He didn't stop it because he still really really really wants to do tariffs, but he did fold. If he wanted to have a good round of negotiations usually you say 'These are the tariffs we are thinking of implementing in x months' which gives other countries time that's needed for negotiations, but Trump didn't want negotiations he wanted complete submission, hell Vietnam was like 'sure we get rid of everything' and the Trump government still didn't agree because reasons, I think they said VAT.

If he didn't want to do it why talk about manufacturing and how all that money from tariffs means they won't have to pay taxes and so on. Like the guy thinks tariffs are great and fun and so beautiful he'd kiss them if he could.

Then US treasury yields kept rising which meant money was rapidly leaving and suddenly 'oh those tariffs yeah we'll stop them oh and during the trading day yes, not announce it normally, yeah this is urgent, wait no it isn't this was all planned.'

Like the various people then would give conflicting info because this was totally planned.

What is wrong with you? Why do I need to push you on something so obvious if you are a german? Which I assume you are with a name like Ole.

And if you can't see why it is about this now, if you truly don't know and aren't just playing dumb. The laws have been applied solely against anything to the left of the most right wing shit. Do a climate protest at a summit? Get charged with terrorism. Apply this law against some people protesting a genocide but the pigs from AfD and Union saying nazi shit over and over. Well can't do anything about that. These laws have over and over been used to suppress anything left of the left, and this is just another step in a long march towards outright fascism. Look at what the current politicians are doing or have done during the last year.

Like fucking Scholz and Merz having a discussion before the elections that came down to 'Actually I will be better at deporting the immigrants, actually I will be better at cutting social spending.' Scholz allowing NSDAP and SS Officers to get honored, like literally his direction was 'Ok so Wehrmachts Soldiers that didn't resist against the nazis can get honored' like literally U-Boot captains that were in the NSDAP and SS. Fucking Clown country. You want me to say 'oh this is all very normal for germany it's an election year of course they'll rehabilitate SS officers that's how they get voters'? Germany saying that they actually don't really think the ICC applies or even you know has any right or legal justification even though nazi germany literally was its justification.

Like CDU and AfD working together for the first time, and surely going to be in a coalition in 3 years time when the current coalition collapses. Why worry about something as small as the government just deporting people without a legal precedent. Like this is literally 'First they came from the communists' but I guess you think it's totally ok for the tankies to get put away and you'll be oh so fine

Edit: Just in case someone reads this and is bewildered this article should help.

Heinz Karst fought in Poland and on the eastern front and received an Iron Cross so he fought and probably did a bunch of warcrimes during WW2.

Erich Topp was in the NSDAP and SS and only after the war was critical probably because his own aunt got thrown into a KZ, real 'I didn't think the leopards were going to eat my face' moment there.

Again Scholz thought it was ok to honor warcriminals and nazis because they were really good soldier, after working in my neighbours garden a bit helping uproot a tree I will amend one thing I said. Germany is not a clown country it's an entire circus.

Lol I am sorry what? I guess we found the AfD voter guess what you piece of shit get fucked. germany only has a right to exist if it took every person from the AfD lined them up against a wall and shot them, then took like I dunno half of the Union and shot them as well. So get up against the wall

Do you think banning the AfD wouldn't be based on law? Considering you have party officials doing a Hitler salute, saying 'Sieg Heil', doing nazi Apologia over and over and over again? Like it's the same article but somehow it is used to beat down people protesting genocide and not you know an outright Nazi party.

And I agree the situation in germany in not chaotic, this is a well oiled fascist machine that does fascist things, whereas the US is doing chaotic fascism.

I don't know how you can't look at how germany has been goosestepping towards fascism over the last what 4 years and go. Actually this is all based on law so no need to worry. Like the writer of this article is completely right, this is just another step in the march towards Germany becoming a fully fascist state again, but I'm sure you'll tell me that the camps are actually based on law and the deportations and killings are done very orderly much better than in the US where it's oh so chaotic.

germany has no right to exist.

Alright mini rant here because reasons but

The US just can't accept that WADA, which receives more funding from the US than from any other country in the world, isn't biased towards Americans.

