MSM is saying up to 40% tarreffs…..I hope they stand firm and don’t bow down to trump’s bullying tactics.He will taco soon after all he’s accomplished what the wealthy power brokers put him there to do (their tax break) I don’t think they are going to tolerate much more tariff nonsense.

The BRICS group—originally made up of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa—recently expanded its membership to include Egypt, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates.

 

What a lovely group. 

 

They should have tariffs imposed for human rights abuses alone.

Excellent, Biden put tarrifs (sanctions) on Putin, Trump has not. 
 

Although he has argued for removing sanctions on Russia:

Thanks. At least I am consistent.

 

 

Nice strawman. I see you are also consistent. 😃

 

As you know, I didn't say Trump added them, I said the US has tariffs on Russia.

 

More specifically, I was disproving Tug's post that there were no US tariffs on Russia. 

 

Maybe best to try to disprove things that I actually said in future Chomps...

All you need now is to disprove the other part of Tug’s post that you declared wrong.

 

The bit about “ he [Trump] wouldn’t put any tariffs on his pal.“


We expected an answer tomorrow, but Trump is having another bout of dither and delay, his latest vacillation coming up with August 1.

 

Do stick around.

 Please quote where I declared that part specifically to be wrong. Oh, that's right - I didn't. 

 

Another strawman. You're really on form today Chomps. 😂

It would be foolish to declare the result while the game is still in progress.

No country is rushing to kiss his rear. He can pull up his pants. It will be another TACO come August. Meanwhile the tariff uncertainty has impact the economy with business investments freezing, and consumer spending affected while the game is still in progress.

So you don't think this from Tug referred to trump?

"that’s trumps bestie he wouldn’t put any tariffs on his pal."

BRICS countries scoffed at him for his infantile threats. Brazilian President mocked him saying "the world doesn't need an emperor". Trump previously threatened big tariffs if BRICS moved away from dollar and then boast that he he had brokened up BRICS. In fact BRICS expanded from 5 to 10 member countries. The group has also reduced to 1/3 of previous trade in USD by acelerating their own system facilating transaction in local currencies and reduced western payment system like SWIFT. BRICS countries has overtook the G7 countries share of the world's total gross domestic product and in terms of purchasing power parity. BRICS economies eclipse the G7. Trump has no clue what he is dealing with. All threatrics and bluster from the buffoon. .

It was clear that I was referring to and successfully refuting the first part of the sentence.

 

But you already knew that.

As long as BRICS remains a trade bloc and not a political bloc then it will be a viable balance to a bullying so-called ally. This could shake up global trade. BRICS is half of the world population with 32% of global GDP in PPP, and is bigger than the G7. Clearly, it will act parallel to the dollar and not replace it, but it should help spread the risk for countries. 

 

Trump's tariffs will accelerate the decline of the dollar's dominance and make more urgent the parallel BRICS payment system.

The empire can’t compete fairly so it is resorting to below the belt tactics. Unfortunately it’s on the way down. Only if the leaders used cooperative approaches the great country would stay on top. Too much corruption and foreign interests are rotting it from the inside. Wake up people take your country back.
