Blaming neighbors for trade imbalances? That's missing the bigger picture. The real story lies in how capital flows work—especially when you've got the world's most open capital account. Trade deficits aren't just about tariffs or border policies. They're about money moving across borders, investment patterns, and who's willing to absorb global liquidity. Pointing fingers at trading partners ignores the structural role some economies play in this system.

Basically, it's about blaming the neighbors for unfairness, but in reality, you're the real vampire.

capital flows are literally the MEV of macroeconomics lol... everyone's obsessing over tariff theater when the real alpha is in understanding absorption mechanics. most ppl just don't have the infrastructure to parse this

To put it bluntly, it's just about shifting the blame onto others, but in reality, it's all just a game of capital flows.

ngl this capital flow angle is exactly what most ppl miss when they're screaming about trade deficits. it's like blaming the exchange for a rugpull when you didn't even audit the contract first—classic misdirection. the structural stuff is what actually matters here ⚠️

To be honest, the issue of trade deficits has been oversimplified. Capital flows are what really matter—the key is who is willing to absorb this pile of global liquidity.
