Russian markets reel from Trump tariffs, oil price collapse
-
they didn't get tariffs because they are embargoed.
They tariffed penguins though.

He fucked the global economy. Of course it's going to hurt Russia. It's like setting yourself on fire because you have cancer - sure, the cancer will suffer *too. *
It was a joke bcz he's done basically nothing good in the last three months.
-

Big Cheeto was afraid the penguins would flood American markets with cheap eggs, thus the tarifs.

fewer
I understood that middle eastern oil can be dirt cheap because it is simply pumped, whereas US oil can’t be because you have a lot more costs, especially with fracking.
They’re trying to block “drill baby, drill” by making it unprofitable for companies to do that

Summary
Russia’s stock market lost $23.7 billion in two days after Trump’s new global tariffs and a steep oil price drop, marking its worst week since 2022.
The MOEX Russia Index fell 8.05%, with major firms like Sberbank, Gazprom, and Rosneft plunging. Brent crude dropped 12%, and copper fell 11%, stoking global recession fears.
Russia, heavily reliant on commodity exports, faces budget strain and potential ruble devaluation.
Peace talks over Ukraine remain stalled as the U.S. signals impatience, and NATO sees no shift in Russia’s war objectives.
$23.7 billion is nothing, are these guys a third world country or something?

Really puts the £36 TRILLION that's sitting liquid in offshore tax havens into perspective. $23.7 billion isn't even 1% of that.

they didn't tariff any embargoed countries, that includes cuba and north korea
-
They didn't get tariffed because Trump is a Russian asset
and a cuban one, apparently

.... Chemotherapy targets rapidly dividing cells (e.g. cancer, hair, blood). Most cells in your body don't undergo mitosis often enough to be affected by chemo.
Besides, we have a host of other treatments for cancer:
...to name a few categories.
So, no this is not even "basically" how we treat cancer.

It would be so easy to tackle the offshoring of US tax funds.
- Implement better tax laws.
- Billionaires attempt to leave the country with their ill-gotten booty.
- Send Seal Team Six after them like Bin Laden. Drop bombs if you have to. The word “billionaire” should be synonymous with “terrorist.”
- Problem solved.
The fun part is we can’t even fuck up our image on the world stage because Trump already did that.

......are penguin eggs any good? Like, I'm guessing chicken eggs are as popular as they are mostly because chickens are easy to handle as livestock; not because their eggs or meat is anything special relative to other birds.
Like, the absolute best eggs and drumsticks and such might be some Chilean parrot or something, but we don't and will never know because they're squirrelly little fuckers and bite the shit out of anyone who gets close, so we just dismiss them as not worth the effort.

I just want to say MAGA voters - good job

Except we did something like $3.5b in trade with them last year somehow. And they taxed uninhabited islands.

I wonder how much of what happened after Brexit can be applied here

Nothing, other than regret.

After re-reading your comment, I see that too. Sorry.

There's more to it. Chickens lay lots of eggs (like a dozen) before going broody (when they stop laying and just sit on the eggs to keep them warm), so production is high. Penguins OTOH, lay one of two per season.

Except that they are. Chickens that are actually raised free, and peck on insects, herbs and other stuff outside lay eggs that are absolutely delicious, and the meat is also very tasty. You can even say that they come pre-seasoned, if you don't mind chewy meat.
The almost tasteless eggs/meat come from industrial scale farming that feeds the chickens with grain-based feedstock in large amounts, so they grow quickly. (source: my aunts raised free-range chickens for both eggs and meat. They were really tasty)

That’s something tho. Definitely a big shift in political opinion in their 2024 election. You don’t think we can expect to see other similarities? Devaluation of our currency. Prices of common goods increased. Wages outpaced inflation decently.
