    Definitely the small p in politics. Least I hope I read his comments correctly because if so was more amusing than I thought it’d be.

    Far as I can tell, especially with Iran negotiations, the US is not a serious political actor so makes sense to have a dig at them. Also show them the door when they start fucking around like it’s a condo development or a way to get a kickback for a deal. No these are economies of countries where millions of people depend upon things.

    But that’s never how Trump and Co see it, this is just their get rich quick scene and fuck everyone else. Also fuck over everyone else who said they are wrong.

    Newsflash, they’re always wrong so they can go get fucked by a moose’s antlers as far as I care.

    Just wish their populace would do something. Over 300 million people mostly doing the same old thing while the orange guy pillages billions of dollars, cool cool cool… picks on a country not even 1/10 of the population…cool. Starts wars coating billions, causing a worldwide energy crisis…cool.

    When is it not cool anymore US citizens? Yes I know many have tried but as a population you’re collectively saying, yes fascism is cool. We don’t need an orange Reich next.

    Surely it doesn’t matter what’s in the trade deal because Trump/USA cannot be trusted to stick to it?

      They should be public anyway because the people of both countries should get a say before their governments make a decision of that magnitude.

        About 60% don’t have enough of a grasp of the situation to make an informed decision, and those who do will be split between protecting their interests and having a balanced agreement that doesn’t favor either group too much. None of that will change by disclosing beforehand or having a say, but if it’s disclosed first with a release that both sides agree on, at least it will be harder for those involved to lie about it. Of course they will still lie about it, just like politicians did about brexit, but it will be easier to point out the liars after.
