It's one thing to argue with someone. It's another to make shit up like that about them.

You are a psychopath. Get help.
I'm not the one on the verge of calling for the genocide of Americans because I didn't like an off the cuff comment made by Trump.

Anyway, I've had my fill of antagonizing you and watching you go full blown unhinged lunatic mode for the evening.

Again you are lying. Not one thing I said was a lie.

Everything I said your country is doing is true.

I will defend my country. I will defend Canada from your country's attacks as well. Canada is our Ally and sister country in the Commonwealth. They have done nothing to deserve the shit your dictator is throwing at them.
 
You still haven't address the points I raised twice... because you can't. It's all true. I'll post it a third time.
 
For the third time:

Let's break this down for the dummies.

Did Trump threaten Canada with annexation and impose punitive tariffs on them to weaken them.
Did Trump threaten to Annex Greenland?
Did Trump impose tariffs on Australia with whom they have a surplus with and whom they get free trade (tariff free) with under AUSFTA?
Did Trump rock the world financial system and nearly crash it then flip flop on them because he could see the bond market was crashing.
 
Thumbpicker, you have become unhinged. No American holds animosity over any Australian on this board (other than me and Monkey, Toyko Dec.24 1988). Frankly, to even suggest that I would attack an Australian citizen over an international political squabble, I would find ridiculous. Because I could singlehandedly kill multiple Australian men in a confrontation, easily. Please just calm down and let's find our way through this.

No I haven't. Is what I said in the post above yours true or not? Who then is unhinged?

I will suggest as result of the points I raised above your post that your leader is unhinged and a lot of people here are what I'd liken to China's "wolf warriors"... Dog whistlers and blind followers of Trump.

I'll take a stab at it - but please know I am no expert. I'm a retired Bell Company employee.

The annexation thing, even by pundit standards, was more of a joke than anything. He joked about it. He got a rise. He joked about it some more. He made some good points about how it could be beneficial to each Country. I don't think it is anything to get overly excited about. If tanks start rolling north across the border, I will reconsider.

As far as the tariffs on Canada, it was my understanding that US imposed a 25% tariff on steel and aluminum with the idea of driving more production for the US - not to weaken Canada. The remining products are at 10% IIRC. Canada replied with their own tariffs on U.S. goods, including orange juice, peanut butter, wine, spirits, beer, coffee, etc., to the tune of $30B. I understand Canada will expand the tariffs to cover an additional $125 billion worth of products. Plus, the US trade aspect is pretty small compared to Australia's biggest trading partner - China.

Regarding Greenland, I think it was a similar situation regarding the Canadian 'annexation' no? Let's ask the people of Greenland what they think. I saw people saying they didn't care and that it could be a benefit to them. We and they would then have nice strategic land mass to protect us AND Canada from the likes of Russia, China, North Korea, Iran, etc.

Yes, Trump imposed a 10% tariff on goods imported from Australia. "Trump cited "trade barriers" such as Australia's biosecurity laws - singling out a ban on the import of US beef - as the reason for what he called a "reciprocal tariff". As I mentioned the other day in this thread or another one, AUS trades iron ore to the US at 155M annual clip. AUS trades iron ore to China at a $70B annual clip. Then there are some that say, the US - China trade situation could be a boon for Australia, as China looks for new markets. Hell, pricing may go down on average for you guys.

I'm pretty sure Trump knew what was going to happen to the markets. The market dropped due to uncertainty on all of this. That usually shakes out the people who shouldn't be trading anyway as they get scared easily. That and some things have a way of getting overly inflated. I actually like shake outs.
It helps my portfolio in the long term - which is all I care about. I could give a damn what happened yesterday or last week. Again, it is part of the art of the deal. Trump throws out a bunch of stuff, people freak out, he settles on more of a middle ground. That's kind of how it works. It is call negotiations. If you ask quietly and politely you get ignored. US is tired of being ignored and taken advantage of while other countries prosper on our backs.

In the end - you'll be fine. Go play your guitar and ride your Harley. No reason to get all riled up with a few on a guitar web site. :dunno:

@Thumbpicker - at least acknowledge I provided an answer even if you disagree. You asked 3 times.

Sheez :dunno:
Unfortunately he doesn't have the ability to talk and debate like a normal person. All he's able to do is rage out and threaten Americans.

I was going to reply to his questions with some thoughtful answers, but you pretty much covered anything I would have said; and likely more eloquently than me.

He's a twat muffin. Treat him accordingly. I'm past trying to be civil with some ass clown all the way around the world pearl clutching and threatening people because America wants to take care of itself for a change.
 
Listen to what my leader says. I'll follow him - not Trump.


Hmm, tariffs are bad. OK

Pretty much. He's made it to the same league as Hand-Truck Dan. It's more entertaining to point an laugh than engage in any kind of conversation. Watching the meltdown was pretty entertaining for sure. How unhinged do you have to be to start shitting on MM; one of the nicest dudes on this forum.

I gave him a last chance to show he was at least a decent human being. But he was content to dig his heels in and prove he's a failure at life. After that I was done. I'm pretty sure you caught most of that.
 
I always try to give someone the benefit of the doubt. You just never know what someone is going through. Loss of a family member. Mental issues. Addiction. Retirement savings wiped out :dunno:

But MM Nicky asked him for an apology, so right or wrong, Nicky felt slighted. IIRC, Tpicker's response was like a fake half apology and then a double down. Sorry @Thumbpicker - if I am remembering it incorrectly.

We all go through shit. I've been through shit in the last 4 weeks but I'm not going to use that as an excuse to rage at strangers on the fucking internet because I don't like what a country I don't even live in is doing.

He's a twat muffin....
