While China's dictator impotently meets with Monke and Rajesh and embarrasses himself, the world is laughing at China because the Royal Navy got bored and humiliated the CCP and demonstrated that China's regional claims hold no weight.https://ipdefenseforum.com/2025/08/u-k-carrier-strike-groups-milestone-japan-visit-bolsters-regional-stabilityU.K. Carrier Strike Group’s milestone Japan visit bolsters regional stabilityThe United Kingdom Carrier Strike Group, led by the flagship HMS Prince of Wales, arrived at Japan’s Yokosuka Naval Base in mid-August 2025, the midpoint of its eight-month multinational mission known as Operation Highmast.The aircraft carrier was accompanied by the Royal Navy destroyer HMS Dauntless and the Royal Norwegian Navy frigate HNoMS Roald Amundsen, which also was scheduled to join the carrier for a port call in Tokyo during the three-week visit to Japan.
I don't understand, Americans have several navy bases in Japan, so what makes you think the chinks would care about some bong ships? Do you think they were supposed to sink them all or something? Actual mental illness.
>>64204264not him but the US is buddy buddies with both China and Russia now
>>64204285This. We need Europe to step up and build 50 carriers.
>>64204264The point is to show the UK and Japan could cooperate against Chinese aggression in the region.
>>64204264Cope
>>64204285Leftoid cope once again
>>64204253>>64192116Checkem, oldest island empire friendship is back.
>>64204341You'd think leftoids would celebrate the pivot, not seethe about it?
>>64204349Leftoids just hate whatever the current thing Orange man is doing. Tariffs and export bans don't sound very friendly to me, Orange man would do more if the admin didn't stop him from going too far by actually decoupling.
>>64204349You really don't understand American politics if you honestly think left = opposite of right in every issue.The American left and right both agreed Russia and China are the major threat, they disagreed on how exactly to confront the threat.Now Cheeto in chief is cozying up to them. It's anti-American and shows how cult-like the right has become that they just lay down and act like it's ACTUALLY what they wanted all along.
If MAGA thinks it’s acceptable for a president to undermine efforts to confront Russia and China then no wonder more and more Americans are wanting British intelligence to take a more active role in shaping congressional actions and US policy
>>64204253I doubt any kind of embarassment can top making two chink ships crash into each other in open seas.
>>64204377you are paying the tarrifs, you absolute imbecile

>>64205302>>64205297>seething vatnik/wumaokek
>>64205270You think I wouldn't know that? Anyone can tell the goal is to put China back in it's box and reduce US reliance on Chinese supply chains. Leftoids can only think in a one dimensional as evidenced by bringing up Trump and maga unprompted.
>>64205400>I actually enjoy paying more for everything I have to purchase and when donald lied to me and said he was going to make everything cheaper, I was okay with this because I knew it was a lie meant for those "dumb" conservatives, not me because I can see through the politicking and I KNOW this is best for me and the US on the wholewewladthey really got you good huh?
What blew up this time?
>>64205413I'm not even a burger you fucking retard. I don't care about American prices or your imaginary conservative because it never affected me. What I care about is Orange man messing with China.
>>64204303I'm sure chinks are quaking in their boots at the sight of a glorified helicopter carrier staffed by women and pakis with less utility than an AAS or even a fucking Kuznetsov
>>64205495Are F-35's "glorified" helicopters now?
>>64205495>>64204426>>64189023
>>64205501When they can only take off from the ship in VTOL mode? Yes.
>>64205504you mean STOVL mode.They don't ever take off vertically outside of systems checks and demonstrations.
>>64205504Besides a -25% reduced range and a -1.5g turn rate it's the same damn F-35 stealth and avionics. Is this some new thirdie cope?
>>64205413>>64205270>he doesnt understand the point of tariffs
>>64205513You're the thirdie, paki. As in a third rate power that is worse off today than it was 40 years ago when you barely managed to defeat a bunch of delusional spics. Nearly every amphibious assault ship in American inventory can launch F-35s but they don't cope by calling them carriers because they have actual carriers as well. I bet the next (and last) bongistan """carrier""" will be a container barge.
>>64205529
>>64205529How does that in any way change what an F-35 does or is capable of?
>>64205529Why are you so mad at Bongs bruv.
>>64205542I was calling Queen Elizabeth class glorified helicopter carriers because that's what they are. VTOL carriers evolved from helicopter carriers, and by "evolved" I mean refitted in a lot of cases. If US makes a VTOL ten times as good as F-35 that's not gonna change the fact that Queen Elizabeth class are not real carriers, and thus below even coperamp carriers.
