China is ready to ‘eat bitterness’ in the trade war. What about the US?

We'll be just fine. We're not the dipshits making all that crap that's sitting in the ports.

First off, who is the ‘we’ here? This is a Canadian forum.

Next, consider another example of the bitterness diet. Three years ago Putin launched an entirely unnecessary invasion of his neighbour that he thought would end rapidly. Three years later Russia has suffered a vast number of killed and wounded and yet the war continues because one man wants it to. Next door the Grand Pooh-Bah runs a totalitarian state, controlling every aspect of life, that has been hit by tariffs from a foreign president. His party predecessors oversaw the deaths of millions of their citizens. I don’t have a crystal ball but I’m guessing he’s willing and able to wait a while.
