Don't even start with logic. Don't you see that Trump is 100% confirmed as tankie? We, the tankie triad, should worship our greater savior, the Empire Slayer, orange man!!!
Trump is a Stalinist tankie.
After the unlawful dismantling Soviet Union, Yeltsin offered all Soviet nuclear arsenal to the USA, but USA instead demanded the ultimate Soviet weapon: The Spoon. Now JDPON Don is gonna use it to eat all the burgers in burgerica.
This is such a lib talking point. They already sanction those countries lol.
There's not much you can do with tariffs when you have an embargo
Yeah but if he had put infinity tariffs on them, he'd have strong bigballs and very virile cum, now he only has tinyhand.
It's too braindead to even make fun of.
Libs want to drop the sanctions and embargoes so they can tariff them like all the other countries. 
Asked why Russia was not on the list, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told Fox News that the United States did not trade with Russia and Belarus and that they were under sanctions.
The political discourse in mainstream US is just two terrible parties trying to outdo each other on being really dumb, all while they both agree on the most horrific and deranged things.
To be fair that's unironically consistent with the way they applied the tariffs. And also a funny way to stump libs when they say the president is a KGB agent. Its all so dumb that you can totally say 'nah we don't have to do tariffs because the formula applies to countries we trade with'.
It is technically untrue, US does ~$3bn in trade with Russia every year, still. That number is down ~90% from some years back, presumably they don't want to apply tariffs because they really kinda need that last 10% of stuff.
uncritical support for the DPRK in its heroic struggle to liberate occupied Korea from the genocidal American empire
Also for the counterfeit currency
They can't devalue the dollar faster than the us reserve, but I respect the hustle
The trade volume with them is already so low that even a complete embargo wouldn't really do anything.
Slightly off topic, but I was looking at anti-virus software recently and I noticed that the government banned Kaspersky because of "potential ties to the Russian government" and I had no idea because that software used to be everywhere. The American government is a big, embarrassing cry baby it's hilarious.
You will download Norton and you will like it
My understanding is that, in the year 2025, there is no consumer desktop antivirus software that’s not more harmful than helpful for the average person. The consensus seems to be that modern OS built-in virus protection is enough.

I'm almost buying that he's a deep cover Maoist agent now.
