Ok, here's one I know very little about. North American Union, US-Canada border agreement, immigration under Obama, the Mexican and wider drug war, Latin American issues like Venezuela/Colombia, FARC. Brazil-USA relations. Washington's stance on Falklands (Malvinas), and on Canadian claims to Arctic resources. NAFTA Corridor, trade with China. But particularly the USA's two immediate neighbours. I need to go shopping and cook, a couple hours. Will come back here and eat. Please educate me?

AntwortenLöschenI know that 95% of the US border patrol is in the Mexicano side.
AntwortenLöschenI also know that Canadians/US are the biggest trading partners in the World, that is why I always follow Americano Politics, whenever they crap, we smell the gas.
I also know that they fingerprint Brit's that go into the US, and I was absolutely "disgusted" when they did that with a couple of my friends when I crossed into Washington State a few year's back. I lost respect for the US Government when they did that.
AntwortenLöschenI lost what few shards of respect I had for the US in 2001.
AntwortenLöschenThere have been several trade agreements between China and the USA The USA trade with China took off after Bill Clinton signed the trade agreement between the US and China. US labour unions lobbied against the bill. On paper the agreement is a sound one. It had provisions in place to prevent China from "dumping" products on the US market and actually called for a balanced trade between the two countries. However, China violated the terms of the agreement from day one. Bush ignored the fact that China was violating the trade agreements. Speculation: Bush wanted China to fund his wars and allowed the violation to go unchecked. It is a widely accepted fact among unbiased economists that the trade agreement with China was the major contributing factor for the demise of the US economy. Another factor of course is the continuous warfare but if the US economy was strong it most likely could support these wars without heavy borrowing.
AntwortenLöschenOf course this is just an opinion piece; I have not provided any supporting data for my statement.
What happened in 2001? 9/11? What else?
