The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

David Perdue said Trump raised the prospect of the arms sales from the U.S. to its ascendant geopolitical rival, an unlikely offer that if consummated would upend generations of U.S. policy toward China and Taiwan and expose U.S. technology to a potential foe. Perdue, speaking to Shannon Bream on Fox News Channel’s “Fox News Sunday” days after Trump hosted Xi for a state visit in Washington, didn’t specify when the offer was made.

It's just Trump the Stupid being stupid.

Exhibit 1: The U.S. doesn't buy certain technologies from China (e.g. Huawei) for fear of spying or being over dependent.

Exhibit 2: Trump has said that it's not a big deal if the Chinese spy on us because we do the same to them.

So how in the world would anyone expect China to buy weapons from us, even if we were stupid enough to sell them?
