And this: Russia warns of retaliatory duties vs US goods | American Metal Market

P.S. I didn't know that the USA import more than they export to Russia.

better YOU explain me how trades are made you honk.

are this orders from governments or from companies ????

a negative trade balance tells me only that you guys spend your money in exploding bombs and you do not have any competitive products.
you have to buy them from outside because you do not even understand the most simple rules of a global market.

but why shall i tell you what happens ? YOU WILL SEE IT !

america has been bankrupt for decades and the only reason why this is still going well is because the dollar still trades a lot of goods and if you would change that, the world will be sitting on a pile of worthless paper.

but even that will pass and then you can wipe your ass with a few 100 dollar notes if you can no longer buy toilet paper for it.

Bingo.

Now tell us why we should take on more debt via trade imbalance.

bingo? he's exclaiming USA is bankrupt if not for being saved by selling debt. That's like dumb nazi thommy dumb.


the rest of his nonsense he spewed was even dumber anti-American gibberish that completely veers from reality.

you're welcome. The biggest economy on the planet buys ruskie shit in spite of your trying to destroy democracy. congrats on being dumb.

how do you do that with baseball? does the better team have to play with their eyes connected so that the lame can win?

dumb nazi thommy has no clue about reality or economics. He thinks trade balance is tit for tat either good or bad. dumb nazi thommy doesn't comprehend things like business cycles of countries or places like hong kong who need to run a neg trade balance. Or especially countries like China who manipulate currencies by buying US treasuries to maintain their exports with a weak domestic economy.



Top U.S. goods exports
Food, beverage and feed: $133 billion. ...
Crude oil, fuel and other petroleum products: $109 billion. ...
Civilian aircraft and aircraft engines: $99 billion. ...
Auto parts, engines and car tires: $86 billion. ...
Industrial machines: $57 billion.
Passenger cars: $53 billion. ...

He has a point, although bankrupt is obviously not correct. We are extremely indebted is the more realistic problem.

Why are we indebted? We take in less than we spend. The United States avoids balance of payment issues because the dollar is the world's reserve currency. That won't last. When it goes - boom! Better to prepare now...

Or, we could talk about idiotic baseball analogies where for some reason the baseball team is required to play with the other team.

IMO, it's overblown Jim. US trade balance has changed very little since the early 90s.

Moreover, running a neg trade balance is not necessarily bad either. Heck, a positive trade balance could very bad, and has proven so before. And a neg balance can be good, like canada runs a trade imbalance and in return their standard of living is higher.

Possibly new? ...but, old 60's American muscle cars? No way. They'd be sold in a day no matter how many you had.

Guy does more with a twitter account for his country before 6 am than Trudeau does for Canada in a year.

It's not the gremlin that people pretend that it is and you are correct - it depends on the situation, the economy and the timing. That doesn't change anything, though. In the end, you can't do it - unless you are the global reserve currency.

Did you just call him a honkey?
You've been watching reruns of The Jeffersons haven't you? :1orglaugh

Left - Trump is fucking everything up
Left - Trump is the worst President ever
Left - Trump is a retard
Left - Everyone on the Right is a racist and needs to be out of government
Left - Impeach Trump

Also Left - Hey man, why are you making these deadly political mistakes that will cause you all to be voted out of government and allow Democrats to take the White House, House and Senate in 2020??... stop it all right now!

As with Bush, Democrats are once again arguing that they lost to both the worst and the dumbest human being to ever run for office.... never realizing what that says about their own party and themselves.

Another 8 years of absurd political theater.
LOL

I read this morning that washing machines, dryers, and fridges have jumped 20% because of this. #winning.

Good. Maybe GE will get its lazy ass off the floor.

Where exactly Russians are "trying to destroy democracy"? In Syria? Maybe in the Ukraine? Can you be a bit more specific on this statement?

P.S. You definitely need to make an MRI or you brain...

Aww shucks

EU ready to open talks with U.S. to fix trade row: Malmstrom
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-u...-idUSKBN1JH0H4

But that's not what my OP was about. Why are you changing the subject?

That's cute!

WhatAboutIsm....

... and my OP had no outrage about Trump. And it's not that Trudeau can't make a deal: Trump unilaterally changed the terms of the existing deal.


But sweetie-poo, I'm not outraged at Trump's sudden Trade War (not yet anyway), so your question makes no sense, and tries to change the subject.


