Russia Not on US Tariff List Despite Broad Global Reach | Sweden Herald

Now that is a lie. He only likes himself and Ivanka.
-
Look at section 3(a) of the executive order linked here, at the portion discussing "column 2":
-
Yeah, it's hard to put a tariff on a country that you have already sanctioned and don't trade with at all. But that fact doesn't play well here.
-
don't read the news because it might get weird for you
-
The US has 3.5 billion in trade with Russia. The tariffs include Iran; Venezuela, etc... they also slapped them on countries which we have a trade surplus with.
It's also looking like they used chatgpt to write the list but then specifically omitted five countries. Russia, north korea,Korea, Cuba, Belarus. Russia and its fine closest allies. How can anyone see this and not think the Kremlin does t own the Epstein tapes
-
That was also the official argument from Karoline Leavitt, spokesperson of the White House, although last years trading volume between Russia and the US still was about 3.5 billion USD (roughly three times of what Ukraine - US traded).
The question whether tariffs for Russia makes sense or not is rendered meaningless given the fact that the whole tariff plan is just wild (super small countries with a mimiscule part of trading volume still got heavily sanctioned etc).
You are right that we should not spread hysteria, but we should still question statements coming from government officials.

they released the JFK tapes! several times!
honestly i remain skeptical any "kompromat" on trump exists. or any Epstein documents remain that matter. we've all seen it
-
I was skeptical up until the tariffs. Now it's obvious they've got blackmail.
Alao an interview with epstein was leaked last year where he mentioned trump having sex on his plane. But in 2017 that clip was suppressed for some reason.
We know trump flew on that plane many times and that it was rigged with secret cameras
-
I doubt it's a blackmail thing, because at this point, not one of Trump's supporters would give a damn if it was clearly proven that Trump personally took CP pictures.
I think Putin just whispers sweet nothings into Trump's ear and controls him that way.
-
i wouldn't say trump wasn't a super gross Epstein buddy, we already know that.
"rigged with secret cameras", so what. where is it now.
-
Trump seems to think the trade deficit is some sort of debt that we'll have to pay off in the future.
The overall goal of bringing manufacturing back to the US isn't necessarily a bad one, but this is probably the worst way to go about doing it. One article I read pointed out that it would take many years of consistent tariffs to generate that kind of interest and investment - but anyone with half a brain knows these tariffs could be gone tomorrow, so there's little inclination to actually try to build factories in the US based on this move. No reasonable investor would want to bet their company on Trump acting consistently.

How does this point keep coming up? It's been refuted like a dozen times in every post I see. Feels like intentional disinfo at this point.
-
You can believe what you like but I’m not here to spread disinformation. Looking at the replies from other people I think I’m just misinformed and need to do more research. It’s possible to be wrong on the internet without it being tief up in a conspiracy.
-
Right, but the number of people spreading the same wrong thing in multiple threads hours after they were openly provided direct info as to their error, starts to make it seem like a coordinated disinfo campaign.
Yes, it is possible to be wrong on the internet without a malicious intent. It's also possible to spread disinfo without being a malicious actor, since the whole point of disinfo is to get other people to take it up and spread it, occluding the real issue and disrupting genuine conversation about it.
For clarity, I am not accusing you of being a malicious or disingenuous actor here. No offense, but I doubt you arrived at your position in a vacuum, you probably heard it from somewhere else first I imagine?
