.............. no complaints without it. 😁

............. all that Xi wants is a 'read' on Trump re: Taiwan? Trump's rhetoric and his actions re: Ukraine, allies, NATO have def emboldened China. Strategically, the Malacca Str is crucial to China - chokepoint? If Trump wants to send a clear signal it would likely be by deploying USN there - we'll see. Ditto arms sales for Taiwan. The world def does not want (2) nuclear powers confronting each other - and of course mix in NK. Trump is without a doubt not the man to be dealing with this situation - but then, he's 80 years old.

try Viagra. 😁

Forgive me for saying that u seem to be engaged in a busy but ultimately futile activity - great effort expended without making meaningful progress? 😁

re: :Taiwan doesn’t belong to China. It belongs to America Xi told Trump on Thursday that disagreement over Taiwan could send relations down a dangerous path and that 'Taiwan independence" and cross-Taiwan Strait peace are as "irreconcilable as fire and water"

And yet Carney is polling at 60 percent amongst Canadians and over 70 percent within the Party. Over half of Canadians believe PP is insincere and further, would be ashamed to call him Prime Minister. 😨 They say if it ain't broke don't fix it? Whatever Carney is doing, he needs to NOT fix it.

Likely the majority see Trump and Carney as two distinctly different individuals in terms of background and leadership styles. Trump is a businessman; (still?) everything seems to be transactional. Carney’s background is economics and his stature is derived from his tenure as the Gov. of the Bank of England. Carney’s leadership style is perceived to be thoughtful (not audacious) and measured – he communicates in a manner that is far more conducive to communicating ideas, concepts. Trump has a brash and confrontational style of leadership – using social media to communicate thoughts and opinions. Fair to say that his rhetoric is divisive and lacks diplomacy? Trump will largely be remembered for his unique style in ruling while Carney will likely be remembered for his tenure as Governor of BoE and his ability (or lack) of governing during a period of national crisis and divisiveness. re: " It's just a simple truth. Trump has even said that carney is the guy he wants to deal with?" Indeed, it is crafted for the simple minded? 😄

................ I believe they've been saying that about the Chinese for thousands of year. Indeed .......... a shooting war is a possibility ............ concerning .......... but not as concerning as having 'bone spurs' i/c of strategy and his clown car cabinet afraid to talk truth-to-incompetent-power. disastrous! On the other hand Trump is a coward and we can only hope he will live down to the title of TACO. China's made the deal, relax ................... Taiwan is fk'd. ..............the U.S. was a great power, it is in decline ...............no longer the 'shining light'. more the pity.

...........ur opinion? True ignorance for sure. 😄

oh, I don't think Canucks are worried ........ in the least. Best u worry about ur benevolent leader and his non-strategy to deal with the slants ..... .......... oh and soon😁 ................ dial 2 for English.

............. well, I suppose the Kanadians would say he can keep on caring .................. and hoping. 🙃

RE: What i support is prosperity, rule of law, and common sense. ............ hallelujah ........my arguments haven't been in vain convincing ya to quit drinking the Kool-Aid. Proud of ya, sport! 😁 ......... yeah, but I was responding to someone with little value.

..................... does Trump know this? 🙄

when there is something worth responding to, I'll consider it. I don't like to keep the 'others' waiting. 😁

........U.S. exports about 3 trillion. That is a lot of jobs ....................and by extension political clout. Huge - be proud. Oh, I do care.

🙄 ........... are we at that state - parsing text?

..............listen, u can't convince a believer of anything - goes x10 for MAGA; for their belief is not based on evidence, it is based on a deep seated tribal need to believe. To be fair, the far-Left are similar. But to constantly state, 'all Left BAD, all RIGHT good' is totally asinine. I'm hoping in time and some education u will be able to put down the Kool aide and become objective. I know, it takes courage - be brave, grasshopper! 😁

Exports amount to around 4 trillion USD? Any idea how many jobs that is?

'The left is all about hatred and violence these days" haha .............. just cut to the chase - however, 😁repetition does nothing for u or ur arguments.

OMG, dude - I'm living rent free in yer head. 😁 I luv it - some guilt to kick'n a cripple tho.

............ they say the slants are inscrutable as well .....................all agree Trump is transparent tho ...... his style in negotiating is to give up the farm before the negotiation begins. ............... Xi be like, 'what a jack wagon'. 😁

............. fairly sure this wasn't standard protocol ............. however, Trump's arrival was carefully nuanced - successfully, to the slant-Nation (World)

The so-called, global economy refers to the interconnected system of economic activities that occur worldwide, encompassing production, trade, and consumption of goods and services thru export / import. Are u one of those that believe the monoplane is a fad?

Kimmel didn't advocate for anyone to murder Trump .................. 'glowing like an expectant widow' is NOT advocating murder. Sorry counselor, wouldn't hold up under cross. 😁 Elementary school children would understand this! 🙄

Biden died years ago. 😁 I'm not the pres?
