USA does not have the refining capacity which will take another 8 years to build out.

Wrong. We don’t need to build refining capacity. We just need to remind China that who’s the big dog, which we seem to be doing.

They’ll fall in line quickly enough.

I really cannot tell if this is sarcasm (seems not?) or trolling (sounds like it).

How are we reminding China that the US is a big dog? By imposing tariffs? By demonstrating our ability to do work domestically that they believe us unwilling or incapable of doing?

What does this even mean, to be a big dog in the modern world? It seems more like a large ship listing to one side … if it collapses there will be a lot of small ships damaged in the wake.

  Remember, Mommy,
  I'm off to get a Commie,
  So send me a salami,
  And try to smile somehow.
  I'll look for you when the war is over ---
  An hour and a half from now
