This is how the world views us; they love our money and need us to survive. They are petrified of us because they need our money and couldn't survive without us. They fear us because they are militarily impotent, their diplomatic standing is laughable compared to us and if
we were to engage in a trade war with any single country we would bankrupt them and wreck their economy.
If effect you're the strongest kid in school and you're going around to all the weaklings saying "Sorry I'm so big and strong, please don't hate me! SNIFF SNIFF!" Truly a pathetic sight.[/quote]
Maybe we should go into a
tradewar with the eu, just to make a point to people like you. Maybe you'd destroy their economy, but you'd destroy your own in the process.[/quote]
Hmm. The EU is a country now? Good to know. I guess I won't need a passport when I cross traditional borders because they are all a "single country" now.

The EU uses one currency (with a few exceptions), and it's economy is considered the main opposition to the u.s. economy.[/quote]
I understand that, but that wasn't the argument that was orginally stated.
No one bothered to clarify the terms of the argument before they started throwing words around... as stated, both of you could technically be right.
