Just when you think the idiocy couldn’t get worse.

Good luck America! It’s not a dust bowl this time. It’s an orange turd that’s gonna ruin you.

    We have magnitudes more trade with China than the USA. We are one of the few countries that buy more USA stuff than we sell to them. The only reason to stick with the USA would be if we trust them for defence reasons. What’s happening in Ukraine means we can’t. So it would likely be an own goal for Trump as we’d have to choose China over USA. The libs would go nuts, due to racism. We’d be objectively worse off, as an unreliable defence partner is still a partner, but if we ditched trade with China, our economy would collapse overnight.

      America desperately needs us as a base in the South Pacific.

      America also desperately needs us to not side with China in terms of Iron and Coal should an actual war happen.

      Trump’s willingness to abandon their allies in the face of foreign aggression means we should seriously think before siding with the US.
