US President Donald Trump has said he may impose trade tariffs on countries that do not support his plans to take over Greenland.
“I may put a tariff on countries if they don’t go along with Greenland, because we need Greenland for national security,” Mr Trump said at the White House.
Kinda seems that the whole rest of the world should just join BRICS or something. Tariffs ain’t gone mean much if the rest of the world just shrugs and keeps progressing their global economy without you.
BRICS intends to be just as bad if not worse. China and Russia in particular. Their hostility towards the US way of doing things isn’t because they actually think what the US is doing is wrong, it’s because they want to be the ones doing all the bad things the US is currently doing, they feel like the US economic and political dominance is stopping them from being able to do many of these bad things (which is true) and they believe it is their right to do whatever bad things they want to do, which may be true (obviously the US has gotten away with it for decades), but that is still not a point I am willing to concede. Turning to BRICS means conceding that point and letting them do whatever bad things they want to globally. And they will.
The EU is far from perfect, and they have a lot of work to do, but they seem like the only reasonable economic path forward for anyone that wants to at least try to respect human rights and behave in a civilized manner at this point.
Or the EU depending on geography and preference. Either is more desirable regardless.
I would rather the countries without concentration camps just work together instead of cozying up to some flavour of fascism and authoritarianism.
The countries without concentration camps often fully support and back these concentration camps, like the West and America. Come on.
