that true?US Vice President JD Vance said Sunday that Washington holds more leverage than China in escalating trade tensions, while expressing hope Beijing will choose a “reasonable” path."If they respond in a highly aggressive manner, I guarantee you, the president of the United States has far more cards than the People's Republic of China," Vance told Fox News.The comments follow US President Donald Trump's Friday threat to impose 100% tariffs on Chinese goods and restrict critical software exports after Beijing announced controls on the exports of rare earth minerals.Vance acknowledged the situation requires careful handling. "It's going to be a delicate dance, and a lot of it is going to depend on how the Chinese respond," he said."We're going to find out a lot in the weeks to come about whether China wants to start a trade war with us, or whether they actually want to be reasonable. I hope they choose the path of reason," Vance added.https://www.aa.com.tr/en/americas/us-has-far-more-cards-than-china-says-vice-president-vance-amid-trade-tensions/3715227
>>518724749>expressing hope Beijing will choose a "reasonable" pathI thought Trump was the TACO guy
>>518724749In a certainly light he could honestly make that argument. HOWEVER a pair of 3s still doesn't beat a full house. Americans (except that Dan guy) have always sucked major ass at poker and never do bluffs right.
>>518724749When you are strong pretend you are weakWhen you are weak pretend you are strongSun Tzu
>>518725010you realize this isn't some universal and necessary idiom, right? we're resting our balls on Venezuela's forehead right now. it isn't a bluff
>>518724749Tax Chinese fentanyl! Our economy relies on a criminal political party in China that kills hundreds of thousands of Americans per year, and these Poindexters like Vance are talking about them being reasonable. The average American is moronically stupid at this point.
>>518725085John Bolton tried to get Trump to invade VZ in 2018. This is more neocohn crap disguised as MAGA.
>>518725085if you have to talk about hidden trump cards youre bluffing
>>518725196that has nothing to do with the argument>>518725235>if you say you can fuck someone up but don't show them precisely how you will do it by outlining every step of your plan and defining all the levers at your disposal, you're bluffingI can see why no one listens to Poland in the real world
>>518724749JD Vance is the Dan Quayle of the 21st century.He was only chosen because both left and right know he's a complete puppet, and don't want President Vance. Nobody's gonna take a pot shot at Trump while the prospect of "President Vance" looms
>>518724749
>>518725340You didn't make an argument.
>>518725340youre just mad im calling out your bluff
You're not going to get a meaningful answer for this on /pol/ because this board is now full of retarded brown shills who are absolutely confident that Iran, Venezuela, Yemen, North Korea, Russia, China, etc. have never at any point done anything except win incredible victories and make brilliant decisions that btfo the gay jewish westIt's a new kind of contrarianism so terminal that I can't even really comprehend it, like you assholes do realize this image was originally created with seven layers of irony right?
>>518724749Oh no no no Cards sisters?
>>518725196MAGA was always neocohen crap
>>518725417here's the argument:>>518725010>>518725085>>518725419not quite. my personal welfare isn't dependent on the geopolitical pecking order as established through the next decade
>>518725437Trump is helping Israel build it's empire while ours continues to sag. The next president is going to reverse the tariffs anyway. Burgers just want to claim victory and pretend they're a part of the cabal of billionaires profiting from this shit.
>>518725591but youre invested on n keeping the bluff alive
The US has more economical power obviously, so yes in that sense. Still, if both sides played all their cards and the whole world economy went to shit, I think there'd be more rioting and insurrections in the US than in China.
>>518725682sure, I have national pride. but I'll take reality as it comes
>>518725437>conservative is extremely butthurt that /pol/ doesn't support the GOPWhy are you even here? There are plenty of places you can go to talk about Fox News slop.
>>518724749> US Vice President JD Vance said ...> that true?No
>>518725752so its an irrational my team is better than your team thing
>>518725685> America is richer> That means they have the best cardsNo they have the most to lose.
>>518725909I don't know if I'd say it's irrational. there is a clear rationale to the type of emotional cognition that results in patriotism, as it is a macro form of ingroup bias, which is a function of evolutionary biology.now were we to lose the trade war to China and unable to accept it? that, I agree, would be irrational
>>518725614>just grow different crops bro!!!Your mom buying your groceries is the closest you've ever been to farming guaranteed fucking retard.
>>518726121>evolutionary biology that created sloths and koalas well have fun in your bubble and root and toot for your boys
>>518725812Because I'm getting fed up with this shit. This board has become so contrarian that you now literally agree with the blackest gayest trannies on everything.
