trump is alienating the two largest economies of the future world and it'll spell doom for this empire.
It’s already doomed. This will just accelerate it.
Not if India caves
2.5% of India’s GDP is dependent on exports to USA. 40% of oil import and a major chunk of defence import is dependent on Russia.
The numbers do not favor Mr. Trump.
i hope so, the violence and oppression that we americans allow our government to commit on our behalfs thanks to our collective ignorance has to stop.
That's because you're assuming trump is working for USA’s interests.
India is in it for India. If it is better for India to trade with the US than Russia, they will.
It still won't get us to stop talking about the Trumpstein files.
No matter how many things Trump does that are hostile to Russia they will continue to call him a Russian asset. It's fascinating.
Because Trump didn't put tariffs directly to Russia, doesn't matter that it doesn't make any sense to tariff someone that you sanctioned instead you pressure the countries that trade with it.
And I guess they think the sanctions are just natural and there's nothing Trump can do about them.
How much is the annual US-Russian trade at retail level?
