No person, save Adolf Hitler, has more persistently frustrated the cultural and political elite than the womanising, draft dodger, real estate developer and game show host from Queens.
Despite the rhetoric I struggle to see any real light between the two sides. Kamala represents the neo-conservative/war mongering status quo and Trump pretends he's different but the oligarchs and lobbies have US democracy by the balls - it's become a total sideshow to distract the proletariat. The rest of the west are only a few years behind.
"But a wholesale retreat from trade would do more harm than good and much more countries that rely on access to international buyers."
This suggests that if a country were to entirely withdraw from participating in international trade, it would likely cause significant negative consequences. The phrasing "much more countries that rely on access to international buyers" is a bit unclear, but it means that such a retreat would especially hurt smaller or trade-dependent countries that depend heavily on international markets for their economic stability.
Liam, what does this sentence mean? “There is a lot of ruin in a country, but much less in a smaller country on the fringes than the world’s hegemonic superpower.”
"There is a lot of ruin in a country, but much less in a smaller country on the fringes than the world’s hegemonic superpower."
This sentence means that large, powerful nations can withstand significant economic or social challenges ("a lot of ruin") before their overall stability is threatened. By contrast, a smaller country that is not as central to global power structures ("on the fringes") have fewer resources or less resilience to cope with ruin. Essentially, powerful nations can absorb more damage compared to smaller or less influential ones.
