Which fucking moron chooses to wage war on all other major powers at once?

I hope we don't invade Canada.  We have a shitty track record with that.  Too damn cold.

I am trying to determine if what is happening has ever had any historic precedent.

When had it ever happened that a country chose to pick fights, simultaneously, with major opponents in all four cardinal directions?

To the east we have the EU. to the west we have China, to the north we have Canada and to the south we have Mexico.

We had a amazing run of 73 years during which we managed to not declare trade against any allies. That is bound to end.

Generations thousands of years hence will look back upon the United States and insist it was not a real country but a made up story to illustrate the stupidity of men.

I was onboard a ship this morning, chatting with the Captain while his holds were inspected.

"I don't understand," he said, "why are you guys raising tariffs on your friends? Doesn't your president unders--"

"No, Captain. He doesn't understand. That's the problem. It's always the problem with this guy."

"This is really bad, if you go forward with them," he said.

"I know, Captain. I know."

This particular vessel finished discharging a cargo of aluminum T-bars and ingots the other day and is going to load rice for export. I doubt there will be quite as many charters for aluminum cargoes going to the U.S. if our Buffoon-in-Chief continues to follow his alleged genius business instincts. Moron.
