I know, but the central cartel (I hesitate to use the term "government") could just buy (American taxpayer subsidized) helos and make loads of money operating a transportation service. I think there's an Orwell book based around this concept.

Harvest is going to be a fun time for Trump republicans.

I have a feeling that we're going to end up giving up much more with these tariffs than anyone realizes.

The rest of the world won't be satisfied with a return to status quo when this is over. They'll want retribution.

My generation is going to end up slaves to the Chinese because of this.

This is fantastic. I know it's cruel to the people involved but I can't help but laugh at how childishly hamfisted it is.

Bruh, don't trip, the USA don't play that shit. We'll make them sell all their assets back at a dollar if need be.

It's wanted retribution for decades, it won't get it because the US has military hegemony and the rest of the Western world benefits from it.

Won't do shit against economic retribution.

When's the last time there's been a USA only recession? If we're doing bad, everyone's doing bad.

Absolutely destroyed.

America has all the natural resources needed to survive. Prices will get a bit higher, but with a reindustrialization it’ll balance out. The tariffs will do more good than harm to America. The real problem to America’s Economy is speculative banking and crazy low interest rates.

Again America has all the resources need to be self suficent. Also the US Navy keeps all the shipping lanes open for maritime trade. If the rest of the world ganged up on America all America would have to do is refuse to keep shipping lanes open. The rest of the world will crumble, except for China, they have a strong Navy.

It shouldn't in principle, but the US does not believe foreign laws apply to it.

Meant for:

America does have the resources needed to survive.
The American middle class and bourgeoisie on the other hand aren't used to merely thinking about survival but of buying cheap and readily available products from other countries. America at the moment doesn't have much of an industry anymore and building up industry will take up quite a damn lot of time. If America didn't give up their industry and production then yeah they'd be able to get out of a trade war, but now? I don't think that they'd be able to actually be able to do it without severely fucking themselves over.
Ironically enough raising taxes on porky would actually be able to sustain the lifestyles of the middle class. The tax cut on the other hand will just fuck over the lower class individuals while those who work in middle management are going to be completely fucked because all the stuff that they like will be expensive.
America could easily win a trade war with any one nation, and if Trump just focused his sight at China, he'd be able to get not only higher approval ratings, but also might be able to muscle China into doing whatever the US wants.
He could even have gone after the EU, but since NAFTA is dead in the water at the moment, and with his only allies being Israel and Saudi Arabia, it is highly unlikely that the US will be able to withstand the backlash from their blitzkrieg tariff war. America is not an invincible nation, it is very powerful but that power must be used effectively. The current leadership is just made out of decadent whores.
Ironically enough Bernie Sanders might've been able to whip the bourgeoisie into shape, but all Trump did was indulge them and now they have to pay the price for that.

So we get Occupy Wall St. 2.0 this time with more Guillotine, where's the downside for The American People?

I'm pretty sure all the Chinese kids get taught that wall failed and that failure is why they had the Yuan dynasty

a failure.

Ever since The 1911 revolution China had been deeply critical of China's history especially under Mao.
Also it failed lol

What would Happen in Mexico if AMLO was killed?
And who / what do you think is the best shot at un-fucking the Neo-Lib Slave factory known as Mexico?

This isn’t particularly true. America why not the industrial might it used to be still has a decent amount of Industry.Also the Industry America does have left is extremely automated. The real affect of this trade war won’t be felt for a few years. Regardless of what tariffs will be placed we’re gonna get an economic crash soon. And likely a Bernie style figure will win the 2020 race. By this time it will be to late for them to reverse the tarrifs because by this time the EU and China would form an Economic block, but this Bernie like figure would likely be anti-war and push for American demilitarization. This is important because the US Navy is responsible for keeping global shipping lanes open. America demilitarization would mean the American Navy no longer is responsible for this. As such the burden would fall on China and the EU. Who would have to rapidly increase Naval spending, thus crippling there economies.

But that's total nonsense. Even if we take at face value that the rest of the world don't have strong navies, which is not the case, it would also follow that they don't have the navies required to close shipping lanes. It's a two way street.

If that ever happens, the fat lady has sung. A unified Eurasian power is a power that dominates the globe in perpetuity.

Good riddance to bad rubbish, fuck America and fuck Israel - now we need the Saudis to fuck off too

The Democratic primary is going to be a free-for-all, though my money's on Kamala Harris. I want Bernie to win it, but I feel the bad blood between him and the Hillshills will force a "safer" option.

Democrats aren't allowing independents to run with them. Bernie 2020 is already dead in the water

It means jack shit unless the US is denied re-entry when they inevitably attempts to rejoin

Meme magic is real and it's capable of backfiring.

If you actually read the article you got that from, you would know that Bernie always runs as a democrat in the Vermont Senate primary, which is why he could run as a Democrat in 2016.

The Vermont Democratic Party back him up on this and are willing to go to the mat to defend his right to run.

Harris won't win back the people the Democrats lost, or get the votes that Hillary couldn't. Trump may not get many votes but a lot of Republicans will get behind him just to stop whatever the Democrats pick. 2020 could realistically be taken by an independent. If Bernie ran independent he'd be a virtual shoo-in.

More likely though, we're going to get some other fucking celebrity run as a Democrat and the US Presidency will be nothing but celebrities until the empire falls.

Unironically the Zapatistas would take control of Chiapas.
but yeah, AMLO is the best shot, he gets offed and things will just collapse.

At the end of the day, it is basically Tom Perez's choice: he will block bernie. Fuck me I hope he does, there is the infrastructure for a broadtent leftwing party: Trots, Socdems, Labo[u]rites, Demsocs, Progressives, Greens have all been working together. bernie would win, he would have an anti imperialist presidency and shit will be fun at-least.

More efficient at what? Fuel economy? The Russian chopper can carry more so even if your faster you're making 2 trips for the payload. Is being faster actually more advantageous for a chopper like that, I don't think these kind of choppers get into dog fights. Seems like you're just making excuses.

The Blackhawk and Hind come from different schools of thought, Blackhawk is designed to be a combat transport helicopter used to rapidly insert and collect soldiers into/out of a battle zone, and for that reason speed and manoeuvrability were prioritized over fire-power and raw weight capacity, its better at carrying troops than the hind, but worse at carrying really heavy things

The hind series are more do it all, with a chin gun, some armour and the ability to deploy troops, they're worse at deploying troops than a blackhawk (they're also so pig fat when set up to work in their original role that they need a runway to take off initially) but because they were originally designed with hauling around a chain gun, its ammo, armour and 6 dudes they have a much higher weight limit than the blackhawk

They're pathologically afraid of power, they're the direct opposite of opportunists to an absurd degree

user, that's not a Hind, it's a Hip

...

This is what they said about America just before WWII after ten years of a DEPRESSION!

It wasn't true then, its not true now.

Oh boy, what fascist regime are we going to fight to get this miracle economy?

Will it be our own?

Useful idiots, the both of you.

Until it crumbles under the weight that is petty regional nationalism.
