The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Once again: Trumps policies are better for the economy and for our security.

We gave the economy a quick look, where I can spell out reasons Trump's tariffs are a bad idea and all you can do it repeat your claims with no supporting reasons or logic. How about a look at national security.

Let's start with our relationships with Putin, Xi, and Kim? There's three countries who aren't exactly our friends AND who do (or might) have nuclear weapons we'd rather not see in our skies.

What is Trump's position? Cozy up to them, and let them do whatever they want to other countries.

Putin, you want Ukraine? Fine with us.
Xi, you want to claim the South China Sea as your sovereign territory? Cool. Have at it.
Kim, continue to improve your missiles by lobbing them over Japan so you can learn how to get them to the US? Go for it.

So how is that being tough on these countries? How is that supporting our allies? How is that keeping America safe? Frankly, it sounds like the Neville Chamberlain approach to foreign relations - let them do what they want in exchange for easily broken promises to leave us alone.