>>518724749>"Speak loudly and carry a little stick." - Vance
>>518726606
>>518725437They don’t realise.
>>518726606oh you're jewish, I should have guessed
>>518726579evolution doesn't make everyone a winnerbut thanks, anon. and sorry I took that jab at you about Poland's relevance. truth is, you guys have been serious about Russian's imperialist designs longer than most outside of Ukrainealso, your women can be beautiful and the men have a great sense of humorJan Blachowicz bless
>>518726722>>518726707Yes only jews don't want Chinese hegemony, the rest of us long for eternal Maoist rule
>>518725373Man, these ai vids are getting more and more convincing.
>>518724749Really? Why is it that China has ignored the US and keeps imposing even more tariffs and bans on exports to the US while the orange pedophile is on Twitter kissing Xi's ass?BRICS is all China needs.
>>518726826Unfortunately your jewishness is too obvious for your subversion to work, sorry
It's not brown shills so much as it is zigger and chink bots
>>518725085>Americans really think beating on an impoverished third world nation is impressive. What a disgusting country full of disgusting people.
>>518726793clearly sloths and koalas are winners since theyre alive today and survived for millions of years but i dont wanna blow your mind
>>518727261sure, they're winners within the grand evolutionary chain, but they are relative losers compared to species that have capitalized most on a Malthusian worldI'm not sure why you seem so invested in attempting to hit me with a "gotcha." it's not going to happen because all of my statements are inherently qualified. there's no need to feel insecure, anon>>518727234that isn't the point of the argument
>>518726457>just grow different crops bro!!!Literally required for long-term sustainability and output of farmland.
>>518727412you woulndt get it mason
They haven't even gotten China to agree on their Tiktok order.
>>518727576well, I wish you good health and happiness, friend. buy me a beer if I'm ever in your neck of the woods
>>518727702same back at you
>>518725010so just everyones weak then?maybe this chink just didnt know wtf he was talking about
>>518727412Then what is the point? Why don't you tough guys go attack China or Russia? Why go after countries that are borderline starving? Fucking disgusting. America exemplifies cowardice and the worst traits of humanity. Your existence is a blight on humanity.
>>518724749he's absolutely 100% correct
>>518724749please Xi pick up the phone.. we can still be friends..
amerimutts produce literally nothing except what? corn and basedbeans and food products. and "financial products"
>>518727850>memeflaggot seething about AmericaMany such cases. SAD!
>>518725437/pol/ has redpilled me, jews and whites are the only race deserving to rule Earth. "Judae-America" is the only faith leading to ultimate liberty.
>>518727885>magatards are still desperately trying to make Vance coollmao
>>518727950>heh, all you produce is foodyeah, nobody needs that
>>518728082you lost, tranny
>>518727988Seething? No. I'm here celebrating. Trump being president has made everyday a celebration because the rest of the world can finally be rid of you. The best part is, you voted him in! Couldn't have made it any easier. You voted in the 'enemy from within'.
>>518724749The US is scaredTACO
>>518724749He is correct, China plays a big game but they are all show when it comes down to it. We can do this the easy way or the hard wayYour Choice China
>>518727850>>518727850>Why don't you tough guys go attack China or Russia?we are, both directly and indirectly; just as they are>Why go after countries that are borderline starving?to secure geopolitical hegemony>Fucking disgusting. America exemplifies cowardice and the worst traits of humanity. Your existence is a blight on humanity.prescriptive statements and ethical judgments are irrelevant in the civic arena
>>518724749Someone AI generate him and Xi playing cards Put Kanye in there for two yees
>>518727892
>>518728195It's pretty obvious to any non-retard that China picked the hard way. Your move.
>>518728160No, you're just a subhuman yellow nigger and your country is collapsing in real time lol
>>518727632chinks are just facetardseverything for fucking facebuild a $20B meme bridge in the middle of fuckall for facedrive your cunt off a fucking cliff for facefuck itnow theyre stuck playing face-chicken with this fucking mug. they KNOW theyre not good for it rn, but theyre gonna do it anyways, cuz muh face. and theres a very high chance vance and don not only know this, but are doing this precisely because of it. xis been doing his whole cult of personality thang for like a decade now. hes way too much of a facetard to back off now. hes worried his party will turn on him if hes perceived as "weak". he might even be right idk enough about chink internal politics to rly comment. i just know their macro game, which is just them fronting for face
>>518728217You're losing on every metric. Enjoy. You deserve it.
