Childish? Mobs of people regarding politics? You don't say.
I mean, would you say the US body politic has been acting particularly adult lately?
Trump has painted himself into a corner with all the trade war stuff, the only move he knows is escalation, and this is obviously a dumb idea.
Chinese companies are big enough to fork Android, and now they're supremely motivated even if this were reversed tomorrow.
One more bit of influence down the drain.
- tekkk 7y agoCan't argue with that, but I felt the original author I replied to took it way too personally. US politics is a joke of a democracy and more so now that they have elected a true buffoon as their president. I would argue as a nation, Trump was one of the worst options they could have picked, but since they have long since descended into tribality and unsound rhetoric I guess that's their equilibrium (with Russian aid or not). While I think the original idea of fighting Chinese influence is a relevant point and much in the US's interest, it seems a little rash and foolish to extend that animosity on Huawei's ability to use Google Android. Like, seriously. If they are not using Android, they'll be using something else which will, with high probably, be not American. Oh well, not my headache.
- NotPaidToPost 7y agoThe US are conducting themselves like a "rogue state" that they like accusing others of being. People should accept that and that being the rhetoric nothing has changed since 200 years. Clearly this requires to challenge one's belief, judging by the comments.
