Here's A Theory About Why Krasnov Imposed Tariffs

Krasnov only cares about Krasnov. This theory is so far out there, but it is believable for Krasnov.

So Krasnov imposes high tariffs on pretty much every country. The countries that send him a suitcase of money get their tariffs reduced or eliminated.

I didn't see, but did Krasnov impose tariffs on Russia?

Just one more tax for the poor, but he's absolutely unwilling to increase taxes on the rich.

They can't feel rich unless there are many poor/suffering/dying people.

It's all about feeling rich and powerful, because they already are, but are so emotionally dead they can't feel it.

The tarriffs will hurt us consumers the most.

TSF has learned that blackmail works for him, and he doesn’t give a flying rat’s ass about the rest of the country. The actual implementation might have a little bit more finesse - but not much. He may have met his match this time, however. And no, I haven’t heard about tariffs on Russia. Clerical mistake, obviously.

Afghanistan was pegged at 49% which should have meant they got hit with 25% tariffs, but instead that got a soft 10 %. No other country got close to kid glove treatment like that. None.

Fulfilling Krushchev's threat via Putin to destroy us from within.

“We will take America without firing a shot. We do not have to invade the U.S. We will destroy you from within.” Krushchev, 1956

If trump is a Russian agent what would he be doing that's different from what he's doing right now?
