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?

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.

(1,920 posts)TSF has learned that blackmail works for him, and he doesnt give a flying rats 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 havent heard about tariffs on Russia. Clerical mistake, obviously.

(53,892 posts)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.

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?