>>64205561>VTOL carriers evolved from helicopter carriers, and by "evolved" I mean refitted in a lot of cases.
>>64205561You keep saying VTOL, I don't think you know what that means.The F-35 is not a VTOL aircraft, HMS QE is not a VTOL carrier, they're both made for STOVL operations.Short Take Off and Vertical Landing.An F-35B from HMS QE is just as potent as an F-35B from an America-class LHA or Izumo-class DDH. And nearly as potent as an F-35C from a Nimitz-class or GRF-class carrier.
>>64204253>Brown nigger muslims want to attack China.And you wonder why the Chinks put you in camps.
>>64205400yeah, great way to force your own corporations to move manufacturing back to the US (but also keep the Chinese sweatshop prices too)how is that working so far, dumbass?
>>64205614>An F-35B from HMS QE is just as potent as an F-35B from an America-class LHA or Izumo-class DDHYes, and those are not considered carriers and have additional uses other than coping about a navy with more admirals than warships, thanks for proving my point>an F-35C from a Nimitz-classStrangely enough, a Nimitz-class can, and in fact does, carry planes other than F-35
>>64205614>>64205639F-35B from the QE is more potent than one taking off from an American class or any other flattop LHD as the ramp allows it to take off with allmost all of its combat payload.
>>64205523that's the catch - i do, and as non-american, I'm fine with you bozos paying more
>>64205635>tariffs don't work and wont affect china>also i am very mad about them
>>64205655>that's the catch - i do, and as non-american, I'm fine with you bozos paying moreAnd yet, you're deeply upset about them. Curious.
>>64205656>>64205660tarrifs will lower the export only because more of you idiots will no longer being able to afford itthe frustrating part is the whole world is trying to explain you basic economics, while you are so utterly dumb, you still think you are owning it
>>64205673>tariffs wont work and don't affect us, only you >tariffs make me very mad
>>64205673>Burgers will become poor because they aren't buying things with their own money absolute midcurve lol
>>64205681must be comfortable living as a clueless moron
>>64205693>haha! You're so stupid! >I am very upset about this thing that totally only affects you
>>64204377>Tariffs and export bans don't sound very friendly to meYeah but he's doing that to fucking everyone, so that's hardly a criteria. He put 15% on the EU, who are supposedly US allies.
>>64205690burgers are already poor, they just don't realize it see the housing, education and healthcare
>>64205716>see the housing, education and healthcare
>>64205715Yes, its 15% because you're allies.
>>64205730It doesnt feel very friendly to me. Nor the demands for Greenland.
>>64205737>It doesnt feel very friendly to meIts more friendly than 20%. >Nor the demands for Greenland.Its a hole in our hemispheric defense. They failed to invest adequately in it. However, after some mean words on twitter the Danes have pledged $2 billion in defense spending for Greenland. Mission accomplished.
>>64205737Bragging about the welfare state you paid for with the money you didn't have to spend on protecting your right to exist because Uncle Sam did so in your stead wasn't very friendly either.
Absolute melty going on right now
>>64205634>this post againWarriortard you need to get new material

>>64205761The anti-UK shills are upset because their narrative about the axe wielding girl got dismantled and countered, so now they are back to pretending to be American
>>64205270Consume less propaganda, retard.
>>64205693ESL
>>64205817>>64205821they are surely putting something in your water, lmao
>>64205270Tariffs only punish the citizens of the nation imposing them, which is why all of the other countries instantly raised their own tariffs after the US did, to prove they could punish their own citizens harder.
>>64204264
>>64205495Yup, there's the seethe OP mentioned
>>64205967>which is why all of the other countries instantly raised their own tariffs after the US didExcept they didnt. The EU and UK both decided to not implement retaliatory tariffs. Neither did Australia. The ones who did like China and India, have the same kind of jingoistic retards in charge as the USA does. Canada also retaliated (but has since dropped them) but that was more about the whole 51st state thing and threat of being annexed by the USA.
>>64204253I hate China but nothing about the Royal Navy is impressive at the moment. That carrier wouldn't have a full strength air wing even if they put all of the F-35s attached to both ships on it. Not to mention>a fucking ramp
>>64205985Okay.
>>64204253There will never be a moment in which European Korea is anything but a laughing stock. Britain is a totalitarian shithole nation.
>>64205985Why do you think they even considered retaliatory tariffs? They needed to debate whether or not to punish their own citizens? Or perhaps is there some other economic effect tariffs have? Much to think about.
