US tariffs are meant to cripple economies but failing

The Hillbillies are still unaware that Trump is screwing them - front, back, sideways, upwards and downwards, using the mantra that he is punishing foreign exporters with his tariffs. For the USA consumers, well, it appears to be ignorance is bliss.

You never realized what 'bald-faced liars' the USA leaders are and how they could lie thinking that nobody really pays attention. When those reciprocal tariffs were trotted out in early April, Trump was gloating about 200 countries queuing up to 'kiss his arse'. Now, it has been reported that his Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent, another prolific liar, is trying to cover Trump's kissing arse lie with another lie that Trump did not say that. Are they adults or children?

What about the earlier gloating by Trump that 200 countries out of the existing 195 were queuing up to kiss his arse. Trump does not even know how many countries there are in this world. Among them only two have been reported to have made deals with the USA - UK and Vietnam. And all that was what he achieved after three months of gloating? The fact that he is now shifting his deadline shows he is losing leverage. And the fact that he is sending out a few demand letters for a start shows that the gloating about 200 countries queuing up to negotiate were all blatant lies. I wonder whether letters of demand have also been sent to the penguins, LOL. Did the MSM reported any penguins landing in Washington to negotiate? I am sure they could not miss that great news.

The most interesting part of the circus is just unfolding, with USA consumers being hit hard by expensive goods. What is even worse is the dire state of the USA farmers, having no big market to absorb their produce that has to be harvested soon. Which is why Trump is trying to force countries like India to buy more of USA agricultural produce, which is going to kill off Indian farmers if successful. Trump is also targeting Brazil, that has now captured the Chinese market for its agricultural products. That 50% tariff on Brazil is all planned to cripple the Brazilian economy, after its agricultural sector took over the China market from USA farmers.

India better wakes up fast over what the USA is forcing it to do to import more USA foodstuffs, even trying to force India to buy USA beef, in a move that is sure to antagonize the Hindu fanatics. BRICS is where India belongs to, not the G7 and that should tell India where its loyalty lies.

Trump tariff deadline - Many countries totally ignore calling the US

 Scott Bessent admitted that many countries did not bother to call him despite the deadline. And only less 3 countries have actually negotiated a deal with the Americans, leaving more than 90 countries showing no interest in the tariff or trading with the Americans. This is how important or irrelevant the American market is to the rest of the world. Trump overrated the importance of the American market when the rest of the world can trade freely with, yes, the rest of the world, without having to be bullied by the scoundrels and gangsters in Washington.

The rest of the world is quietly derisking and decoupling from the Americans. There is nothing to buy from America and nothing much to sell to the Americans to exchange for a fake currency that is increasingly losing its value and may turn into a banana currency soon. Why bother to talk to the rogues in Washington and be called suckers and more humiliating terms like kissing the ass of Trump?

All national leaders have their pride and the pride of their countries. Going to kiss Trump's ass is an insult they would not accept as leaders of their countries. Trump had slapped them in the face even before talking to them. And Trump thinks that insulting the leaders of smaller states is alright, is the right of the American gangsters.

China is offering tariff free trades to Africa and very low tariffs to the rest of the world without the hustle of having to negotiate in Beijing. Life and trading can be so easy and convenient, why be bullied and threaten by the American rogues, like having to beg them for mercy? The Americans can close their doors and trade among themselves while the rest of the world is happy trading among themselves. China can offer the rest of the world everything they need, cheaper and better. Who needs the American market?

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

When would Asean condemn American and Israeli terrorist attacks on Iran?

 There was no legitimate reason for Israel and the USA to bomb Iran. These are acts of state terrorism. The accusation that Iran is about to build a nuclear bomb is as baseless as the accusation that Iraq had WMD. All the evidence, including those presented by American intelligence chief and the IAEA confirmed that Iran is not about to build a nuclear bomb.

Then the equally evil European gangs, instead of condemning the Americans and the Israelis, condemned Iran instead. Only the devil will say this is the way. The OIC as usual, made some noise to show that they would support their Muslim brothers and sisters, and why not, when Iran was attacked by the world's number one and number two terrorist states on fabricated lies and baseless accusations?

