    Lmao, what? Why even?

    Well, even then, these islands are not significant geopolitical actors. And tarrifs will certinly not hurt the Russian economy, and I doubt they are going to help the US in terms of geopolitics.

      Because Trump is a moron surrounded by a team of idiots.

      Well, even then, these islands are not significant geopolitical actors.

      And yet they have tarrifs.

      And tarrifs will certinly not hurt the Russian economy, and I doubt they are going to help the US in terms of geopolitics.

      The same can be said if many of the other tariffs Trump has imposed. Which is why Russia’s exception is notable.

          Yes exactly. Yet the islands were included but Russia wasn’t. So the situation isn’t that Russia has no trade and tariffs are useless against it, but that Russia was specifically singled out so they wouldn’t receive tariffs.

          Just take the loss, jfc.
