Well that is just a tip of the iceberg.

What do u think his digital currency was for?

Corpos buy currency, he sells his coin, he does whatever corpos want, done.
Corpos write off as failed investment, Trump gets paid.

All digital currencies are for some shit like this - fraud.

Is she even doing anything? Whitmer?

Guys - go and advocate AOC on other platforms.
Including GOP ones like wsj comments, rumble and others

I cannot imagine any realistic plan to replace wto with another system just excluding china.
That would have had to be monstrous coherent and sustained effort on the scale of what Russia and china are doing with bricks.
I have not seen that with either Obama or others.

Then such a replacement organization would offer what exactly benefits the rest of the world? Seems like not much so forcing other countries to join it would have been somewhat dubious.

US capitalists created modern china.
Literally raised it.

And now china is beating US in it’s own game while having a better social system: mandatory vacations, pensions and health care.

There is absolutely nothing anyone can do - other countries will keep buying inexpensive shit from china because there are no alternatives. Tariffs no tariffs whatever.

And it seems to me - US people are being pushed into the corner to start demanding a larger share of the pie and a better social net as a typical US global economic advantages are disappearing leaving more people in poverty while offering no social net improvemeents that the rest of the world population has gotten last century.

Dmitriev gave a statement following his meetings in the US. Let me remind you that this was actually the first visit of this level since the beginning of the war, and sanctions were temporarily lifted for it.

As a result:

The timing of a new round of negotiations between the US and Russia will be determined in the near future;

The resumption of direct air travel is under discussion;

US businesses are ready to take the place of companies that left from the EU [they know how to appeal to Trump];

Overall, the US is taking a constructive stance and behaving respectfully.

Judging by the statements, the talks were successful, but in practice — the truth is in the outcome. We’ll see whether there are any developments soon regarding the implementation of Russia’s conditions for a “maritime truce” or, on the contrary, whether Russia will make concessions and agree to it without sanctions being lifted.

Also, a reminder that in a few days, a Ukrainian delegation is set to hold negotiations in the US regarding a resource deal that Trump has already openly referred to as part of a peace agreement.

All in all, it looks like another round of diplomacy may take place next week. A maritime truce and a signed deal by Ukraine could be on the horizon. If that happens — or even if specific dates are set — the chances of a full ceasefire by the end of the month will significantly increase.

Do people not realize there is no US Russia trade so tariffs would be moot.

About the Tariffs Today marked the “great day for the USA” previously announced by Trump, as the U.S. has now imposed import tariffs against the entire world. I won’t make predictions about how this will affect the global economy, how much the S&P has dropped, and so on. Instead, I want to draw attention to something that might not be immediately obvious.

The newly introduced tariffs can be divided into three parts: economic, political, and protective.

At the core of these tariffs is a baseline 10% duty on all imports. I’m not sure why there’s so much noise around this—basically, Zoomers invented the reusable shopping bag, and Trump has invented VAT. The U.S. has never had a national-level VAT before, only state-level sales taxes. Now, there will be a federal VAT, but only on imports and only at 10%.

There are also clear protective tariffs, intended to give advantages to domestic manufacturers and to motivate foreign companies that want to sell in the U.S. to move production inside the country, so they can stay competitive against local producers. These are 25% tariffs on all imported cars and computers. It’s all fairly straightforward and not worth overanalyzing. Russia has all of this too: VAT, protection for domestic car makers (e.g., AvtoVAZ), and maybe in the future Trump will even “invent” vehicle recycling fees.

In short, Trump could have quietly pushed a 10% import VAT through Congress without much publicity, and you wouldn’t have even seen the news in any headlines. But in that case, he wouldn’t have been able to kick off a series of trade wars.

The most interesting part of the tariffs is their political nature. I think everyone understands that the 54% tariff on all imports from China (a combination of a previous 20% and today’s 34%) is by no means a reciprocal move—it’s a global trade war that could even precede a real war. This was expected; Trump launched a trade war with China during his first term, and the motivations are clear.

What’s far more intriguing are the tariffs against some of America’s allied countries, which, in my opinion, make up a rather unexpected list:

India: 26%

Japan: 24%

EU: 20%

Taiwan: 32%

South Korea: 25%

Israel: 17%

Philippines: 17% (a country hosting U.S. military bases aimed at China)

Meanwhile, countries that didn’t receive tariff increases and stayed at the base 10%, from a global perspective, include:

South American nations: Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay — 10%. Panama also 10%.

Oil-rich Middle Eastern countries: Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, plus Turkey.

AUKUS members: UK and Australia — even though Trump criticized Australia in a speech, no extra tariffs were added.

Africa: Though likely of little strategic interest to Trump for now.

From this differentiation of tariffs, you can infer how Trump views the U.S.’s global strategic direction—a vision that will likely be pursued further.

Notice the low tariffs for South America. Remember how Rubio, right after taking office, made a diplomatic tour across Latin America—something that hadn’t happened in a century? It seems Trump is aiming to “pull Latin America out of China’s hands” and form a U.S.–Latin American alliance in the Western Hemisphere.

At the same time, clear preferences are being given to those joining new U.S. military alliances, as alternatives to the increasingly hard-to-control NATO.

On the other hand, traditional U.S. allies are out of luck. The economies of the EU, Japan, and South Korea—countries that have money but are not considered crucial allies by Trump—are being treated as revenue sources.

This is especially evident in the EU’s case. According to the “Trump Doctrine”, the main rival to the U.S. is China, and the EU is useless in the fight against China. They won’t go to war over Taiwan, nor will they support a likely sanctions regime against the PRC. So, in Trump’s view, they should simply start paying America in hard currency now, with the long-term plan being further deindustrialization and relocating manufacturing to the U.S…

The tariffs will go into effect between April 5 and 9. Based on past experience, I wouldn’t be surprised if they never actually take effect—maybe they’ll be repealed, suspended, or something else. But if nothing changes and the 20% tariffs on the EU, Japan, and others remain in place long-term, then the so-called “golden age of universal prosperity” will likely become a thing of the past for those nations.

Problem with Dems - it’s still the party of the rich.

They try their hardest to direct the energy towards various more cultural issues as opposed to working people rights.

For some reason I’m confident this is not the first time this happened. But now it’s covered by European sources so news leak out to the public.

For what purpose - for the purpose of providing these social programs. It’s all connected

Russia has universal health care and mandatory vacations and many other perks - it’s in Russia constitution in 7.1. Same is EU.

us is definitely capitalist