>>64205999Or maybe its about how to react to sudden hostile actions by a supposed ally. Because obviously as EU exports are made more expensive by tariffs, this will inevitably affect sales and hurt EU companies. But it was decided that counter tariffs wouldnt do much good, and wouldnt change Trumps mind anyway. But countries like France wanted to retaliate because of the symbolism of it. Which is pretty much what China did, because 140% tariffs wouldnt be sustainable for China either. But China can relocate a lot of its imports, basedbeans and such can be bought from Brazil.EU mostly buys services from the USA. Microsoft office, windows, Amazon web services, cloudflare etc. Do not be surprised to see the EU start subsidizing domestic alternatives in the coming years.
>>64206011You're going to need to start paying SEs more than 40,000 euros a year so they don't all leave before that happens. Even with subsidies I doubt they'll ever see wages equivalent to what they could get in the US.
>>64206011>prioritizing American citizens is a betrayal of Europe Okay. >Do not be surprised to see the EU start subsidizing domestic alternatives in the coming years.Okay.
>>64206011Good luck doing that now that you're finally spending money to rearm and carry your weight
>>64205737I still don't understand why Denmark controls Greenland
>>64206038>Trumps internal monologue while pacing the roof of the White House
>>64206025Wages are higher but so is cost of living. Lemonade stand did the math the other day. You are not better of on a 100k salary in the USA when you actually account for all the expenses you do not have in the EU. Namely, healtchare, transportation, internet/phone are markedly more expensive. The places where you actually earn that 100k also have far more expensive housing.What European software engineers are actually doing is becoming expats in places like Portugal or Estonia where cost of living is even lower, while working remotely for Swedish and German firms.
>>64204426This is as bad, or worse than, the videos of their ships taking on water through water tight doors while navigating in rough seas.
>>64206065>Lemonade stand did the math the other dayOh, yeah, I surely trust him. >You are not better of on a 100k salary in the USA when you actually account for all the expenses you do not have in the EU. Namely, healtchare, transportation, internet/phone are markedly more expensive. Yeah, if you compare NY to the EU. >The places where you actually earn that 100k also have far more expensive housing.No, not really because we also work remotely and also because breaking 100K is relatively easy. Its no contest, incomparable. The EU per capita would be one of our poorest states.
>>64206046No. It's a serious question, you demented TDS leftoid.
>>64206084I 100% support Trump. My post is what we call "a joke". Sperg.
>>64206065If you're at a job making anywhere close to 6 figures you have healthcare as a benefit, and you can still find good paying SE jobs in lower cost of living areas. You won't make as much as you would in SF but you can find entry level positions paying anywhere from 80-90k in the midwest, and that's just entry level. Not uncommon for more senior SEs to make 125k+ even in relatively cheap areas. If it truly were better more Americans would move to Europe to work than the other way around, but it isn't even close. Those services you mention aren't free either, you pay for them, especially as a high salary earner. You're paying for your own services and then services for some migrant welfare family on top of that, in addition to the pension of the boomers who fucked it all up for you in the first place.
>>64206028How is it prioritizing US citizens? There is no plan here. The tariffs only work if combined with industrial subsidies, incentives to get more people into technical fields, you know, an actual plan. Hell Biden's inflation reduction act was more of a plan than this. All Trump does is put up tariffs, bully companies like Apple, Nvidia and Intel, and hope it does anything. >>642060373,5% defense spending over 5 years, and 1,5% on defense related spending with a review in 2028. Yeah no one is actually going to be genuinely spending 3,5%. Only the Poles and Baltics will probably do that. The rest is just appeasing Trump and will drop those demands on the 2028 review when he is out of office. Everyone is pretty much just waiting Trump out. Whether its NATO spending or tariffs or domestic companies beng preassured to re-shore, everyone is just saying yes and doing the minimum to look busy.EU will spend more on defense, but it's not likely to actually go above 2%. Spain and Belgium already outright refused. Upon which Trump tried to put tariffs on Spain, which is impossible as it's an EU member.
>>64206089ah, gotcha.it doesn't come through print very well, perhaps we should have italicized posts on /k/?
>>64206098>How is it prioritizing US citizens? There is no plan hereYou're asking how policy designed to onshore manufacturing benefits Americans?>The tariffs only work if combined with industrial subsidies, incentives to get more people into technical fields, you know, an actual planThese all exist and have existed for a very long time.
>>64206095>You're paying for your own services and then services for some migrant welfare family on top of that, in addition to the pension of the boomers who fucked it all up for you in the first placeIt's why taxes in the EU are so crazy, especially as a high wage earner.Them gibs ain't free.
>>64206065This is massive cope and you know it. Any decent career in the US pays 6 figs and has insurance and a leased car included. Taxes are less. Earning more is also a function of saving more, higher expenses do not scale linearly with an income increase and you can control expenses as opposed to your income.
