Why exempt Russia thought they are number 1 NATO enemy.

You don't impose tariffs on countries that are already banned from trading with you.

Since Russia is already prohibited from exporting goods to the United States, applying tariffs to their products is unnecessary.


Please, let us get the facts and not be received by the mainstream media.

1. China has been in existence for over a thousand year whereas US is just a baby country in comparison.

2. China has seen more adversities and are more resilient.

3. XI will still be president when the orange idiot is retired to the nursing home in wet and stinking diapers.

4. China is debt free while US is trillions of dollars in debts.

5. My money on China 7 days a week.

Fvuck US, Bleep their clueless voters, fvuck their self hating mindless ers in Nigeria.

Stop using your country Nigeria's ignorance and backwardness to judge other countries who are more independent and self sufficient than you are while you and your country have been surviving on foreign aids others have been advancing in science tech and military and are catching up to the US sorry to burst your bubble but seems you are far away from reality while the rest of the world have moved on your country would be forever under neo colonialist oppression and run by foreign institutions like IMF and world bank There are 195 countries in the world the only reasin the Us is powerful is because of the dollar being the global currency so every country has its foreign reserves tied to it if the Us goes down so does everybody hence where BRICS comes in it would take a while but most nations would seek to dibest from the USD to avoid their hands being tied and held to ransome.

I like when a country is powerful and also brags with it. Trump is just like a lion king in the pride,he knows he's the most powerful and so commands respect from the whole pride,and banishes any dissenting lion from the pride, like the case of young male lions who are usually exiled from the pride when they re becoming too stubborn for the king.

Trump just want to use the tarriff to show the world that USA is the one calling the shots in world affairs and rebels like China would be dealt with decisively if they don't respect USA.

China will later seek for dialogue with USA when she sees that it has been isolated by USA. We go watch how this chess game unfolds.

He is using his own way of tactics and negotiation. He can do it because we are talking A the great. If this was another country like nigeria, it wouldn't have been news.


My opinion on this, is that, President Trump should stop listening to evil and naive people around him. If any. He should use wisdom and please stop this Canada issue from escalating.


What president trump can do is, to take over Nigeria's oil and gas resources for 5 years without payment. Come and work with the great Igbo tribe and allied tribes. The igbos on the other hand should be, ready for opportunities that unexpectedly arises.

US already has sweeping sanctions on not just Russia but anyone that does business with them (Energy ). It makes zero sense to impose tariffs on them while on trade sanctions.
Stop swallowing the party lies.
It makes all sense to sanction Russia as US still trades with Russia in energy products.
There were sanctions but the trade never stopped.

And there was no sanction on any country for buying Russian oil.
None. The sanction merely limits the price they can pay for it.

If he likes , he can raise the tarrif to 200% China will never succumb to a bully.

America are yet to come to reality that china has sur them in everything. China is not on of those 75 countries that will bend down a beg a bully. Is not gonna happen.

America will loose the trade war. Most of their consumables are made in china. Ivnaka trump fashion business is in china. Even Trump Maga shirts and caps are all made in china cheesy cheesy

So how is America gonna win ? China will trade more with EU, Argentina, Brazil, India, Mexico etc. Those their exports that trump put tarrif on will still be reroute and export through Mexico, Brazil and Canada which will still find its way to the US.

China has also has an alternative to all US products imported in their country. China is a the world factory!! Can the same be said to America ? China has also banned the exportation of 9 rare earth minerals to US which is vital to their defense and military.

China has all the cards to play. Trump has none. He is just making noise and issueing threats to massage is Narcissistic ego.

Americans should be ready for inflation and recession that will hit them.

Meanwhile, Russia so far is the only country that immune from Trump tarrifs, isn't this a cause for worry seeing the way Americans pretend to hate communists

Use brain Oga. Trump also placed tariff on Russia. But why will they react? They’ve been sanctioned off the market by democrats so they’ve learned to be independent. Tariff doesn’t affect them

Trump is megalomaniac kind of a leader that wants to show the world how US is so powerful and operating under the policy of hegemony as well telling the world that other states are client. But this might have a ripple effect because trust has been broken alternative doors are open as well as realignment and rapprochement has been established.

They asked Trump this question 2 days ago and she challenged anyone to prove America trades with Russia. Russia is on American sanctions. so what exactly will you apply tariff on if no trade exists. People should catch up before blatantly talking

This trade war has made it inevitable that there has to be an alternative to dollars as global currency of trade.
