Trump Targets Annual 8% Defense Budget Cuts Through 2030

[Shaquille Oatmeal]

OK, well good luck to you waiting on Brazil becoming a superpower.

When you need a ride to catch your flight to India, let me know.

None of the BRICS nations need to become superpowers.
I said the US will stay the sole superpower for the foreseeable future.
But if you think the US is going to economically or militarily threaten or arm twist these nations for the long term, or if you think these nations can be ignored as rivals, you are wrong.
As an example, while Trump threatened 25% tariffs on Canada, he put only a 10% tariffs on China and no tariffs on India.
The US has a trade deficit of 583B with China and 46B with India.
Now the US is pursuing a bilateral trade deal with India.
Hence my comment that the US would resort to diplomacy and "it wont end well for them" is not true.

You've become Fredo, thinking there is a deal in it for you, but you're sadly mistaken.

You're in denial of what is actually happening, the threats and risks. Tell Trump to sit back and leave the process to work itself through. That's not how negotiations work.

PS. China was adamant for decades about limiting American investment. Now Chinese investment rivals American investment, while in Canada you can't buy a cup off coffee without paying a US owner.

But this is actually all we need to know about you. You believe in being a 51st state, you believe there is a deal in it for you.

You've already went off the cliff.

Just silly.