>>64206098What then if Vance wins in 2028? Assuming Trump wouldn't come back already fucked them once. I don't think it's a smart geopolitical strategy to bet everything on one party winning in the US the next cycle.
>>64206095>You're paying for your own services and then services for some migrant welfare family on top of that, in addition to the pension of the boomers who fucked it all up for you in the first place.And you arent in the USA? You still pay into social security and medicaid, and the migrants are using the roads and hospitals paid by your tax dollars. Thats the same in Europe as the US. Sure, we do grant more benefits. >>64206081>himIts an economics podcast, but nevermind. Per capita means very little, quality of life in most of Europe is higher than the USA. Longer lifespans, better health standards. And dont pretend you all make 100k. US average is 58,000. Thats not higher than Switzerland, Luxemburg, Benelux etc.
>>64206114Based on who the dems have right now, and who is polling well (Newsome, Kamala) Vance will almost certainly win. Unless they do a total rework of their party, and its goals, they are going to struggle for a very long time. The damage Biden did was immeasurable and their bench is small and full of fundamentally flawed candidates. Their best candidate is Gov. Shapiro who doesnt stand a chance in the primaries cuz Jew.
>>64206117>quality of life in most of Europe is higher than the USA.Based on what metrics? >And dont pretend you all make 100kI make 142k gross which is about 105K net. >US average is 58,000. Thats not higher than Switzerland, Luxemburg, Benelux etc.Now do net income.
>>64206113>Any decent career in the US pays 6 figs and has insurance and a leased car included.So do the top jobs in the EU. I am a self employed electrician and I make 100k euros after tax some years. But thats not the average incomes, not anywhere near. Yeah the top 10 to 20% of the USA is doing better than anyone else in the world. But your bottom 50% is absolutely not doing better than the bottom 50% in Europe. Your wealth gap is huge and thats why you have so many commies. I mean we dont have student debt for example. I believe the UK does, but thats only about 15k pounds on average. >>64206109I pay 49,5% tax. Yeah, its ridiculous. But if we didnt have the damn immigrant leeches, it at least would be going to maintaining a well functioning system.
>Something that makes shithole country like russia or china look bad>Thread immediately diverted to culture war bullshit as a distractionEverytime
>>64206117>quality of life in most of Europe is higher than the USAThat's subjective.As a pensioner? MaybeAs a salaried worker in a private company? Maybe (depends on your income)As a city/state employee? You work what, 24 hours a week? LOL!
>>64206136>But your bottom 50% is absolutely not doing better than the bottom 50% in EuropeThey have bigger homes, more cars, AC etc etc etc. >Your wealth gap is huge and thats why you have so many commiesYour wealth gap is smaller and you have even more commies. By our standards your biggest political parties are literal marxists. > I mean we dont have student debt for exampleYou do and you can never ever pay it off because its a tax.
>>64206136>I pay 49,5% taxone of us
>>64206136>But your bottom 50% is absolutely not doing better than the bottom 50% in EuropeHighly debatable but that is largely of their own doing. Which is the difference between our system and your system. In ours, you're free to become disgustingly rich or shamefully poor. In yours, everyone and everything must be equalized by the state.
>>64206156>that pic
>>64206146>As a city/state employee? You work what, 24 hours a week? LOL!True, and then they still make 36k a year. I am not in favour of this system, we have labour shortages because of the sheer amount of part timers (and immigrants who do not work). The whole quality of life arqument can be made based on life expectancy, obesity rates, fatalities from road accidents and crime. The USA has a lot more crime. Yeah niggers, I know. >>64206148The biggest political parties have pretty much always been cucked center right Christians and social democrats. But these days populists are usually 2nd largest. But its not like the USA is the conservative bastion it was under Reagan in the 80s. Im from the Netherlands and you guys are more liberal on drugs and gay marriage than we are these days. In some states you are more liberal on abortion than we are.
>>64206179>The biggest political parties have pretty much always been cucked center right Christians and social democrats.And to us they are literally commies. Which renders your "inequality = commies" argument as moot.
>>64206136>your bottom 50% is absolutely not doing better than the bottom 50% in Europenigger please learn the meaning of "median income" and "poverty line"I'm not American, but as one of /k/'s few quants, let me tell you, do not get into a shitflinging contest with Americans about income and quality of life, they're objectively better than the Schengen>bbbbbut what about all the whining and moaning I read onlineblacks and white women amplified by Russia, India, China, Iran and Nork shills
>>64206198Man I've been to places like Molenbeek, and the shittest parts of London like Lutton. And I have never seen Fent zombies, homeless encampments, or the literally falling apart streets of Detroit.
