Farmers are going to be extra fuuuucked at this point.
China is a net importer of food, energy, and farmng inputs; they are very dependent on the global market. They may survive a US-China trade war, but a global recession is gonnaess that up as much as the rest of us. Russia might survive, as they are already cut off, but there are plenty of issues with their war time economy.
Russia might not. Oil prices are crashing which is ruining their only remaining reliable income stream.
Pretty sure China is the only country that could withstand a drawn out fight. At the very least the country that could last the longest.
At this point it’s globally, and there’s no hope the Americans can come out in a position anywhere near where they were before. This is not good.
Pfft. The U.S. has been around for over 2 centuries. How long has China been around?
With its current governmental system? About 75 years.
I always like how people consider modern day countries as if they are the same entity from hundreds of years ago (or longer). Yes there is a through line, but the land China currently occupies has been many different things over human history.
tRump is entering the find out stage, does anyone think he will notice?