It quite literally is though I think the best example of this is currently Wesley Kitts who was popped with methylhexaneamine, basically amphetimes, and got caught. Now they say 'Well he didn't want to compete and did those drugs recreationally so we will only allow a suspension for one month' which went from July 3 to August 3, weightlifting competition starts on the 10th which is really really really opportune timing. Now before you bring anything up let me again say this:

He got popped for a competition that was mandatory for qualification for the olympics. He weighed in. He really wanted to compete and got popped. And even if he didn't attempt to stimulants like this provide more blood to skeletal muscle which in turn helps build muscle mass and this drug can and has been used to mask other performance-enhancing drugs.

The USA is getting special treatment but they are not getting enough special treatment it seems. Like they pulled this shit for a weightlifter that the last time around came 8th in his weightclass. Absolutely embarrassing show at the very least by the US weightlifting team but watching commentary on swimming, tennis and the newest 'boxing scandal' the USA should be heavily penalized but they won't.

Not to worry intelligence services and police already were monitoring the communications and even infiltrated left-wing extremist groups like Last Generation known terrorists that do extreme things like marches and protests.

Like you already know this but the germans were already doing this against left wing groups. This isn't because germans have a problem with Nazis it's because AfD is soft on Russia and China like they've been Nazis for as long as they've been around but it's only recently become a problem so now they acknowledge something everyone knew for literal decades.

I call bullshit, like yeah I'm sure that's the smallest degree or whatever, but how 'hot' or 'cold' something feels is up to way more than just temperature like humidity, wind chill if it's sunny or cloudy so in a real example I doubt a person can notice the difference between a 66°F and 65°F day because there's so many other factors. And you know what it is actually really bad at? Telling people when stuff freezes, you think some person from texas or nevada or any place that usually doesn't get cold enough knows the exact freezing point in fahrenheit? Most people will guess around 30 while pretty much everyone knows that the freezing point of water in celsius is 0°

In a just society all those people that force these workers to work those hours, wrecking their health like for example they'll be exponentially more likely to suffer strokes and more severe ones at that, would be thrown in jail, holy shit what a misery that is put upon these people and for what? So some financial ghoul can shift some numbers from one pile to another and maybe buy a new jetski. It makes my blood boil how people are abused up for literally miniscule amounts of additional profit at this point, they are just grinding up the stone to get that last droplet of blood out of it.

I mean thanks for making my point I guess? Creationism doesn't come up during the first few paragraphs at all because it's not a relevant theory, people read the first couple of paragraphs and usually just skip the rest and that's completely fine, so let's see what the first few paragraphs are about:

1st Paragraph: What evolution is 2nd Paragraph: Who came up with the theory of evolution. 3rd Paragraph: Competing ideas of evolutions and models and such. 4th Paragraph: LUCA, fossile records and general stuff 5th Paragraph: Ongoing study of various aspects of evolution.

So 'dispute' comes up after long and very good and thorough explanations of evolution like people need to scroll through a ton of other stuff before they get to creationists. Creationism isn't presented as this grand other theory it's waaaaay down and presented as '[...] but it returned in pseudoscientific form as intelligent design (ID), to be excluded once again in the 2005 Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District case.'

Which article do you think addresses their topic better, which article do you think has a higher overall quality? Again Wikipedia will have a generally good quality if it's in the STEM field but once they get to the 'soft sciences' the quality drops like a ton and many wikipedia users will go "I know how to do physics let me just write a short article about this event I learned about in high school".

The article in question is of a poor quality and it pushes the idea "The Soviets were just as bad as the Nazis" and we can see that effect all over the world now with the Canadian government giving a standing ovation to a SS-Nazi, Söder in bavaria being ok with 'ex-nazi' Aiwanger and any other place I haven't heard about but I'm sure someone will tell me about nazi normalization happening in other 'civilized nations'.

No that kind of language is dangerous and also false, it'd be like saying that evolution/young earth creationism is disputed. Like technically it is but the people that are disputing are arguing it out of purely ideological reasons. The Soviet famine of 1932-1933 is no longer disputed since the opening of the Soviet archives, even Robert Conquest a person that was a huge anti-communist, so anti-communist that he was in support of the contras, has walked back his Cold War language since then and has said that the soviets didn't purposely cause it.

