China is building its own axis with China at its center, with ambition to rival and take over from the US as the world's only super power. India is in the BRIC block very friendly with Russia, led by a right wing Hindu nationalist party. They got their own blocks.
I am disappointed.
What do you mean TACO aren't they striking Ukraine daily? TACO are you announcing that Russia and Ukraine are at war?
Art of the deal: make concessions before negotiations.
Huge sigh of relief
If they weren't, they wouldn't have voted for you dumbass!
China and Vietnam are producing a lot of the low cost every day items people use. It's going to hit the lower income people the hardest. Thank goodness I'm in Canada.
They need to fire the leaders of Democratic party. Find new blood and new direction. Swing to the right didn't help them.
What kind of exploitative capitalism do we have in Canada? And how is this allowed? This is utterly ridiculous!
What a piece of shit. And this guy was running US foreign policy? Wow. Saudis must be regretting paying this man $40m a year to manage their billions.
Funny thing is this kind of behaviour isn't unique to Musk. A lot of entrepreneurs and CEOs seem to have similar kind of attitude. They want everything done cheaper faster and there's no 2 ways about it. It's their way or highway. If shit goes to hell it's other people's heads that roll.
I think you're missing the tenet of the intent. China is building a China-centric trading eco system. They want what US has. The rest of the world subsidizing them while they control the world trade and financial system. This new block is trying to be counter-weight in negotiating a better WTO against China and the US. The picture you're missing is that the post-WWII order established by non-communist countries are geared to favor the US and the West. But now that US is breaking the old understanding where that advantage was shared with junior partners, they are finding themselves at a disadvantage. That's why Carney is smartly trying to organize the junior partners of US to form a block, to not only revive WTO, but to create a better one.
