Comments: As US citizens, first or second class, we all want ( or should) what is best for our country, the next generations prosperity and wellbeing,… That is not to say that we should be like pioneers, roll over everything and everyone. If you care for this country, you should also care for the poor, underclass If you care for this country and future generations ,you should also care for the environment If you care for this country, you should care for democracy and democratic process And most importantly, the dignity of the country Human beings and the world are no longer fascinated by cowboy movies and pretend cowboys
Comments: Farzad, your pontification was noted. You asked a question, and I answered. Didn’t realize that had to get a PHD , preferably from Trump university, to be worthy of this discussion! Last I checked, there are two sides in a war, and for a cease fire or peace agreement you need both sides to sign off. It seems to me another continuing saga of سفسطه to claim that we don’t levy tariffs on Russia, the aggressor, because we want them to be good boys ( which they haven’t been exactly) , but we go ahead with levying tariffs on Ukraine.
Comments: Now, let's talk Iran, what do you want to see.
Comments: Cyruss. If you watch his daily press, he answered it 100 times. They are in the middle of ceasefire talk between the two countries and that is a bigger fish to fry. Did not want to impact or complicate that. stopping the killing and ceasefire is the highest priority there, specially that our trade with Russia dropped from 35 Billions to mere 3.5 billions. Now, let me see if you have this answer. Do you know why he tariffed a country which only has penguins living there?
Comments: Cyruss, before I respond, I really dont have anything to say as the devil is in the details. But establish a know how on what is going on in the world economy and where it is going regardless of who the president is and then we can talk intelligently. Understand why tariffs, understand our debt, understand that status quo leads to end of American dominance, understand interest rates and why it is so important, specially now.
Yeah you need to understand the tariffs and trades fully. It is not just about the numbers like 6% tariffs or zero percent. It is not about that number. It is really about Trade barriers (nonsense regulations in place which disallows US to export to many countries including EU, Japan, Australia, Singapore and China. Both friends and foes). And Trade defecit. You can't just be asking me to buy your stuff, but you don't comitt to buy ours. Anyways, you can call it whatever you want, MAGA or whatever, but I care about my beloved county and I want to see nothing but gratness here. I know others may not feel the same. And may see themselves as second class citizens just in terms of patriotic standpoint. This is an Australian economist who basically paints the picture... Knowledge always is good. This is very educational. And then you see how the western world is totally screwed . https://youtu.be/19IdLsBuCe4
Comments: Now , a question to all. Just to get educated on the subject Why were Russia and Belarus 🇧🇾 were noticeably excluded from these tariffs while there are countries in the list that have never heard of?
Comments: *saint trump Hate auto correct!
Comments: And my point before your سفسطه was cutting hundreds of thousands of federal jobs by musk, doesn’t do smallest dent in to federal deficits. Optics are even worse, when considering how many lucrative contracts he has gotten since new administration. At least from conflict of interest point of view. And if penny pinching is an issue, how about the cost of Trump’s weekly vacations in Florida? Appointing security details for deputy ministers for the first time in US history ( each detail providing operation could involve up to 32 details) What would the optics be when Spain trump succeds with his birthday special military parade in the streets of DC? The cost of parade, added to it, the cost of infrastructural damage that city will suffer?
Comments: Farzad, My hope for negotiation:
Comments: Thanks Saeed. Now tell me about Saturday. What do you want to see as an outcome and what do you think will happen. I think the discussions will not go far. And Israel will bomb all the nuke facilities in iran. There will be some retaliation by IRI but then knowing Akhunds they will concede for survival. The negotiation is basically this. Will you voluntary dismantle or shall we do it the hard way. There is no concession whatsoever.
Comments: I may be wrong But here is your answer: Singapore ( they pride themselves as free trade hub) almost zero tariffs on US goods except for Alcohol and Tobacco China before trade war of 2018, and according to world trade organization data , on average 8-10 percent of, depending on the category of goods and retaliatory measures taken by US. In certain categories like agricultural and pork products it was higher ( 15-20) percent, mainly on soy beans. Again according to the world trade data ,In 2024, before the escalation of the U.S.-China trade war under the second Trump administration, China’s tariffs on U.S. goods averaged around 6% to 8% across most sectors,. Agricultural products like soybeans, pork, and wheat faced higher tariffs, sometimes 10%-15%, due to earlier trade tensions lingering from 2018-2019. Specific goods, like coal or certain machinery, occasionally saw tariffs up to 15% depending on bilateral agreements and retaliatory measures from prior disputes. Singapore, maintainedits free-trade stance, imposed effectively 0% tariffs on nearly all U.S. goods in 2024, except for select items like alcohol and tobacco products. To the best of my knowledge. MAGA outlets and Fox News may disagree with the above. Now, why are you so sensitive about Singapore? Just because I posted a video on how a statesman should talk and present his case without being a bully?
Comments: Let’s accept the fact that Farzad truly believes these policies are helpful to US economy. Let’s accept the fact that he believes Trump is a smart businessman and what he is doing is for America and Americans. Reality is that we can’t convince anyone otherwise, even if the results are right in front of us.
Comments: Cyruss so what was exactly your point? Like, you know well before these new tariffs, Both Singapore and China already levied tariffs on our exports but we did not. So why is it good that they can tariff us to limit our exports, but we cannot. Just wanted to understand the logic. I am all 👂
Comments: See more poise on Tajiks than Iranians.
Comments: Farzad, happy Friday I don’t know what brought poor China thing or cuttings jobs سفسطه، being melted in MAGA, the fact that comprehension is not your strong point and gets taken over by your preconceived assumptions or just being your usual sarcastic teasing self . That is ok, I’m used to your bias perceived notions in favor of addressing the points raised. |
