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

Krasnov strikes again! Until there is evidence to counter this theory, it satisfies Occam's Razor.

I'm sad now.

Do people not realize there is no US Russia trade so tariffs would be moot.

You're comparing 2021 exports with 2024 imports

No US Russia trade YET.

So US imposed tariff on penguins, but 0 on Russia!

[learningduck@programming.dev]

I find it funny than instead of at least imposing 10% tariff by default on Russia and selectively exempt critical resources. Russian wasn't listed at all.

Even an unoccupied island got 10% tariff by default.

Systems that have voting mechanisms result in hive minds. It's an inevitable result.

1st someone is much more likely to vote something up or down depending on how positive / negative it is. So it snowballs sort of like compounding interest

2nd the simplest most common denominator takes bubble to the top. Precisely because more people can understand and therefore vote.

It's why you'll always see some screenshot of Twitter much higher than a long in depth article. Even though the article has infinitely more value.

And Putin isn't a U.S. asset? While both countries are geopolitical adversaries, their military and strategic moves have ironically helped sustain each other's defense industries; just not in a cooperative way.

[Guest]

Well, why should Agent Krasnov put tariffs on the hand that feeds him, good old Vlad? ‍️

[Guest]

Do you have a source for this? I checked https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c5ypxnnyg7jo but cannot find this.

[1984@lemmy.today]

Yes but look at the people who becomes US presidents. The bar needs to be low or none of them can reach it.

[vikthor@lemmy.world]

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":

Fairly sure that’s because Russia is heavily sanctioned by thr US already, alongside North Korea, Cuba, Iran etc.

Things are bad but let’s not spread hysteria.

[bluewing@lemm.ee]

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
