    What are we, the protection racket? Defend the nerd from the bully and then demand the lunch money for ourselves? FFS, can nobody be good for the sake of what’s right and won’t without expectation of a return?

      America never did it because it was right. That’s a happy side effect. It did it as its in its own interest. Just like with israel, which now leads to Palestinian genocide. They aren’t moral decisions being made.

      So Trump is making it seem like it will save the USA money but it won’t. It will cost much more in the long run. I wodner how many Chinese votes will be won and lost, or other Asian votes, knowing it risks destabilizing the region.
