeconomics are changing. Countries now have other options.
