  • I think it’s fair to say most people didn’t know shit about tarrifs until recently, then got told “no, tariffs are paid by the IMPORTER, not the exporting country”. The word “tariff” right now is assumed to mean “import tariff” as that’s how the word is commonly being used, so if you mean “export tariff” it may be a good idea to explicitly say it instead of getting upset when people don’t know what you mean.



















  • I would hardly use AUKUS as an example of Macron’s failing, rather an example of Australia sucking US cock for no reason. The AUKUS deal even blindsided most of Australia’s own defence force. It is a fucking stupid deal, agreed to by some fucking stupid people and signed by Australia’s then fucking stupid Prime Minister. The whole thing stinks of back room shinanigans, will most likely result in zero submarines ever, but unfortunately no diplomacy on France’s behalf would have made any difference to the end result.
