Why is news site reporting what the rapist terrorist said? Who gives a flying fuck what threats a felon gives?

Kim Jong Un wants you not to piss in his coffee. You laugh, you don't give it a fucking headline.

you CANNOT punish a country with tariffs. You punish the USA citizins with that. Idiot.

[–] AHemlocksLie@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

It punishes both. It harms both economies.

Dont forget about trust lost from other countries

[–] Jinarched@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 hours ago

If one of you mention anything negative about us taking Greenland, I will taxe my population more and severely disrupt their ability to purchase goods they need while you will be forced to find new partners. It will be very inconvenient for you. You will probably lose any trust you have in us and might not risk trading with us for a very long time.

Checkmate radical leftists. This is the art of the deal.

Oh... also. Please keep buying bonds and don't you dare trade with China.

[–] Valmond@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 3 hours ago

Why don't you put 1000% tariffs on everything you fucking buffoon.

[–] stylusmobilus@aussie.zone 16 points 5 hours ago

Yeah whatever Shitler, we have a trade surplus with you morons. Go to town carbuncle.

[–] MrSulu@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 hours ago

Shortly, any country without Trump tariffs would be considered with suspicion.

[–] Virtvirt588@lemmy.world 5 points 4 hours ago

About fucking time, we need a degree of decentralization from the US. There absolutely was no need to make US the central hub of nearly everything in this first place, all this basically proved that they where the superpower. Now this time long centralized structure is being tested - and hopefully it dissolves.

Yup ok. Giv’er president pedo face

[–] Jimm@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

That sounds less like diplomacy and more like pressure politics. Greenland isn’t a bargaining chip, and using tariffs to force support would probably just strain alliances instead of strengthening them.

[–] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 3 points 5 hours ago

Pressure politics is part of diplomacy.

That being said, the US effectively doesn't have any allies any more. Sure there's still alliances on paper, but Trump doesn't care about agreements and everyone knows it. But we're in a bit of an awkward dance where countries don't want Trump to know that they know the US no longer considers any country an ally. Just buying time to shift everything away from the US.

its RUSSIAN speak, punish [western country] to sow dissent, plus serves also a epsteinfiledistraction that putin might release.

[–] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 20 points 11 hours ago

Trump is threatening tarrifs. Must be a day that ends with a Y.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 16 points 12 hours ago

Oh, FFS. That shit punishes US.

[–] DragonAce@lemmy.world 21 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

This motherfucker has lost his fucking mind. He is so desperate to distract from the Epstein files that he is trying to start WW3.

[–] SabinStargem@lemmy.today 8 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

WW3 and a Greater Depression.

Yeah I'm sure they're really worried.

Imagine how screwed we'd all be if he had a whole IQ point.

[–] PhoenixDog@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago

As a Canadian, the best thing Trump has done is made us rely less on America.

[–] killabeezio@lemmy.world 18 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

God I hate what my country has become. No country is perfect or will ever be, but I can no longer say I'm proud to be an American. Fucking sad.

[–] NENathaniel@lemmy.ca 11 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

You were proud to be American before Trump?

[–] unsettlinglymoist@lemmy.world 9 points 10 hours ago

No kidding. The US was never "great" and I say that as an American. This country has sucked for my entire life and it's only now that a lot of Americans are finally waking up to that reality.

Oh man I've been waiting for us to have an excuse to tariff them. For one thing, we need to get Canadians to stop buying anything from the US, there are too many Canadians that don't seem to learn... At least with tariffs in place, the die-hard MAGA Canadians that insist on buying America will fund our economic development.

Also we get to put the squeeze on the US. I say we start with potash, or maybe hydro. Hit the essentials first.

After all, we should just assume he's going to tariff us no matter what we do. He'll use China as an excuse, he'll use the F35s as leverage, no matter what we do he'll renege on it, the same way he did on his own CUSMA. Just do what we need to do and lie to him, pretend we're doing everything we can, buy time and keep diversifying. Buy the Gripens, negotiate the deal in secret if needed so you don't need to announce it until the last minute. At this point don't commit to anything with the US. Delay, delay, delay.

[–] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 143 points 21 hours ago (12 children)

Do it, pussy. We're not buying your shit anyway. The USA can go fuck itself.

[–] JustEnoughDucks@feddit.nl 5 points 5 hours ago

This is also why all the fucking electronics companies in the EU only going through american distributers and having their own damn webshops from and EU company ship from the US is going to cripple one of or most important industries when shit hits the fan. Looking at you STM and Nordic!
