You said it all and said it well, thank you. If we’re going to get out of this alive, we have to first understand reality. Yes, China has done what the US should’ve been doing for the last half-century, building high-tech manufacturing and an economy largely immune to external shocks, helping less industrialized countries build infrastructure, and raising the living standard of their people. What the US has been doing, in the meantime, is making billionaires while people can’t earn a living wage and infrastructure collapses around us. And now Trump is eviscerating any remaining shred of respect the US retained on the global stage. It’s been apparent for decades that the arrogance of American exceptionalism would be our undoing, that America would become a pariah state, and not a country in the world would accept Americans across their border. That sound in the near distance is the death knell of the US if we don’t get the whole lot of them out, and soon.
Always a strong debate on this topic. Good to see both sides. In the short-term, everyone will falter to a global recession - not due to tariffs, just due to the cyclicality of the real estate cycle. Over the long-term, it sure seems the U.S. dominance will continue to diminish, but what is being done now is to preserve and protect what they can.

I would be more open-minded. That’s a good summary of the problem. I believe that characterization of Trump’s actions is off.
Let’s wait and see the White House announce trade deals with countries like India, Japan, South Korea, and Vietnam.
This whole post comes across as an ad for rare earth. It’s the danger of aligning yourself to sponsors.
Yeah, that’s not a great argument. (I’ll leave a link if you are actually open-minded and would like to have a genuine discussion.)
Trump won the trade war against China.
I can admit I am wrong if the White House does not announce deals with India, Japan, South Korea, and Vietnam.

I just saw that the US and Ukraine announced a minerals deal, too.
China lost some leverage.
Wow, could you please take a look at my post and add any missing points in the comments?
I appreciate you for sharing this info.

Thanks! I appreciate your feedback.
Trump is Chuck Norris, strong and powerful.
China is Bruce Lee, resilient and flexible.

News that is reliable
Reliable?
It’s a big advertisement for buying rare earth minerals. I would take some time to evaluate the argument.
