What was India's response to America's steel and aluminium tariffs? Only Australia and Argentina have exemptions.

Actually America's steel and aluminium tariffs apply to the entire world. Countries need their own individual exemptions to avoid them. And only Australia and Argentina have exemptions from these tariffs.

Can you explain to me how a trade war will help the US trade deficit, which is the largest in the world by far? And getting bigger as we speak? It is basic economic theory, trade wars don't work. Not unless you are the British Empire raising tariffs against her own colonies.

Do you know the American trade deficit to China just increased to record levels? :P Bloomberg - U.S. Trade Gap Widens Most Since 2015; Record China Deficit

Tell me, where is the money coming from to support these trillions in tax cuts and massive spending boosts? When America already has the worst budget deficit and trade deficit in the world? Have you seen the latest numbers for the US budget deficit and trade deficit? Bloomberg - U.S. Budget...

Have you found where in the report that the ECB did better? Or can you give any economic justification as to how the USA launching a trade war against the entire world (and being openly laughed at by the entire world) is beneficial?

I don't HAVE to listen to what he has to say, I listened to what he said because it was great. America isolating itself in the world (Paris Climate Agreement, TPP, Iran nuclear deal, steel/aluminum tarrifs, etc.) is fantastic for China, Russia, Europe, the UK, and every other power out there...

Indians don't want to discuss this because it implicates the almighty Modi. Isn't it strange how Trump declares a trade war against the world, yet it is the Indian Rupee that collapses?

Yes the Tiananmen incident happened in 1989. One of the worst tragedies in Chinese history. The anti-Sikh genocide happened in 1984. By those affiliated with the Indian government, same as with Gujarat in 2002. And this happened in 2018: Funny how Bangladeshis care so much about Rohingya...

You want Modi to give a "dressing down" to anti-Muslim bigots? Was it Swamy who carried out the Gujarat massacre? @UKBengali

Compare the USA of 1991 with the USA of today. @jhungary In 1991, would any country dare to openly laugh at the USA in the United Nations? Let alone the entire world? In fact, has the United Nations General Assembly ever openly laughed at a country like they did to the USA a few days ago...

@UKBengali will the USA help Bangaldesh if India invades it? I thought Donald Trump loves Modi and they are basically twins? I.e. They are both far-right populist politicians who hate Muslims?

Chinese Buddhist terrorists? Do you live in an alternate reality or what? I don't think anyone in Syria is "atheist" or "Buddhist". They are Muslims from one sect killing Muslims from another sect.

When the UK had a new Prime Minister (Theresa May) they made a huge fuss about "reviewing" their deal to have China build a nuclear reactor in Britain. After a lot of wasted time and money, they finally decided that the deal with China was the best value after all. But hey, it's their money...

Intercepting these things would be prohibitively expensive, I feel like countries wouldn't even bother trying, and would save their expensive interceptors for other missiles. Every time the glider maneuvers in mid-flight, a new trajectory must be calculated, and another interceptor launched...

I suppose they have fallen for their own grandiose ideology which they have spread throughout the world. Except that many countries (for example in East Asia) also embrace "diversity" without actually allowing immigrants to become citizens. It is perfectly acceptable to embrace diversity without...

Sure, as per the Non-Proliferation Treaty, if the other major powers all agree to disarm their WMD completely then we will as well.

These weapons are the future. It's not just the speed, it is the increased range, accuracy and extreme maneuverability that makes them such killers. Especially when deployed in an anti-ship role against enemy capital ships. China's DF-26 carrier killer missile already has a range of over...

You know the USA is still sanctioning North Korea, while China and Russia are arguing for the relaxation of sanctions?

When the entire world openly laughs at us in the United Nations we will finally be a superpower. :enjoy: But hopefully that will never happen, it would be my worst nightmare for China to replace the USA as the global policeman. Let the USA keep the job for as long as possible until they get...
