Well, this is a very excellent presentation. Sick nation indeed. Tactical nuke in the world economy for sure. Who is advising him? Do they understand the consequences? This is going to destabilize the world economy.
Does anybody in the current administration know what they are doing?
They know what they're doing. This is just a way for all of them to make more money. While the rest of us starve, they'll go buy up a bunch of stock and become even wealthier
Senator Chris Murphy posted a clear explanation of what Trump is doing with tariffs. It took him 11 posts on Blue Sky which I consolidated into one document with no changes.
He threatened tariffs against countries who are purchasing oil from Venezuela. There's more to that story... Hes trying to destroy venezuelas economy - their largest income is oil exports.
Yeah -- these are crazy. I'm very curious how these will interact with the other tariffs. Additive, it sounds like? So there could be almost 75% tariffs on China? Not to mention all of the supply chain-cover-up mess that will happen.
Heres the interesting part - Russia and China signed an agreement that China would purchase oil from Russia, in Dec 2024. I suspect the small percentage tariffs are just more optics. Even though we know this action is surrounding Venezuela, primarily - China, Russia and the US will benefit most. China and other countries will stop purchasing V's oil, moving their oil imports from Venezuela and purchase from Russia instead. Once Venezuelas economy completely collapses, trump is going after their oil reserves as well. Venezuela has the worlds largest crude reserves, and Russia has significant reserves. Its all about the freaking money.
Moscow's hires Tulsi Gabbard and Stepan Vitkov work.
The head of the National Security Agency and U.S. Cyber Command was removed from his job on Thursday, according to the top Democrats on the congressional intelligence committees.
Senator Mark Warner of Virginia and Representative Jim Himes of Connecticut condemned the ouster of Gen. Timothy D. Haugh, who led both the spy agency and the military command.
The move caught intelligence officials off guard.
A spokeswoman for Cyber Command said she could not confirm General Haugh’s removal, and referred questions to the Pentagon, which did not respond to a request for comment. A White House spokeswoman did not confirm the ouster.

The "reciprocal" tariffs are the tariffs he threatened regarding venezuela's oil. Its one in the same. Hes just changing the story.
