“I keep making the tariffs worse, and when you agreed to do what I wanted for border security, I made the tariffs worse, and if you don’t do what I want, I’ll make the tariffs worse, and if you start working together to negate how bad the tariffs are, I’ll make the tariffs worse!”
If this only moves in one direction regardless of what anyone does, prepare for the entire world to just act like you do not exist at all.
Yes, what you said is fair as well. I think we have reached a mutually positive conclusion then. Have a good day.
I understand what you are saying, but context matters as well, and has superseded bureaucracy depending on the situation historically.
Poland never formally declared war on Germany in response to the invasion on September 1, 1939. Do you think badly of Poland for this because they didn’t “properly” declare war before trying to fight back?
I am doubtful, because the context matters to you in understanding what they were doing, and why they were doing it.
What does “proper” to any country engaging with the US matter if the US ignores it and then fucks them over for doing it?
It was proper of Canada to uphold the trade agreement reached in Trumps first term, the US reneged on this and is dropping tariffs hand over fist regardless, and now no one is a winner.
Doing anything properly necessitates two parties can agree on something at a minimum and uphold that.
The US is an un-agreeable, improper, traitorous entity, therefore nothing can be done “properly”.
The US is breaking a shitload of their agreements globally with everyone and their dog at the minute, they can get fucked.
Literally banning children’s imaginations.
It’s when people try to have LLM’s generate code and then try to assemble the pieces produced into semi-functional, usually really bad, software I think.
