America First = America Alone

[WTH_Progs?]

Suppose you are on a Basketball team and decide to take a “Me First” attitude. Your goal is to score as many points as you can. When your teammates complain, you say.....you are welcome to score as many points as you can too.

Sounds like a way to score more points

But what happens is you end up shooting every time you get the ball whether you have a shot or not. Your point total may go up at first, but eventually your teammates will stop passing you the ball.

Overall, your scoring will drop

Neat, only you're not accounting for the elephant in the room, which is they need us FAR AND AWAY more than we need them.

Thank God we have a POTUS who knows how to play the cards he's given. Former POTUS like Obama folded holding straight flushes.

Selfish play does not win

Fair Trade is not selfish. The others already don't pass the ball. DJT is trying to fix decades of incompetence. Just pulled Japan into reality. Winning.

Rightwinger knows this. He is just pretending he does not, because his agenda is based on weakening America.


For reasons I can't get him to admit.

Trump has never understood the concept of fair
To him, fair is.....He gets everything, you get nothing

The rest of the world is not buying it.......Our trade deficit is INCREASING

So your idea of "fair" is the US gets nothing and China gets everything. The increasing trade deficit is a great reason for having a trade war dumbass.

 

[Weatherman2020]

Good analogy.
When Wilt Chamberlain is playing on the girls high school team, Wilt should do what Wilt wants to do.

We are no longer Wilt Chamberlain economically

EU, China, Japan/S Korea all have game

We can’t play them all at once and expect to win. It is more desirable to have teammates

They are benefiting at our expense. That is them putting their interests first.

We all benefit from a larger pie

Now Trump has you Lefties pushing for jobs to be sent offshore along with all your other agendas.

The man is a political genius.

We have always accepted we trade on an international market
Why is our president tying our hands?

I like FAIR trade.

Not necessarily

Many of our businesses rely on foreign trade

You're not making sense. If the Trade deficit is something wrong, to slam Trump for it increasing, as you just did,



then that validates Trump's position that we need more balanced trade.



Do you just say whatever shit you think gives you an excuse to smear your enemies without any concern for what the words actually mean?


That was a rhetorical question. Of course that is what you do.

WTF, do you get out of being like this?

Who?

 

[lennypartiv]

If the NATO countries are going to be deadbeats who don't pay their bills, we're better off without them.

 

[Blues Man]

And you people sign treaties so the US will come to your aid.

The US is the only party to have invoked the ANZUS treaty. Over Vietnam, of all places. As though Vietnam had attacked you.

So when your sheep ranch that you call a country needs help the US should just leave you twisting in the wind.

Lol.... America is the World’s patrol car and ambulance. The rest of the starting four and bench may wag their finger at US being the team’s Michael Jordan out of continuous envy but when the game is on the line, we are the go to.

Thank you for the basketball analogy. I am looking for the rest of the “team” to do more for US. Capitulation from US after all we do anyway is not an option.

And then the team loses because the rest are weak players.

In any case, the world is not a baseball team, and of course we will place our interests above all others, as they also place theirs in the front.

This is where modern-day Democrats fail.

Bullshit, American conservatives may be the most inept diplomats the world has ever seen.

Your original argument is not about economy size. The US is relied upon first during global crisis with EU second. What is China doing for the rest of the world as a global citizen?

RW. I'm serious. Why are you like this? What are you getting out of this?


My goal here is to actually have real discussions with different people.


Yours seems to be to see how much of a dick you can be.


Is your life so crappy that that is your entertainment?


Have you looked into any more social forums, focused on less controversial topics?


Do you have any hobbies besides this?

America last = America alone

 

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

America First = America Alone

OF CORSE IT DOES.

We have no real allies. It is a farce.

There is no mutual benefit. It's all give and no take for us.

We have always been alone. Only the naive believe otherwise.