>>64206207Yes, we do not have a safety net. I do not think anyone has argued otherwise.
>>64206207doesn't matter, the numbers don't liein fact they're already massaged by the pro-EU authorities to spin it as best as they canit still doesn't work
>>64204253the fact that it was able to reach japan without breaking down is the news here
>>64206104>policy designed to onshore manufacturing benefits Americans?it won't tough, you can produce a mucguffin in China and ship it over for 20 dollarsyou can make it in the US for 60 dollarsyou slap a 100% tariff on it and it's still cheaper to import>These all exist and have existed for a very long timeand they have for a very long time failed to achieve anything even close to what is needed. to sustain an actual re-industrialization.the simple fact is that wages are to high in the US to make anything but the most capital intensive or high return industries feasible.because it's not just the labor cost of the end producer but the whole supply chain and support network around it that is driving up the cost of other inputs. putting tariffs on everything and everyone also hinders industries from developing. since inputs are taxed just as high as finished goods.
>>64206233They had tugboats carrying the other one behind them in case they needed more replacement parts.
>>64206239The only reason chink shit is so cheap is massive industrial subsidies they've been doing for decades, arguably at the cost of healthier economic development. I don't think their current goal to transition to a middle class economy is going to pan out, already seeing signs i.e. real estate market woes.
>>64206239>it wont work when I get to make up the value of the products for a hypothetical argument The plan isnt to compete for cheap trash. >and they have for a very long time failed to achieve anything even close to what is needed. to sustain an actual re-industrialization.Yes. Because of free trade. >putting tariffs on everything and everyone also hinders industries from developing. since inputs are taxed just as high as finished goods.More than happy to take the risk, because what we have been doing for the last 40 years has had some negative outcomes. The people have spoken. Deal with it.
>>64206239And the question remains whether you should even want to be making it in the US. Chips? Sure. Steel? Arguably. High end manufactured goods? Sure. Essential pharmaceuticals and chemicals? Yes, with the asterisk that maybe you dont because the only reason China can make those chemicals and rare earths is because it has absolutely no pollution standards and Chinese groundwater is so polluted with heavy metals you cant drink it.But why would you want to re-shore textile manufacturing, consumer electronics, raw industrial goods like base plastics and rubber etc. There is no economic benefit, there is no way to make it profitable, and there is no strategic need. Nor would Americans want those jobs at minimum wage. So blanket tariffs are just retarded. He put 40% on Bangladesh, which pretty much only sells T shirts and sneakers to the US.
>>64206136>But your bottom 50% is absolutely not doing better than the bottom 50% in EuropeI'm barely above the $58k number (presumably you) cited here >>64206117, and have a 5 acres in one of the more expensive states (home prices in the top 10) in the country, with a two story house and a 5 car garage with a lift. I legit don't know what average really looks like in Europe, but the way you faggots talk I would expect you all to live in castles on hundreds of acres with live-in servants and solid gold toilets. I wouldn't even care about any of this is you guys weren't so obnoxious about it.
>>64206271>But why would you want to re-shore textile manufacturing, consumer electronics, raw industrial goods like base plastics and rubber etc. There is no economic benefit, there is no way to make it profitable, and there is no strategic need. Nor would Americans want those jobs at minimum wage. So blanket tariffs are just retarded. He put 40% on Bangladesh, which pretty much only sells T shirts and sneakers to the US.We dont.
>>64206258>The plan isnt to compete for cheap trash.Anon, there is a 50% tariff on Brazil which pretty much just exports coffee to the US. There's a global minimum of 10% even on shit like vanilla and bananas which cant be economically grown in the USA. These are not targeted tariffs. There is no plan. Like I said, even Biden's inflation reduction act was more of a plan. It at least put a trillion dollars into much needed infrastructure development, and implemented subsidies for chip manufacturing and server parks.Trump rescinded the inflation reduction act btw. For no more logical reason than it had come from Biden.
>>64206287>Anon, there is a 50% tariff on Brazil which pretty much just exports coffee to the USWrong. Its 40% and is limited to: > silicon metal, pig iron, civil aircraft and parts and components thereof, metallurgical grade alumina, tin ore, wood pulp, precious metals, energy and energy products >These are not targeted tariffs.oooof >even Biden's inflation reduction act was more of a planNot even remotely. >and implemented subsidies for chip manufacturing Thats a seperate act, called the CHIPS act.