>>518724749Not true at all. China doesn't care if their citizens starve. They can and will win any trade war, at any costs.
>>518728286>Your move.ok, your economy collapses and you all starve to death because we're no longer buying your lead-lined child slave-made trinkets lol
>>518728384time will tell. in the meanwhile, stop fighting the wind
>>518728347>build a $20B meme bridge in the middle of fuckall for facelmao still mad about the bridge? btw it only cost $400M to build.
>>518728195>>518728347Extreme magacringe
>>518728384>ignores reality>repeats talking point+1 points have been added to your social credit score, too bad you can't eat those
>>518724749We have an extra sub they don’t have anymore
>>518725085Venezuela btfo
>Vance says America is holding more cards in the poker game of international politics>look at America's hand>a pair of 2s, a Yu-Gi-Oh card and Derek Jeter>>518726457Yes, faggot. Basedbeans fucking suck ass. They cost too much water and ruin the land.
>>518728243kek
>>518724749They have more cards because it's a house of cards.
>>518724749>still using card game analogies after being humiliated multiple times and being forced to admit your bluff
>>518724749>BE CHYNA>HAVE NO CARDSSAD!
>we're enabling the emergency powers act on account of all the immigrants and drugs coming in through the border>here's how we're going to use those emergency powers as leverage to wage a trade war with ChinaHow is this shit not being dumped on in the courts?
>>518726826>jews don't want Chinese hegemonyCoulda fooled me with how wall streets behaved since the 90s
>>518728629This. First term Trump made a great deal with China and the commies then just delayed and ignored it and there was no reaction. This time they just go directly to ignoring it.
>>518724749>says Vice President Vance
>>518728347>build a $20B meme bridge in the middle of fuckall for faceLiterally frothing about a bridge in Asia lmao
>>518728243
>>518728988there is a reason why they waited until now to fire back. worth the read.https://x.com/RnaudBertrand/status/1977266253837251066
>>518729097They are seething because they still haven't rebuilt the baltimore bridge.
>>518729294oh the one that fell over? Lol
>>518729549They haven't even moved all the rubble away after a year.
>>518728489and i bet $200M of it even went to building the bridge tooyou misunderstand. id imagine purposefully, given the absolute (and actual) mongoloids that populate this board nowadayslets dumb it down for yano one cares about the bridge. not us, not china, not even the ppl whos town is kinda nearby the bridge (it literally is in the middle of fucking nowhere lol). the bridge means nothing. no one cared to get to the other side. it saves a 3hr drive for literally no one, cuz theres nothing on either end of it. its entire use was CHYNA STRONK prop slop.and so they got their useful idiots and sycophants in alt media to>wow china so stwong>china big bwidgefor like a day or sonow, personally, i think $400M is MASIVELY overpaying for what amounts to like a day and half at best of newsreel footy for droolers that already agree with the CCP narrative anyways.but then IM not the one get $200B of that $400B paid directly into my acct. by contrast, the CCP memebers AREso you can see why i, nor anyone else rly, takes china all that srslytheyre not a srs placeits literally always just posturingif youre trying to guess what chinas gonna do next, at any moment, look at what would make them LOOK the coolest. THATS what theyll do. and so now orange hitler and his sidekick babyface got em running on a treadmillso were gonna see how good their cardio rly is, not just how good they say their cardio is in the annual reports
>>518729908i don't even know what to tell you, this is schizo levels of reasoning. your brain is completely fucked.
>>518725085yeah lets hope you wont get btfo by a poor third world country 4th time in a row lol
>>518731190you say this as if we didn't exit each conflict on our own terms. could've gone full crusher and nuked or full on destroyed, but America isn't evil despite what you want to believe due to your envy and insecurities. we basically get bored and realize it's not worth it for a variety of reasons, just as a grizzly bear may choose to not eviscerate an unusually aggressive rabbit
>>518729908Quite. Thinking about, not building bridges, or even not rebuilding bridges that fell over (like >>518729731), shows how strong and confident America is - and it costs NOTHING.
>>518729167They got Russia to reopen the Beryl mines. The company that owns them now is based in Beijing.Xi is a close reader of USGS reports, Trump and Vance would shut it down if they knew it existed.
>>518729167>>518733600interesting read, but far from authoritative. if the trade war continues, we'll see what happens. I am of the opinion that it should be America's greatest priority to decouple from China as quickly as they can without causing tremendous shock to the system. it's probably a 10-15 year plan. it also makes the devaluation of the USD pretty smart as it relates to debt liability. I am not comfortable with a central digital currency, though
