Part of me hopes that other countries that have also had some populist fascist groups making waves recently would see how bad we've fucked up and not go down the same path. But we sure as hell didn't seem to learn anything from Brexit about isolationism

That’s not a problem I’ll just go ask one of my historical trade partohnoholyfuckwgatdidijustdo.
Never fight a trade war

Do they?

Delicious. Simply delicious. Trump didnt just pick up the gun, load the gun, aim the gun at his foot, fire the gun, claim it would make him run better and fall over. He then got back up and did it all again with the other foot still claiming it would make him run better.
It takes a truly special kind of stupid to be at Trumps level.
It is all building to him putting the gun to his head with the promise it will make him stronger than ever. He will retaliate to these retaliations because it is all he understands. All his life he has just ignored or run head first at problems planning to solve them in the moment with his superior mind and it has never worked, and he never learns. More than that he never sees it as failed, and that is what so much of the US voted for and the world saw it.

Tungston and indium (at least) from those mentioned in the article. Plus graphite, rare earths, and nickle.

Genuinely never thought I'd join the war on China on the side of China.

It’s not a big deal. Rare earth minerals aren’t that rare.
It’s the refining of rare earth minerals which is energy intensive and causes a great deal of pollution.
It was nice that China was destroying their own environment and spending the capital to build power plants. Now we will have to invest the capital to do it ourselves.
-
Canada should also institute export licensing rules on critical minerals too

Aren't you already seen as the 51st state?
I’ve been seen as a giant baby-snatching predator by loopy crows defending their nest. That doesn’t mean I am one.
At this point, most of the world is getting past thinking what Trump and his cronies see them as, as it’s likely to change dramatically from hour to hour.
But we might get fed up with the noisy crow.

He still has cards to play to make himself heard. He hasn't insulted anyone attire yet.

Most Americans think that’s fucking stupid

Trump isn't stupid, at least not that stupid. Your analogy would work better if instead of shooting his own foot he's shooting Uncle Sam's foot. You act confused because you think he works for Uncle Sam. He does not. He's a Russian asset: his job is to make sure Uncle Sam never walks again.
When you look at it that way, all his actions make perfect sense. He works for Putin and he's doing a good job.

He's got the punch buggy, no punch back rules.

"Oh that could never happen here!"
This is the FO part of the American Exceptionalism FA.
I quite literally remember having teachers in elementary school teaching about the holocaust/hitler and asking the class if if they could foresee this happening in the US. Every kid shoot their head and chuckled assuredly, how absurd to even consider.
I still remember the look on Mrs. Begasto's face of "oh yeah? so confident, I know something you don't, I know the world in a way you are entirely naive to." I didn't understand why she felt that way, but I could tell she was certain about something I didn't get. The closer we edge to a fearful, uneducated public thinking a bully king is what would be good for the country and the world the more I find myself thinking about Mrs. Begasto's worried smirk.

Aldous Huxley, George Orwell, Margaret Atwood, and others like them weren't super fortune tellers or anything. They just studied humankind enough to know what could happen. And we Americans by-and-extra-large are too arrogant to learn those lessons.

And it totally is. Stupid, and traitorous.

He can be both: working for Putin and a complete moron.
You don’t threaten to sue the school you attended if they your grades are released unless you know they are nothing to be proud of. Also, that professor or teacher that said Trump was the dumbest student he had to teach in all his years.
