USA is fucked, it cannot stop China's rise

The drmicrat grass roots did not choose Hilary or Biden.
The front runner at both times was Bernie Sanders. But he was told by top hierarchy to stand down. And make way for the chosen candidate.
And Kamala was picked without having elected.
Hillary and Biden are obsolete. Bernie is a socialist, no one wants him. Kamala was there by default. My pick would've been Mark Kelly.
 
Everyone has their views. The only way to settle things is to wait and see what happens. Thread bookmarked for future reference.

trump will grab any modicum of “agreement” in the geneva talks on trade and tariffs with tiongcock and announce a win. stocks will bounce next week. keep powder dry and look for opportunities.
 
u guys wasting time debating on the remarks of a conman and a big mouth?.........
USA was great 50 years ago, now its just ......usa.......
 


donald dump's arse got :FU::FU: by his asian allies..


According to this video Trump just "check mated" the chinks.

For every video you find that says Trump is done for I can find one that stridently claims that Trump is the biggest winner the world has ever seen. :D

 
Can't imagine to use and type Chinese in work sia. Tat would be very difficult in business level which most of the china companies bosses love these. Chinese words in sinkie mostly use for typing to fck chickens.
 
The dems have led their country down. Fielding Biden and then Kamala (two very "unelectable" morons. A word commonly used by @disconsolate:biggrin:). When compared to them and their very flawed policies of : men in womens' sports, DEI hires, liberal and crazy immigration and so on, Trump is a breath of fresh air. Because of their fuckedupness. Trump won by default.

Republicans are no better. They allowed their party to be hijacked by Trump, in order to stay relevant and to run the government. How could they not able to find a suitable candidate, other than that orange clown??
they chose a felon conman, don't blame the dems or republicans. it's their choice they want to go down the toilet.
 

Dollar Faces $2.5 Trillion ‘Avalanche’ of Asian Sales, Jen Says​

Takeaways NEW​

The dollar may face a $2.5 trillion “avalanche” of selling as Asian countries unwind their stockpile of the world’s reserve currency, according to Stephen Jen.

Asian exporters and investors may have amassed an “extremely large” pile of dollars through the years, widening the region’s trade surplus with the US, Eurizon SLJ Capital’s Jen and Joana Freire wrote in a note on Wednesday.

As a US-led trade war deepens, some Asian investors might repatriate chunks of funds or ramp up levels of protection against a weakening dollar — potentially triggering an exodus from the world’s reserve currency.

SINGAPORE: The Singapore dollar could continue to strengthen against the US dollar in the coming months, despite a recent surge in the currency pair amid signs of tariff de-escalation, analysts said.

They also said that parity between the two currencies is possible in the future, with one economist saying it could happen “in our lifetimes”.

Their comments come as the Singapore dollar hovers around 1.29 against the US dollar. The Singapore dollar reached a 10-year high against the greenback last year, at around 1.28.

Mr Christopher Wong, an FX strategist at OCBC, noted that the Singapore dollar has strengthened about 5.8 per cent so far this year.

“This was due to a sharp USD sell-off and signs of tariff de-escalation,” he said on Wednesday (May 7), adding that hopes for a US-China dialogue and signs of progress on possible trade deals have reinforced the “de-escalation thematic”. Other Asian currencies, like the Taiwan dollar, have also experienced a lift.


The US dollar has been weaker on the back of tariffs and softness internally in terms of expected growth, said Mr Saktiandi Supaat, head of FX research at Maybank.

“We observe that there is a diversification away from the USD and the SGD appears to be one of the beneficiaries of this theme,” he said, adding that the Monetary Authority of Singapore’s (MAS) policy stance is also responsible for the steady appreciation of the Singapore dollar.

Indonesia will cut its fuel imports from Singapore and source supplies from the US and Middle Eastern countries instead, according to the country’s energy minister.

Southeast Asia’s largest economy will look to gradually eliminate its shipments of oil products from Singapore, which account for more than half its imports, Energy Minister Bahlil Lahadalia told reporters on Friday. Purchases will be switched to suppliers in the US and Middle East as Indonesia seeks lower prices and a “better balance” in the changing global geopolitical environment, Lahadalia said.