>>64206256They have zero domestic demand, huge unemployment and are choked by tariffs. They're not gonna implode per se, but they're going to have a much more dramatic recession than the Japanese did.
lads, since we're on this tangential /biz/ topic, I want to sound the alarmthe world's 3 biggest economies are US, China, and the Eurozonethe Eurozone inflation rate is higher than GDP growth, nuff saidfurthermore, nearly half of European GDP is government spending. this is virtually a USSR-tier command economy, with all its concomitant downsides I shouldn't have to go into hereit's utterly unsustainable and will collapse eventually, either through catastrophic inflation or the harshest of austerity measureswe're talking annual double-digit inflation for over a decade. it's happened before and might happen again.for China and US, the debt to GDP ratios aren't as bad. however, the amount of deficit spending last year for both China and the US was roughly the same as inflation. this means the real economy was stagnant, and nominal gains were inflation-driven. there was virtually no natural growth.if I were you all, I'd start saving and cutting back expenses. inflation might wipe out most of it but it's better than starving. also you will be mentally prepared to cut back when forced to.whatever other measures you wish to take, that's up to your ingenuity. but it's time to risk-off.good luck.here endeth the PSA>>64206239>it's still cheaper to importit's notthe manufacturing margin between China and US is only 5-10%within two decades of re-onshoring and re-directing tariffs and profits into the domestic economy, this difference will redress itselfthe problem is that most of the Western political cabals only care for making generational wealth within their short political careers by continuing the very short-term-profitable trade with China; they don't give a damn about twenty-year projects>if they could even understand it>looking at Madam Jewish Space Laser Greene, or Miss Infinite Debt OcasioI've been saying it since the 00s; drop the fucking Iron Curtain on China and watch them die in fifty years as the USSR did
>>64206256yes, china has been subsidizing it's industriesbut they aren't the only country that can undercut the US in wages or scale industry to drive down prices. as long as the US has a massive wealth and quality of life gap it will stay a net importer simply because it makes more sense both on the macro and micro scale"made in America" costs to much and Americans aren't willing to pay that premium unless it's for status goods where conspicuous consumption is the goal.there's decades of research on this>>64206258>The plan isnt to compete for cheap trash. but most of what the US consumer buys is cheap trash and so must of what he is paying tariffs on is cheap trash.>Yes. Because of free trade. because other jobs ad more to the US economy than jobs in industry and so other jobs will pay better and offer better conditions>because what we have been doing for the last 40 years has had some negative outcomesit's also had a lot of positive outcomes that people have become so used to they take them for granted and have forgotten about.the people have spoken and in a couple of years they'll change their tune once they've lost the positive that make free trade a net benefit for them
>>64206323>but most of what the US consumer buys is cheap trash and so must of what he is paying tariffs on is cheap trash.Okay. >because other jobs ad more to the US economy than jobs in industry and so other jobs will pay better and offer better conditionsYep, thats the argument that was made in the 1980's and 1990's. Didnt turn out how it was promised. We're doing something else now. >the people have spoken and in a couple of years they'll change their tune once they've lost the positive that make free trade a net benefit for themOkay. Idk why the fuck you're seething about something that will supposedly only have negative outcomes for us.
>>64206323The goal isn't to fully reshore here. It's to move away from China, while reshoring in the process.
>>64206117>US average is 58,000. Thats not higher than Switzerland, Luxemburg, Beneluxwhoop de doo, 40 million people out of 500 million in the Eurozone have similar average salaries as Americansmeanwhile what's the medians for Germany? France? Italy? Spain? UK?and they pay about 16% more taxes than the average American, don't forget
>>64206320I agree that the advantage China had is shrinking rapidly. but I used them only as an example. it's rising production cost is leading to a lot of manufacturing moving to the new low wage countries. it isn't US vs. China it's US vs. where ever it's the cheapest to produce>>64206332if it makes you happy most of what the rest of the world consumes is also cheap trash>Didnt turn out how it was promisedit did for most Americansit didn't in a very noticeable and hard hitting way for several regions in the USpolitics are driven by perception more than by facts>seethingbecause I'm interested in the topic and like talking about it
>>64206373>it didn't in a very noticeable and hard hitting way for several regions in the USAnd yet somehow the majority chose otherwise. Curious.
>>64206334if the goal is to move away for China why impose tariffs on every other country?if the goal is to reshoring why put just as high tariffs on inputs as finished goods and in some cases even harderI'm not saying that it can't have those goals, just that it isn't just that or that they are trying to achieve those in the most efficient, least disruptive way
>>64206381the majority chose to kick out beaners, release the Epstein files and above all else everything but kamala

>>64206370>nd they pay about 16% more taxes than the average American, don't forgetAnd you pay more on car payments, credit cards, healthcare, phone etc. I was amazed that apparently the normal American phone plan is over 100 dollars a month. I pay 8 euros a month, and thats northern Europe. And car payments. Over here a lot of people dont even need to drive. You guys have car payments of easily 500 a month minimum. All you need to live over there is way more expensive.

