Ok, so except for Fertilizers, it’s (in terms of intl. trade) peanuts. Again, this graphic doesn’t say *how* that trade is conducted. The fact remains that normal trade between Russia and the U.S. is effectively suspended. Even moreso for Cuba and the DPRK.
Again, Trumps tariffs should be criticized and opposed. They are a lazy effort to turn American soft power into blunt force, and they will fuck over the average American as much as anyone else. We shouldn’t wish to *expand* these efforts.
And the crux of this whole argument is the lazy liberal idea that Trump represents something fundamentally non-American. He is your guy, and I am sorry to say, but you have to own him. He isn’t some “foreign plot.” He is a poisonous slice of apple pie.
