HellToupee 1,773 Posted January 23 BOOM From the Boss to Putin I’m not looking to hurt Russia. I love the Russian people, and always had a very good relationship with President Putin - and this despite the Radical Left’s Russia, Russia, Russia HOAX. We must never forget that Russia helped us win the Second World War, losing almost 60,000,000 lives in the process. All of that being said, I’m going to do Russia, whose Economy is failing, and President Putin, a very big FAVOR. Settle now, and STOP this ridiculous War! IT’S ONLY GOING TO GET WORSE. If we don’t make a “deal,” and soon, I have no other choice but to put high levels of Taxes, Tariffs, and Sanctions on anything being sold by Russia to the United States, and various other participating countries. Let’s get this war, which never would have started if I were President, over with! We can do it the easy way, or the hard way - and the easy way is always better. It’s time to “MAKE A DEAL.” NO MORE LIVES SHOULD BE LOST!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

See this I don’t mind- except that I think @TrailGuy is right that we already have huge tariffs on Russia so I don’t know if it will make a difference. But I very much like that he is putting pressure on Putin to stop the war and not on Ukraine- at least not yet. But no details are provided- is he just expecting Russia to retreat? Is he willing to allow Russia to keep some of the lands they have seized? (Zelensky won’t agree to that.) Not sure how this plays out… Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Death 302 Posted January 24 Idiot MAGAturds here don't know how tariffs work. If Chipotle needs a bunch of avacados and imports them from Mexico, a Chipotle rep at the border pays the tariff to customs. Neither Mexico nor the avacado grower pay the tariffs. Then Chipotle passing along the extra cost to consumers. It causes inflation. https://clearitusa.com/who-pays-tariffs/?utm_campaignid=21798106543&utm_agid=&creative=&device=c&placement=&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=&utm_campaign=Performance+Max&hsa_acc=7569604019&hsa_cam=21798106543&hsa_grp=&hsa_ad=&hsa_src=x&hsa_tgt=&hsa_kw=&hsa_mt=&hsa_net=adwords&hsa_ver=3&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiA7se8BhCAARIsAKnF3rzzMRVC_OFEZffl0uaQn581PTqbT2pAr1I-rf2VU9AbHEnWLXCcDJkaAiVbEALw_wcB Quote Tariffs are almost never paid by anyone in the country that the tariff applies to. Tariffs on Chinese goods, for example, are not paid by Chinese firms; they’re paid by American importers doing business with China. To this end, tariffs impact trade indirectly — if you’re an American importer, it’s more attractive to you to switch to importing steel from South Korea right now, because as of writing, you’ll avoid steel tariffs. Eventually, if enough American importers switch suppliers, the tariffs will have an impact on a country’s trade revenue. So, basically: if you’re importing a good that is subject to tariffs, you pay those tariffs in the form of duty to Customs and Border Protection. That’s that! Tariffs on country of origin mean American importers need to double check that they’re paying the new rate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If their leader needs to save face by saying there was some technicality on why they were first refusing them that's fine. The end result is all that matters.

The Real timschochet 6,758 Posted January 27 I know you guys think this is a big victory: Trump got tough and Colombia surrendered. Big Alpha, right? Colombia didn’t have much choice. We are much more powerful and they rely on our trade. A lot of these small countries do and if we want to bully them we can. The reason that previous Presidents haven’t done it is not due to weakness but because it’s extremely unwise. It creates all kinds of resentment and almost guarantees enmity and lack of cooperation when we need it. Theodore Roosevelt used to say “talk softly and carry a big stick”- Trump apparently wants to talk loudly and threaten using the stick. The consequences are hard to predict but won’t be good.