>>64206496well good luck, never let ignorance hold you from fucking your own shit up
>>64206408>you pay more on car payments, credit cards, healthcare, phone etc.the specific basket of goods cost varies so widely between countries that such a statement is impossible to substantiate without literally months' worth of research so you're talking out of your assbut I'm not going to go into that. let's tentatively accept what you say as true. well, according to the OECD, the US PPP modifier is only 1.2x above the OECD average. given that Europeans pay 16% more tax, this means most of that cancels out.(it's likely that for Americans, most of this additional expenditure is on healthcare.)but this doesn't cancel out the overall higher gross median salaries Americans enjoy.in short, the typical Frenchman earns €48,000, and the typical American $60,000the state takes about €17,000 and $20,000 in taxes, respectivelyleaving €31,000 and $40,000 neteven if things are cheaper for the Frenchman by 20%, or about €6,000, the American still earns 10% or about $4,000 more than he does
>>64206508You done or do you have more seethe to release?
>>64206521Thats 9000 dollars more (and dollars being weaker than euros) for having a significanly less safe society, far worse infrastructure quality, lesser quality housing, much lower social cohesion and so on. Doesnt seem worth it. The Lemonade stand guys did the math, between Sweden and California. From about 41 minutes.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VYXLhIQZl8
>>64206521the european worked on average 1570 hours that year and the american 1810that's 240 more hours or more than 1/7th the european's working hoursbth we could be here al night/day long pulling stats out of our assesbut as far as the rest of the world are concerned both are head and shoulders above the restwe get lost in the on the global scale minor differences because it's the only two place on the world giving a fuck about
>>64204253That expeditionary force could be sunk in a few minutes without China even noticing a dip in their missile stockpiles. I’m not saying “China strong” so much as “the UK’s token attempt at solidarity is pathetic and if anything the US and Japan should be offended”
>>64206555>far worse infrastructure quality, lesser quality housing,This statement is rather humerous. >The Lemonade stand guys did the math, between Sweden and California.Ah, they compared one of the worst US states to one of the best European states. cool.
>>64206566There's also more parental leave, more sick days, and the European guy cannot be fired at will. Way more job security.>>64206574California is your wealthiest state, and Sweden isnt in the top 5. Norway, Luxemburg, Iceland, Switzerland, Netherlands, Ireland etc all have a higher GDP per capita. Anyway, if you want you can watch it. They do a detailed analysis of both the median, average and the top 10%.
>>64206595>>64206573UK is operating in the SCS and the PLAAN is not operating in the Atlantic. This makes the changs very upset. >>64206595>California is your wealthiest stateIts one of the most expensive states to live in, and has one of the highest tax burdens. You fucking idiot.

>>64206602>Its one of the most expensive states to live in, and has one of the highest tax burdens. You fucking idiot.And it also has the highest salaries with all the techbros. And the most druggies and homeless. Perfect example really. I mean its about 12% of the US population, so good comparison pretty much.>>64206609Yeah I know. Thats why I went self employed and only hire other contractors to work for me. Because fuck having to pay someone for 2 years if they happen to get sick for a long time. But that safety net is there for those who want to be the average. I work way over 2000 hours a year, but then I dont make the average either. We are a bit too socialist on some things, but the US is way too extreme the other way.Of course all of our societies would improve if we managed to just get rid of all the non whites.

>>64206628>it's way more secure to have a robust economy with lower national debtIs that a joke? You know you have left Greece behind in debt to GDP right? And your deficit is the highest in the West? And lets not even talk about household debt.
>>64206628well the average frog worked even less hours humans don't just maximize for wages. do too higher taxes on wages Europeans favor other forms of compensation or just less work. while a stronger drive to keep up with the Joneses tends to make middle class Americans chose raw income over other forms of compensationEuropeans and Americans value things differently and that has led to divergent systemscomparing them on one thing that one of those divergent systems is much more focused on leads to a faulty comparisonit is still a useful one to make but doesn't give a complete picture
>>64206641>I work way over 2000 hours a yeargood on you I'm getting the master I didn't finish while doing a full time. and it forces me to respect the grindset of the self employed all the more

>>64206179Biggest difference is your state (regime) embodies paternalism and raised you to be cattle who can’t do anything on its own.
