    “Here’s a tariff! Fuck you!”

    We don’t trust you anymore. We won’t buy from you

    “Noooo, but you must!”

    Fuck 'em.

    According to two of the sources, Rubio said any exclusion of U.S. companies from European tenders would be seen negatively by Washington,

    Ah ah ah ! “Would be seen negatively”… Ah ah ah !

    We want Greenland. We think you are all worthless freeloaders. We wish to kill your businesses with tariffs because you dared to sell us things (and we don’t care how bad that will be for our people. My voters are too stupid and brainwashed to care and the opposition doesn’t matter)… Also buy our weapons!

    They say this after taunting Germany last month on a visit in Munich where they basically said you‘d have to have military power to be sovereign.

    Maybe they should object to the reasons that made us buying European in the first place.

    Sounds like the Defense Industry doesn’t want anybody upsetting the apple cart.

    I wonder if these powerful businesses could come up with a solution? 🤔
