it’s like you believe you can tariff them expecting they won’t do the same. Why do you believe the rest of the world is not going to retaliate and why do you believe America can prosper without the rest of the world?

What’s the point of having a military alliance with countries you puts tariffs on? That’s unfriendly to say the least.

    the analogy was in reference to the size differential between david (boy) and goliath (giant)

    sure david wins in the parable but to quote bo burnham

    South of queers, north of Hell

    The queer ones suck and the brown ones smell

    We guard the border and we guard it well

    But some slip through the cracks of the Liberty Bell

    Did I say liberty? I meant taco, Paco, hey you better let that rock go

    'Cause in real life, Goliath wins

    And then sells all the silk that the widow spins

      You underestimate how grossly unqualified everyone at the top is in the US. Anyone who’s even remotely qualified to lead the military is being replaced with sycophants. The US has never been weaker, which is exacerbated by the fact that any allies that could provide warnings of an attack, just won’t. Since our intelligence agencies have been neutering any early warning systems set in place, we will not see it coming, or worse, ignore it, because like the parable, an extremely incompetent group of leadership thinks it’s too big to fail, when in reality, wouldn’t take a huge enemy to win.

      Bo Burnham sounds like a fucking idiot. Despite his size, Goliath was defeated by a well placed projectile.
