So we charged them 25% more for our electricity and his response is to charge his own citizens 25% more??

Wow

Russia's objective isn't tariffs -- it's to splinter/decouple international coordination and cooperation amongst western nations.

So, yeah. The faster Trump can accelerate that, the happier his boss'll be.

Like the buy[local] type campaigns are most likely getting a bit of a bump from Russian propaganda agents -- even if they are 'real' sentiments to some extent too.

I think there's a plan to entertain the US with some conflict while Russia does some shit so it can't intervene later on. Their only true opposition as far as tech goes is the US army so it makes sense to disable it. I also have a feeling part of this is an attempt to normalize the invasion of other countries. And what better way to accomplish it all than to push the US out of NATO so the former Soviet countries are easy pickings for Russia.

It's like watching the Kremlin call the shots at this point. What Trump is doing makes no sense without thinking What Would Putin Do?

Whatโ€™s that flushing sound I hear? Oh, itโ€™s just the US economy.

He'll raise taxes on Americans again too, if Canada doesnt shape up!
