Tariff Isn’t A Dirty Word; Wars With Iran and China Are Inherently Unwinnable
For years, China has led the world into a fairer trade system through huge investments in soft power capital. Through the creation of BRICS, China and its partners proved that the days of the IMF and US-dominated trade agreements are over, that a nation need not sell the soul of its people to Western companies and US dollars. This is why we do not stand a chance in a trade war with China. Where our international trade policy is based on whims from different Capitalist administrations and their benefactors, China’s is based on a scientific, practiced understanding of how global trade politics work; where we have a stable of supplicant stooges, they have the brightest minds in economics who have trained in the best universities across the world. The likes of speculators like Elon Musk, Peter Navarro, or Scott Bessent are no match for a purpose-built national policy aimed against the antics of them and their ilk.
Iran Is The Only Adult In The Room
While Israel demands the last word, creating a secondary obfuscation of “retaliation” against reactions from Iran, the arrogant petulance of the Western project in the Middle East is made painfully clear. From their perspective, there is no premise of self-defense against their own aggressions, no idea of justified retaliation except in their own interests; if the empire kills a foreign official on their own soil, it is the cost of business and that cost will be subsidized.
