Summary

China, Japan, and South Korea agreed to jointly respond to U.S. tariffs after holding their first economic dialogue in five years, Chinese state media reported.

The meeting focused on reinforcing regional trade ties and countering potential disruptions from new U.S. tariffs expected to be announced by Trump on “liberation day.”

The three countries committed to strengthening supply chain cooperation, improving export control dialogue, and pursuing a high-level trilateral free trade agreement.

They also discussed mutual interests in semiconductor trade amid ongoing tensions with the U.S. and among themselves.

Aside from fucking up our economy, this pushes some of our biggest trading partners into the arms of our biggest geopolitical rival.

Not since the three day special military operation has a country weakened themselves so thoroughly on the international stage.

And I’m happy for it, because we suck and have for a long time.

I’m unhappily right there with you. My dad would be ashamed right now… I mean the person my dad told me he was and wanted me to emulate, would feel shame for the person he actually is and all the values he’s failed to stand up for.

Got disillusioned with shit back around ‘99 or so, got tired of rotwing arrogant ignorance, and having lived in a former Soviet republic for several years decide that the US needed its comeuppance. Now I get to watch it all happen. Maybe a good ole fashioned occupation by another country will finally break the backs of the ignorant and lazy for a while.

There isn’t a country in the world that could occupy the US. The best option for the word is to just separate us like a cancer, and just forget the US exists like a “dead zone” or something.

Theoretically Canada and Mexico could both lets say China use them as a staging point. Us would in my opinion fall in a few days and the US is actually doing its best to aggro all three of them.

Im sorry, but no. Hard no, absolutely not.

  1. US would have home field advantage.
  2. US has ~350 million people, and even more guns.
  3. the US is also absolutely huge, creating logistics and movement issues.
  4. China still can’t really project power yet. 5)China has an aging population with less youth, meaning that huge population won’t be that useful for invasion, while almost all 350 million Americans would be on def.

It would seriously be more effective to just isolate us in a box and move on with the world.

Yep, hang back and watch as ramped corruption takes hold and guts the American military (Along with everything else), just at it gutted the Russian military (And society).

Plus we’ll be fighting ourselves. If someone invades, we’re fighting them.

All the US guns in circulation I think would be useless against actual military weapons/vehicles, it would be air strikes against a guy with a rifle. (maybe hit and run tactics after the fact red dawn style is when they’d be of more use).

Yeah it’s big but missiles and artillery have stupid ranges now and the Chinese really aren’t lacking in numbers.

The advantages I’d give the US are the F22 should be better than any fighter China has but the J-20 isn’t that far away and the F22 hasn’t a lot of missiles.

Also it would be very hard to move that amount of troops and equipment without the US catching on but definetly not impossible, shipping containers could probably do it.

Last advantage is I don’t think China would have any interest in actually invading the US they’d just sell their dollar reserves if they wanted to do serious damage.

The US also has the first and second biggest air forces.

Canada will respond Wednesday too. Could be where the “find out” phase really kicks into gear for America.