 The UN is as it was and it is, United Nonsense, totally powerless and useless and clueless on what to do with the terrorist states of America and Israel. They can bomb and attack any country as and when they like, with impunity. No one can stop them.

What about ASEAN? When would ASEAN speak up to condemn such uncalled for aggression against another nation state? This is a very serious breach of International Laws and a very dangerous precedent that must be stopped. Indonesia and Malaysia had spoken and condemn the aggression. What about the rest of ASEAN states? What about the friends of the American and Israeli terrorists in ASEAN? Would they stand up, or open their golden mouths and support the bombing of Iran by the American and Israeli terrorists?

A great violation of international law had been committed by the American and Israeli terrorist states. Either they be condemned or supported, silence is not golden. Silence is hypocrisy. Silence is appeasement to the terrorist states. Actually it would be better to support the American and Israeli terrorists by using some kinds of fake excuses or pretending to be ignorant of the truth, like in the Iraq WMD case, and be patted on the back by the Americans and the Israelis as good boy. 

Those ASEAN states hoping to buy more American or Israeli weapons would find this as a golden opportunity to score brownie points, and may gain some favour from the two terrorist states, and be called friends, and may be invited to the White House for tea.

German fried fritters aka goreng pisang, available for sale

 The Germans were crying that their little things were fried by Chinese laser beams in the Red Sea. A German spy plane flew directly at a Chinese warship, a hostile act. The Chinese tried to shoo them off, but as usual, the Germans behaved like the American terrorists and all white terrorists, claiming freedom of navigation, that they were in international airspace and ignored the warning. The Chinese warship turned on their laser beam at the German aircraft and immediately several of their instrument were roasted, including their little things. Ouch, it is not going to work anymore.

The German pilots went back crying to their govt that they are now impotent. The German called in the Chinese embassy official to protest. This is typical of white gangsters. They violated the rights of China, threatening Chinese warship with their hostile act and when their little things got fried, they cried and complained.

China now has the perfect tool to fried rice the white gangsters in open sea and international airspace when they misbehaved, rude and aggressive. Now there are a few pieces of fried German fritters, and their owners are frantically calling on the docs to check if they could still make babies. 

Not only that there will be more German fried fritters, the first guinea pigs. There will also be fried American fritters in the South China Sea, fried Japanese, Pinoys, Australians and possibly fried Brits and French fritters as well when they misbehaved in the South China Sea or the Taiwan Straits, or anywhere near Chinese territories.

Nice invention from China, to have frying fritter machine in their warships and warplanes. The white gangsters be warned. Don't offer yourself to be fried in the air or at sea. Playing with fired not only can get burnt but can also be roasted or fried. After this incident, the warmongering whites would be wondering what to wear to protect their little stuff if they are going to provoke the Chinese. If they can't find a solution they better stay far, far away from Chinese warships and warplanes.

Trump adding more misery to USA manufacturing with his 50% tariffs on copper imports

 Trump is adding more misery to USA manufacturing with his 50% tariffs on copper imports. That will mean higher costs for industries like vehicles makers (if any is going to be left), consumer products, electronics and electrical goods. Even weapons are affected, though the tariff could be added on and unloaded to Ukraine and Israel and other cronies and colonies like Japan, South Korea, Philippines and you know who. Not for free obviously.

USA copper producers will likewise increase prices to match imported copper prices for sure. This would be cause for celebration for them and their investors. Who is going to benefit? Not USA consumers who will have to dig in more to afford domestically made products. If USA consumers are clapping and celebrating, that shows how delusional they are. Tariffs are going to be paid by importers and passed on to them regardless of what and where they come from. What is the celebration all about?

China is the copper producer of the world, and the USA is not the market for China's copper output, nor is China dependent on USA copper producers who themselves are just able to provide only half of what the USA needed. Trump's move will not lead to any collapse of Chinese copper producers if that is what he intended.

China's industries itself need lots of copper for its EV producers (83 kg of copper for each EV on average), the shipbuilding industry, high-speed rails and trains, commercial planes and military jets, consumer products and even defense usage. Overcapacity caters very well to China's domestic needs. China has the productive capacity and the market as well. China's move to be totally self-dependents is no idle boast.

All in all, are we again going to see more nose cutting and face spiting going forward by the USA?