Why are you calling him that? Why would you call anyone that? That's not very nice. If you disagree with him or anyone, say so, but don't call them a Nazi. First, it's the lowest of the low, and second, it's just plain lazy.

No, he doesn't.


Yes.


Yes.

No. He used to be smart and a really good speaker - just search youtube for Trump in the 80's and 90's and even on Howard Stern. Today he seems to suffering from some form of Dementia. And then there's this: https://www.statnews.com/2017/05/23/...le-interviews/

No.
Different people on the left, disagree with different people on the right, about some things, but not all things. You are attempting to put all lefties into a single basket to make it easier for you to understand the world, but you are ignoring the details. You probably bought an HD or 4K TV to enjoy and appreciate the details of an image, the differences in color, etc. Why not apply that same thinking to people and enrich yourself a little?


Impeach, remove, expel yes, if he broke the law, colluded with Russia, violated the 25th or any other amendment. It's the law.

I call dumb nazi thommy dumb nazi thommy because he is dumb nazi thommy. He's otr exclaiming that people who voted for trump should be rounded up, contained, killed. He's recommended gassing people who disagree with him and has threatened me with physical violence for pointing that out to him.

that's why I call dumb nazi thommy dumb nazi thommy.

pick an article and read

https://www.google.com/search?q=russ...hrome&ie=UTF-8

Wait, the guy who starts threads like "all trump supporters are fucking idiots" is lecturing me on dealing with a bully?


:error

The first article says: "Russia aggressively tried to hobble U.S. democracy during the 2016 election". Sounds like a paranoid schizophrenic nonsense or like a stupid joke. Are you mentally ill or just a cheap comedian? Do you really believe in that or you're simply trolling me?

1) How exactly Russia may affect the US election? Are the States that weak and every country in the World with an Internet access can destroy your regime? I would like to get some of the shit that you smoke, dude.

2) Since when the USA is democracy? You are REPUBLIC (google for this word) and educate yourself, a victim of the US education: https://www.diffen.com/difference/Democracy_vs_Republic

You don't even have a direct voting system. God, how stupid you are...

Trump supporters will spin it as a positive :2 cents:

:evil-laug:evil-laug:evil-laug

dumb ruskie, I never stated our republic is a democracy. you should learn english if you're going to troll an english based board.

of course ruskie denies trying to destroy democracy, that's what ruskie does.

How exactly somebody can destroy something you don't have? How exactly somebody can destroy the current regime in the States? Why you - Americans can't destroy ours then? Are you so weak?

https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/...20110318120941

My Russian friend, many Americans refer to America as a Democracy because they live in a state, run as a Representative Democracy, within the Republic, they aren't referring to America as a "Direct Democracy" which is how you, as a foreigner sipping Rogaska Crystal and nibbling on Syrniki morsels , is interpreting it.

i would never expect ruskie to understand democracy. Or english.

Links? Proof?


I took it back, and yes I am. If I can take back that statement, can't you? No? I guess I'm stronger than you...


But he does - he does understand English. Do you understand Russian? No? So he's smarter than you?

How long before you start tossing the old' N-word around?

Mark, I don't need to proof jack shit to you. I post what I want to post and certainly don't need clearance from a canadian nitwit to do so.

you haven't figured it out yet, I couldn't give 1 single crap what you think.

you're dumber than you think I think you are.

but since I like to rub dumb nazi thommy's nose in his own bullying dumb nazi thommy bullshit, I'll post a few good dumb nazi thommy posts.

here's where dumb nazi thommy threatened to beat me up for calling him out for coming across like a nazi bully

here's where dumb nazi thommy posts that people who he disagrees with make him vomit because they are free to walk around

here's where dumb nazi thommy suggests people who disagree with him should be given guns so they can commit suicide for disagreeing with him

here's where dumb nazi thommy posts that people who disgree with him should be burned in the streets.
here's where dumb nazi thommy suggest a nazi gas for someone who disagrees with him

Go Fuck Yourself mark.

//////////

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

americans talking about democracy is hilarious...your "2 party only" system that is 1 party away from a dictatorship and your lobby bullshit give the USA a plutocracy status...

elections in the USA are like a yacht race where only the very very rich can take part...and then you can bribe the judges :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

there is nothing to add !

but if they had teached you that fish is pork you would always believe that your version is the right one.

