Anyone trying to appease the US is just going to continually get let down and backstabbed. The sooner the other countries realize they are dealing with a toddler, the better for them to get to somewhere stable.
Not much of a backstab when you get 90 days to figure out how to deal with tariffs and decide to… not do anything? I hope the free, democratic world comes together while China and the USA have their little stalemate.
EU joins the chat
only slams? not blasts?
how many slams in a blast?
It’s like two Olympic sized swimming pools full of jello vs half the number of motel rooms in New Hampshire.
This is why we need metric slams and metric blasts.
Calculating the slam to blast ratio requires more computing power than we currently possess.
Fair
Here we go with the “slams” again.
Here we go with people complaining about "slams" again. It's part of the language and it's here to stay.
I just got slammed.
Welcome to the jam.
It's overused. I am in the wrestling business and I hear that word less in that circle then I do reading the news
thanks, reddit
"China firmly opposes any party reaching a deal at the expense of China's interests. If this happens, China will never accept it and will resolutely take countermeasures"
two big toddler are fighting. Great.
Edit: downvoted for not support tankie's favorite toddler. Awesome.
Toddler heart Pooh bear xo 🛠️
And the EU gets to choose the best deal 😁
I hope EU get together with UK again
UK can always join, the older generation that voted for Brexit have been dying year after year
Yeah, i don't think that is what happening.
When two people are pointing a gun at you and one of them will shoot if you choose the other one, you are not exactly "winning".
View it as a customer choosing between 2 suppliers
Supplying bullets to your body...
This is choosing between losses, not between to gains. The EU is not the king in this situation, it is the servant who has two masters demanding loyalty and both being willing to punish what they perceive as disloyalty.
China's pretty much saying if you let the US Bully you into adding Tarrifs on China we are going to treat you the same as the US.
In my mind China's ascending rapidly while the US is falling to pieces, losing trade from China basically means the country in question is going to lose access to everything they sell and skyrocket prices etc.
Unfortunately I'm in the UK and they will likely suck up to the US as they always do so yeah I think we are even more screwed than most.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
