Me and 100 million or so other Americans.
The japs, on the other hand, paid more than MSRP for their own products just so they could sell to us for less than USA made could compete. At the same time, they manipulated their own market so that Harley Davidson was not able to sell bikes that competed with jap bikes. Touring bikes. Etc.
If Americans had had that kind of nationalist mentality we wouldn't be in the mess we're in now.
You are 100% right about that. I only asked because I was curious.
“Free Traders” are just as bad as the Chinese that sold out to and profited by European colonial interests in the 1850s. We will rise again but not before there is some violence I am afraid.
It’s not a pipeline. It’s a sea and rail corridor from Russia to India that cuts the time of sending a cargo container from Russia to India from 40 to 25 days.
And it does not involve “evil” Russian cargos needing to run the gauntlet of USN/NATO waters through the Baltic/North Sea/Atlantic/Mediterranean/Suez Canal/Red Sea to India.
It will be ships and RRs from Russia to Iran’s Indian Ocean ports with not a single USN/NATO warship in sight. Meaning it will be cut off from future sanction threats.
This is massively true, and probably not 1% of [diverse/brainwashed/woke] Americans have ever given this one second of thought.
Gin and tonic anyone?
(I clipped and modified this from another comment I just sent on another thread.)
The new north-south Caspian trade corridor from Russia to India is being mega-turbo-boosted by our present sanctions against Russia.
Once it’s in full motion, it [the Russia-Caspian-Iran-India corridor] will take on a life of its own (like the Panama or Suez Canals) and thus cement Russia, the Caspian “Stans”, Iran, Pakistan and India together in its’ own trade bloc.
A trade bloc totally outside the reach or effects of the U.S./Petrodollar/EU/NATO bloc.
(IOW, the won’t need the “protection” of the US Navy, or to use U.S. “Petrodollars,” to conduct trade.)
Set up Beefeaters all around 🤣
I disagree.
The Chinese Communist Party supports the aspirations of the Chinese Communist Party.
The CCP has terrorized, imprisoned, looted, murdered, and starved to death millions of ethnic Chinese during their 50 years of dictatorship.
Notice however that the Chinese government does not have affirmative action programs to discriminate against ethnic Chinese.
I wonder why that might be....
