Comrade Krasnov tariffed his own military base

This is true: The Trump administration said it has imposed a 10% tariff on the British Indian Ocean Territory, whose only inhabitants are the U.S. and U.K. service members at the military base on Diego Garcia.

Incredibly, this appears to be true. We tariffed our own (jointly operated with the UK) military base.

I often didn’t agree with our foreign policy, but I always assumed some careful thought was put into it. Not anymore.
