murder Member	Wed Apr 02 20:15:21 Diego Garcia is part of the British Indian Ocean Territory ... which is uninhabited except for the UK & US military personnel stationed there. It got hit with a 10% tariff.

Sam Adams Member	Wed Apr 02 20:48:46 Lol i was going to post the heard and McDonald island bit with a funny title damn you murder
Sam Adams Member	Wed Apr 02 20:53:47 Man i want to go climb those now. Heard island has an active glaciated stratovolcano at 9kft that looks a lot like rainier and blanc. No crouds at that trailhead! That would be epic. Mountain and island to yourself. All you need is a decent sailboat and a lot of time.
tumbleweed the wanderer	Thu Apr 03 00:35:49 he said he was doing a minimum of 10% on everyone to serve as a warning not to screw us (don't recall his exact wording) may the world all unite & be happy without us
LazyCommunist Member	Thu Apr 03 01:59:54 No tariffs on Russia!
murder Member	Thu Apr 03 06:01:58 "Lol i was going to post the heard and McDonald island bit with a funny title damn you murder" Well at least give us the funny title.
Sam Adams Member	Thu Apr 03 10:06:28 Lol are there really no tarrifs on russia?
Rugian Member	Thu Apr 03 10:12:46 Probably because Russia is sanctioned.

williamthebastard Member	Thu Apr 03 10:55:44 "Probably because Russia is sanctioned." This makes zero sense to anyone living outside of Maganania
williamthebastard Member	Thu Apr 03 10:58:12 "Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told Fox News on Wednesday that Moscow was spared because sanctions imposed on the country after its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022 mean that U.S.-Russian trade had effectively stopped. But last year, Russia still exported about $3 billion worth of goods to the United States, according to U.S. trade figures, mostly fertilizer and platinum. That figure is significantly higher than the value of U.S. imports from some smaller countries that Mr. Trump targeted, such as Laos and Fiji"
Rugian Member	Thu Apr 03 11:05:15 No it doesn't retard. But go on, keep believing the *so much more likely* explanation that Russia was left off because Trump is Putin's Manchurian candidate.
williamthebastard Member	Thu Apr 03 11:07:33 "This makes zero sense to anyone living outside of Maganania" "No it doesn't retard." Yeah, youre probably right, I suppose it doesnt even make sense even to Maga fascists
williamthebastard Member	Thu Apr 03 11:09:29 The one good thing we can take solace in is that the WWII fascists were a whole lot more competent than the Maga neofascist schoolyard delinquents
Rugian Member	Thu Apr 03 11:09:47 Talking to yourself is a sure sign of mental illness. Just saying.
tumbleweed the wanderer	Thu Apr 03 11:22:06 the only way to explain tariffing uninhabited islands is a blanket 100% locations global tariff, thus Russia should be included
williamthebastard Member	Thu Apr 03 11:23:05 Then maybe you should stop, little idiot neofascist
Rugian Member	Thu Apr 03 11:24:12 tumbleweed the wanderer Thu Apr 03 11:22:06 the only way to explain tariffing uninhabited islands is a blanket 100% locations global tariff, thus Russia should be included And Cuba? North Korea? Somalia?
williamthebastard Member	Thu Apr 03 11:24:50 probably because their trade with the US is a joke?
williamthebastard Member	Thu Apr 03 11:27:05 Of course, in NK's case, Kim and the neofascist are "in love" with each other
tumbleweed the wanderer	Thu Apr 03 11:30:57 Trump loves North Korea & maybe he launders money w/ Cubans too probably incompetence for forgetting the rest, pretty hard to forget Russia exists (he brought up his lies about dairy w/ Canada during his announcement ramble, so i bet -Trump- thinks & means for Canada to be on the list (& Mexico))
Rugian Member	Thu Apr 03 12:18:26 You people are idiots. Yes, the Trump administration slapped tariffs on the entire world with a few exceptions, all of which are due to gross incompetence other than Russia, which was an intentional act because Trump wants to fellate Putin. Fucking amazing
williamthebastard Member	Thu Apr 03 12:24:33 A trump puppet calling people idiots is too ironic lol
Rugian Member	Thu Apr 03 12:25:43 You, WTB, are an idiot.
williamthebastard Member	Thu Apr 03 12:35:43 Shhh, little zombie puppet. One theory being advanced is that the tariffs are in fact intended to harm US companies, the point being that he will reward those industries that bow down to him by relieving the tariff taxes he has imposed on them. Its possibkle, I suppose.
tumbleweed the wanderer	Thu Apr 03 12:37:08 Trump has repeatedly brought up wanting trade deals w/ Russia as part of forcing Ukraine to surrender to them, & very easy to believe he would intentionally exclude them (plus the fact he claimed he would put on more tariffs & sanctions if they didn't stop the war... they haven't done shit... he hasn't done shit...) although on this issue, i don't know how the media is determining which countries are in or out, the executive order mentions the blanket 10% on everyone, then exceptions too complicated for me to want to investigate
williamthebastard Member	Thu Apr 03 12:38:26 By imposing tariff taxes, the WH gets to weild omnipotent power over all commercial actors in the free market, is the theory.
tumbleweed the wanderer	Thu Apr 03 13:47:43 seems the reciprocal tariffs aren't reciprocal at all... the values calculated entirely off the trade deficit http://ustr.gov/issue-areas/reciprocal-tariff-calculations (w/ some greek letters thrown in that they then apply values to cancel out and equal 1) then his lying charts claiming the calculation is a tariff by that country to make it seem like we're just applying 'reciprocal' tariffs back then even more complete lies for those without trade deficits (like the UK) & lying that they apply 10% tariffs so we are too yay lies
murder Member	Thu Apr 03 16:32:25 "Probably because Russia is sanctioned." Iran is sanctioned and got tariffed.
