LOL well you're wild assed guesses are as good as mine I suppose.
I dont think anyone thinks we'll get ALL industrial base back. But some, many have already announced in just 2 days they are moving production here
Agreed, Europe will continue to try and provoke Russia into a bigger longer war. They have to, they're broke.
Agree, no short term reconciliation. China is our #1 competitor and "enemy"
USA Defense Ind will be just fine. Sold 2B of Patriot batterys to Poland just yesterday. But sure, others will prosper where the tariffs make enough difference.
LOL it will take some time to lose 200-300 $Billion in sales
"Agreed, Europe will continue to try and provoke Russia into a bigger longer war. They have to, they're broke."
Europe never wanted this war PERIOD.
Europe does NOT want to provoke Russia.
Europe was happy enough with the status of post 2014 with Russia ..
Russia's 2022 re-invasion of Ukraine 100% made it clear that Russia is an expansionist state that breaks peace treaties repeatedly.
Think of Europe as the pretty girl living next to the abusive rapist, and you'll understand this better.
It really is simple, Europe knows Nazi Germany and Soviet Union started WWII
All nations which have been conquered and lived under Russian authoritarianism do not want a repeat of it.
Poland, Ukraine, Baltics .. all got majorly crushed under Russian Empire. They know they cherish their freedom, and they know the only way Russia will stop is that Russia has to basically lose this Russo-Ukraine War, otherwise it is just a "reload" period for Russia.
Putin himself is NOT interested in peace. Otherwise he would have taken the numerous off ramps he has had up to this time.
reports now are that Putin is preparing another major push into Ukraine.
Donald Trump thinks he can get Putin on his side vs China ? lol .. that is a super long shot imho.