>>64207053They have one carrier and are canibalizing their spare. Their missiles routinely fail drills and it’s also a very poor country that can’t afford to fund their military and is facing heavy unrest. Yeah, North Korea looks mighty on paper…
>>64207081Again none of that invalidates what an F-35 brings to the table.I get it, you're a seething retard trying to shit on the UK, but that in no way changes how much impact 20-36 F-35Bs can make to a conflict.No one is saying HMS QE is going to single-handedly take on china. But more F-35s are always going to be a welcome addition to a fight against china.
>>64207081>They have one carrier and are canibalizing their spare. False, lmao
>>64206239>you can produce a mucguffin in China and ship it over for 20 dollars>you can make it in the US for 60 dollars>you slap a 100% tariff on it and it's still cheaper to importA very wrong and outdated assumption.First of all chinese labor is very expensive these days, more expensive than india and even some parts of mexico. The main advantage they are still coasting on is the existing scale and inertia of their infrastructure.There have been companies that have experimented with assembling a cell phone in the US vs. assembling one in china, and the difference came down to only about 20% more expensive. IIRC it was about a $550 cost for the chinese phone and $650 cost for the US phone. And this is in a product category the chinese should theoretically have an overwhelming advantage in.A 40% tariff would absolutely change the equation and make the US phone cheaper.
>>64206320China’s debt is actually atrociously bad once you account for all the LGFVs they use to launder debt.The country is basically Enron if it was run by communist boomers who can disappear foreign financial auditors.
>>64207156trueif we add an estimated amount of corporate debt owned by state-owned enterprises to China's government debt - which is logical, because a state-owned enterprise is de facto an extension of the government; any debt owed by it is owed by the government - then China's total public debt to GDP ratio at least doubles to make it the most indebted government on Earthbut the Euro figures would then also have to tack on state-owned corporate debt of about 15-20% of GDPand I'm not sure about any US debt in state-owned corporations. there has to be some, I thinknot that this is brilliant news. contagion from a China collapse will also trigger a lot of fucking dominoes on the rest of us

You might be used to grooming little children but with Athens it was young men who had just taken their citizenship oath (at 18-20) and were attending their military academy.So a little weird but Ancient Greece is literally way less pedo than your traditions or England.

If you have schizo (you do) fix it. You clearly hate what this board is about so why are you here just to pick a fight with everyone?This is a post and swap gun tips board.

Again, stimming.
>>64213064I hear they tell commonwealthoids not to go around randomly picking fights in America as it’s a good way to end up paralyzed.Keeping a hint of chivalry and duel culture seems to prevent much senseless violence. You do not randomly start beating up people without a high risk of getting shot here.
>>64213072you never answered when I asked when you got here. was it when r/the_donald died, or was it later?
>>64213076You mean like all the time random anons get accused of being some random identity out of nowhere (because you're losing the argument against them) and just get confused over who you're taking about?
>>64213076>doxed This is America.Twinks with guns are dime a dozen. You’d have to go after every twink with a posh voice and pat them down. Good luck, my PPK is on my crotch.Also you’re still doing the everyone who laughs at my country is all one guy shtick. In reality you hate the dominant board culture and are of course going to get weird reactions for counter cultural threads like this. Why not. You’re advancing the only state/militia have gun rights not individuals argument that lost in America

>>64207570Manipulated statistical comparison, not a great look. It is the daily mail though.Not only are bong statistics more accurate, the definitions are often more broad than would be found in other nations.Rape/sexual assault for instance includes all forms of sexual harassment too, whereas in nations like they US the definition is stricter to only mean penetrative sex.Note how the only comparisons for homicide rate were 4 WESTERN European nations.Also its hilarious that the tories are even bringing it up when they spend 14 years of misery creating a worse environment, but the reality is crime has been falling for over two decades.https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2013/jun/24/blog-posting/social-media-post-says-uk-has-far-higher-violent-c/You are filthy lying scum.As for "stripped of parts" they just retrofitted one to get one running while they backlogged the new propshaft design.

>>64206494Most the ships of the Royal Navy are reaching end of service life after they had it extended, the Type 23s are finally being retired from service after serving for double the intended time with the Type 26s and Type 31s coming into service from 2028 onwards. The Type 45s are having their replacements being drawn up to come into service in the latter half of the next decade. The biggest problem for the Royal Navy is lack of sailors so it can't operate all the ships and boats it currently has but, that's a problem shared by of a lot of militaries.

The moment those jets land in Singapore there is going to be an army of Chinese spies ready to dig into whatever areas they haven't stolen already. Many seething Australians on /k/ have already been sounding the alarm since the US decided to sell the F-35 to Singapore as they believe it compromises Australia's air defense to China. While the US can afford to replace the F-35 with something new in 20 years Australians are going to be stuck with them for at least 50.