It'd be like if wiki had an article up about abortion and starts with "Abortions are considered illegal in x countries" and " [.....] whether abortions constitute murder remains in dispute", and the article listing like abortion numbers and stuff like that.

The article is not written from a neutral position because the average american has consumed a ton of cold war propaganda and a lot of Wikipedia has really bad slants because the overwhelming majority of its user base identifies as male (80+%), and works in STEM and/or are a white-collar worker, on top of that people from the USA are the biggest user group so their biases will dominate, like I say that as someone that managed to edit some articles on Wikipedia in the past and has given up because it is incredibly tedious if you are going against the STEM/USA/Male biases that come up over and over again.

Just gently remind the player that it is a game, if they insist tell them that a Chimpanzee has a STR of 14 and since most fighters would have that or well above instead of doing the ole 'have at thee' they'd could just grapple them and crush their windpipe, if you have some ogre they realistically would just grab the wizard and pop them like a waterballoon but obviously no one does this because it's boring and makes for a bad game.

Germany is not alright and Bavaria is the least alright , nominally leftist parties barely get up to 10% in elections there so yeah was to be expected.

OSCE had a mission through the entire period 2014-2022 as observers and released daily reports of the region together with ceasefire violations so we can find it for pretty much any day online like this one from 2022-02-03, and you can look up others here.

I can't find it anymore but there was a video floating around of Zelensky inspecting the troops and telling them to stop attacking the DNR and the soldiers telling him straight up no. Although I can't find that video you can look at the election results from 2019, Zelensky ran on a platform of brokering a peace calming tensions with ethnic russians and general prosperity which is why Poroshenko accused Zelenski of selling out to Russia. A ton of people in eastern ukraine wanted things to calm down and that's why he got the most votes there, but the military and the neo-nazi paramilitaries kept on doing their thing and here we are.

More than likely it's a cost issue, coal is artificially cheap thanks to several countries subsidizing the coal industry like Germany, USA and Australia.

There's also I guess the practical question of how much plant fiber per ton of metallurgical coal is needed, i.e. how land would be dedicated towards 'producing plant fiber' for the steel industry.

Metallurgical coal only makes up for rather small part of coal mining, around 7% of all coal production goes towards it, and while the process produces more GHG than just burning it for power it has a less profound impact because it's just smaller. It's also one of the places where we can't really find an alternative, to produce steel you need to use bitumen coal because they have more carbon and less volatiles than charcoal.

On top of that steel is extremely recyclable meaning that any steel produced can be reused pretty much 1:1 with only a small amount of energy needed.

Lol that's not how this works. Saying "We share intelligence" is worlds apart from what you want to imply here, again stop being some weird wannabe OSINT guy, at most Ukranians get satellite images which technically is 'sharing intelligence' but not what you are trying to imply here.

Who is this we? And why are you so sure? I'm not saying you are some guy working for the government I'm just saying you are making shit up and read too much of OSINT twitter so you feel 'in the know'. You don't know what intel is being gathered, if that intel even gets out or not. Like why should the US feel compelled to share with Ukraine? Because they are on the same side? From the few statements they seem more interested in using the war to pay off the MIC similar to Afghanistan and it doesn't seem like any intel was gained over a 20 year period.

It really isn't Germany is subsidizing coal by 1.7bn € every year. Like all currently coal producing countries give huge subsidies to their coal industry because they'd just immediately shut down.

Oh I get it you are more into Franco, please tell me how did that fictional encounter happen did your GF show up with her grandma one day and granny was like "you are her boyfriend let me tell you about...." because I have a good friend who's grandfather fought in the spanish civil war only I didn't find out about this through his grandma but him because this is the person I'm actually close to. That's why I know you are a liar, you can pretend all you want and add all the modifiers but I doubt it matters at this point it's not like you can back down from this extravagant lie.

lol yeah sure bud, it went from 'a family member of a person I know' to my 'GF's grandma had to live through it', which is something a person who is lying about this would do so uh congrats? Stop getting your history info from Jordan Peterson, actually stop watching Jordan Peterson and you might even get a real girlfriend.
