The rest of the world cheats us and Trump said, ‘No more.’

[Ringo]

We shouldn't protect the formerly enslaved nations.

Oh, give me a brake! Next to US the word "protection" can only be used in the mob sense.

I agree, they need protection from Russian mobsters.

 

[Ringo]

No, they haven't realized that no matter how creative you get, you'll suddenly get hit in the cakehole with an iron boot toe.

 

[Jroc]

I know!
We shouldn't protect the formerly enslaved nations.
If Russia can't just invade them again, that might make Russia angry.

About the if these idiots in the Birden administration didn't invite Ukraine to join NATO...the war would have never start if it weren't for that

 

[Clipper]

Right, assembled in MEXICO and U.S. BMW and Audi are just peachy. Then there's the $200 oil changes and ridiculous maintenance and repair costs. I'm pretty sure Europe would scarf up our affordable cars like candy.

The clown felon raaaaaaanted- "who would sign those deals"!!?

Does that fucking jerkoff remember that he signed the USMCA?

Meh, Trump has amassed more wealth and success than you ever will in 100 lifetimes. You realize Trump doesn't even know you exist, or care.

LOL. Remember how Putin's asset signed the USMCA, NAFTA on steroids?

Or would you rather forget because that fact hurt your MAGA feels?

Germany sells us 8 times as many cars as we sell them? Why?

Because it's a free market, and a lot of Americans like German cars.

What a stupid goddamn question.

 

[CowboyTed]

Um, they do that because our cars suck, and their cars are kind of awesome.

Their awesome cars will easily out compete our sucky cars at a 0% tariff.
So, they can drop their tariff to 0%.

Right

US has a 25% on trucks coming from EU and 2.5% on SUV and Sedans...
EU has a 10% tarrif on all vehicles.

Trucks represent 56% of sales in the auto market.

So what is the proposed solution?
0% all round?
US Auto Manufactures, I don't think like that idea...
EU would probably have less of a probably have less a problem with that...
Either way it won't change much

Why don't Europeans buy more American cars?

Trump wants US vehicles to be more popular in Europe, but it's a difficult market for them to crack.

www.bbc.com

The large European Market buy a lot of there national brand... You won't see many Renaults in Germany and BMW isn't that popular in France in comparison. Japanese cars are made more with European roads, fuel economy and emission standards in mind...
American Car manafacteurs make cars in Europe for Europe just like BMW, Mercedes... make cars in US for US producers...

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

A reckoning is coming.

I didn't think about that yeah we buy mostly trucks and SUVs over here... In Europe they're probably outlawed

Not as much outlawed as very impractical...

European roads are just not that wide especially in towns... Also European roads are not that straight and cars which are smaller and lower to the ground offer better handling are much more popular.
Also European cars are a lot safer for pedestrians as Europeans believe all road users need to be respected. Europe walks and cycles a lot more than Americans especially for communting.

Except no one invited Ukraine to join NATO.

Putin attacked because he wanted to take over Ukraine.

He failed.

We shouldn't reward him with land.

President Biden said very clearly that the decision on Ukraine's accession to NATO is the decision of the Ukrainian people only, this is a sovereign and independent Ukrainian state," he said. "And it depends on Ukraine and NATO members."

Biden assures Zelenskiy that NATO membership in Ukraine's hands, Kyiv says

U.S. President Joe Biden assured Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy that Kyiv's bid to join the NATO military alliance was in its own hands, Zelenskiy's chief of staff said after the two leaders spoke on Thursday.

If Ukraine wants to join a Defensive pact because a much larger neighbour keeps wanting to invade them and other countries around them. Why shouldn't they...

Putin actions have been the largest recruitment incentive to NATO since its foundation.

Putin has no right to tell other soverin nations what to do... By the way Russia sign that in the Budapest Memorandum too

1. Respect the signatory's independence and sovereignty in the existing borders (in accordance with the principles of the CSCE Final Act).<a href="Budapest Memorandum - Wikipedia"><span>[</span>7<span>]</span></a>

It was the first point...

Putin likes rewriting history and relies on people's ignorance on what was agreed.

By that logic we should have let Russian missiles in Cuba ..you're a genius

 

[CowboyTed]

That was during a cold war.

Effectively Russia was at war with Russia at the time...

NATO is a defensive pact, those weapons in Cuba had little to do with defense...

Cuba didn't have an agreement of sovereignty with US, was quite the opposite.
