(15,286 posts)You seem to have a lot of background on this subject, which to many of us (or me) becomes eye-glazing.
I think I understand that some of the provisions have a 6+ year life that cannot be altered by any nation state (including the god-almighty USofA.)
Is this correct? If the USofA signs one of these POS "trade/partnership" treaties does that mean than a subsequent executive/congress/SC be unable to break the treaty?
Crap, Germany and many other nations have told prior "partners" to take the treaty and stuff it when they felt it was time to go to war.
Perhaps that's what is being maneuvered here - an intolerable arrangement that only war will resolve. Unfortunately, the war will not be between the rich industrial states and their corporate funders, it will involve the people that can't/won't live in servitude - around the world.
