China and India enjoy the Lemonade

If you knew nothing of international events, the alignment of China and India would not gain a moment's thought. But here are two nations with a long history which had become a bit frayed in 2020 but now, due to Trump's tariffs they are returning to the warmth they had known for over a thousand years. India recognises Trump had played them and will not put itself in dependency on the US again. Had Trump not slapped his 'big beautiful tariffs' on India, China would not have been gifted India. This is just one taste of the lemonade Trump's limes have produced.

@allknowing Trump has prob. been stunned by the current meeting of the various world leaders. They will make their deals behind his back, proving that he is irrelevant

neither can America. But considering helping India will 'fix' America, China will make an effort

Also the European countries are now understanding that they must join their effort and work better together. They are learning that it's better to be alone than in bad company.

Since WWII the US was the centre... with Trump it is the far edge. To rely on America is ridiculous and dangerous. So, quickly European nations will link and soon they will be far more independent. I have to bless my country and its leaders in moving away from US goods starting in the 70s

@jaylar - Europe relied on America and now they realize that a President can make a big difference and that it's dangerous not to be more independent. More and more countries will move away from US goods.

@LadyDuck which would want to be treated like dirt by such a creature as Trump? Better to trade with a nation that sees you as an equal

@celticeagle it is so odd that it took them so long. My country seemed to know what would happen and made so many alternatives

@aninditasen The stupidity of Trump is unmeasurable. Putin has been playing him and will continue. China doesn't need the US. And India has seen the deceit of Trump and will not ever put itself in that spot again. What I find interesting is the silence of the MAGAts both here and on other sites.

Trump is such a pathetic loser. He wasn't invited to the Party. And guess what? Everyone had a fine tie without him