LINK

Because they are dumb victims of the US education and they don't understand the basic things like difference between democracy and republic. Accept my sincere condolences.

Indeed :2 cents:

P.S. Add to this millions of people like Bladewire who continuously whines about dictator Trump and his crazy laws, but believes that his country is a democracy :upsidedow

I don´t think that he believes that.
especially people who did not vote for trump have seen in the last elections that the will of the majority of individuals (what is the basic meaning of democracy) is not taking place in this system.

you can ask many people in many other countries the question if they believe that they live in a democracy and the most will say yes.

actually only 4,4% of the world population is living in a 100% democracy according the democracy index. I think one of the major problems in US is that nobody without a lot of money and many lobby connections can ever be a POTUS.

in most cases the biggest bandits of all have the biggest chance to get elected as you see perfectly at the moment where the wrongest available person made it.

why does the USA even have elections? :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

The US citizens have voted for Clinton, but Trump won the elections. How come? The one must be real stupid to believe that could be possible in a democratic country (power of majority). Even the Ukraine is more democratic country than the USA.

I don't understand why all these losers blame Russia for the US peasant (aka indirect) election system. It was invented there, not here. We (Russians) haven't forced them to use that anti-democratic system, just like we haven't forced them to use stone-age measure system and calculate anything in horse asses. We haven't allowed their cops to kill people and their pets just for fun. We haven't forced them to start all those wars around the globe. We haven't stole their free education and free medicine. We have no relation to the overpriced medical services and Obamacare which sucks out their money for nothing.

2 dyna mo, Bladewire and other victims of the US education: blame your own government for all this shit, not me.

and at the same time the USA does everything possible to influence elections in other countries...everything they accuse russia of they do in 100-s of other countries and have been doing this since ww2...they really really really hate democracy :2 cents:

European tariffs are up.

http://trade.ec.europa.eu/doclib/doc...doc_156909.pdf

Fuck they went to town on these, big list. Canada and China up next then India and Turkey

For those not in the USA there's got to be some easy money to be made from this.

Yes he is. I really think he believes he is cute when he does his de-construction of people's posts.

Like where he calls 70 Million Americans fucking idiots then takes it back and thinks taking it back should be fine.

Mark, Rosanne took her tweet back how come you haven't come out in her defense? She is being the bigger person no?

Oh look. You did EXACTLY what i said over and over that you do.

You insult people.
You call people names.
You provoke people and offend them.

Once you get called out and beat down, you feign an apology and then talk about your apology to make sure everyone knows it happened and the real intent... to let people know how superior you are to them.

Because yeah, if anything demonstrates sincere regret and remorse, it's saying "sorry you made me so mad that I hit you, i guess you're just not man enough to agree with me on that" as an apology.

You're think your a better person because you act like a cunt, say what you want, do it over and over and then say "oops" and let us all know that anyone not accepting your bullshit is a bad person. ... fucking sociopath.

Jesus.

Fucking idiot.

(now waiting for your usual "it was just a joke... geez!" response, where you give yourself another pass and demonstrate your superior tolerance and patience and moral superiority while you again imply that you're the victim again)

wow, look at all the anti-Americans trying to gang up with dumb nazi thommy.

heil 5 guys.

he's too busy being captain save a nazi, defending dumb nazi thommy.

They (the insidious anti-americans) also trying to steal your democracy. They have forced you to ignore the democratic majority which has voted for Clinton. They are raping you in all holes with Obama care. They stole your free medicine and free education. Your country is in danger, man... It's time to protect the motherland the american way!

https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon....L._SL1500_.jpg

:thumbsup

the really really dumb part of all the anti-Americans is the fact they choose to hang out here with Americans.

How dumb do you have to be to choose to hang out with the very people you point your finger at and whine and complain about incessantly?

dumb nazi thommy dumb.

You mean you CAN'T prove jack shit to me. Maybe, You're calling someone here a bad name because you can't argue your point and you're frustrated because of it?

Or, maybe you give up and resort to name calling because you know you're losing the argument and are either too lazy to try harder, or too weak to admit you're wrong?

You should. Calling someone a Nazi is pretty bad. Maybe send him a small apology then carry on with your points? Just an idea from your next-door neighbour.

And you're smarter than this.

Peace bro'.
