    but no one will ask why we let China take over sulphuric acid production from the world last 50 years.

      China is playing Civilization while Americans are playing Monopoly. Greedy individuals have no chance of competing with a planned one party state.

      Thats no mystery. They offered it at a lower cost, and worldwide free trade was expected to continue.

    Quietly

    I’ve been reading this headline in all Bold Caps for months

    It means Australian manufacturers are facing a difficult choice: either stock up on the highly corrosive and combustible chemical or go without their key ingredient.

    Maybe all those Euro Aussies can pick up and go back to the countries they came from.

      Why doesn’t everyone pack it up and move back to the savannahs of Africa? It seems like the only fair way to resolve all the issues that have stemmed from questionable practices during past migrations.

    Europe, China, and Russia should get together and negotiate with Iran. The world cannot just rely on Trump to end the war.

        Just Europe and China could get together, but including Russia would make a more formidable team.

          On the contrary, China and Russia are talking to Iran, and Europe would do well to join them.

            That’s OK. The important thing is that is that the 3 get together and negotiate with Iran. The world cannot leave it to Trump to negotiate.

      Israel is the one deciding how this goes. They’re annexing Lebanon while everyone stares at Donald and gas prices

        A deal of Europe, Russia, and China with Iran could require Europe not to supply weapons to Israel

          You don’t seem to comprehend the hydra of influence Israel has built. They have pull in Europe.

            It does have pull, but Europe is suffering from the war in Iran. Ending that suffering will overcome that pull.

              That pull is based on years of blackmail of the extremely rich and powerful from Ghislaine. It’s not so simple

      Europe is “trying” but there won’t be a deal as long as the EU and UK lick Israel’s boots unconditionally.

        Europe is hurting because of war with Iran. It will agree to stop supplying weapons to Israel if it leads to the end of the war.

      Right after they convince Russia to end the war in Ukraine, right?

      Face it. This is the world that the voters chose. (And yes, there has been a growing Right Wing political movement in most of Europe that has been pushing for this too.)
