I am surprised the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act has not been linked. link |

"ounce again", 35? No, we use the metric system so it'd be "kilo again." The last time the US fought a war without allies was the Spanish-American War. So, it looks like you chaps will be playing with yourselves OUNCE (sic) again." |

One interesting thing about the post tariff world is the Intractables & apologists are notably quiet on the forum. There's a bit of weak "sez you" stuff but some are absent & the rest just going through the motions. I believe they know what trouble they're in & it's subdued them. Please do NOT think I get any pleasure out of this. The world I grew up in with American Exceptionalism & Leadership seems to be in grave danger of ending. What will replace it may well be worse. All I know is that the Chinese & the Russians must be smiling broadly since April 2nd. |

Thanks for the link, McKinstry. Ominous stuff. |

Come on Donald, come up with your own lines. 😉 You'll probably want to use more than an ounce, probably more like a "pound". But it is not an area I'm experienced in, nor any sort of expert. I will bow to your expertise in this one subject. 🙂 In the mean time, do try not to go blind. |

35, smut? Really? Aren't you a clever wee boy.That's the best you can do?
See my comment on the lack of firepower of the Usual Suspects I made above. ibi sumus. |

You certainly do get to read some supercilious posts on The Miniatures Page. So much for the international brotherhood of tabletop miniature wargaming. ARE WE NOT MEN? |

The last time the US fought a war without allies was the Spanish-American War. The Cuban and Filipino insurgents would like a word. |

The last time the US fought a war without allies was the Spanish-American War. Weren't things a bit tense in Manila Bay between Dewey's squadron and a German one right after the battle? I seem to recall a British squadron helping to tone things down but I cannot remember any details. |

In the end, politicians, on all sides, will spin the story and declare victory |
