I wish I could find another source to confirm this, but if true, that’s basically the nuclear option to kick out all American companies and halt all mineral exports to the US.

    trump doesn’t understand this. The USA gets away with a lot of shit because it does a lot of other good. If we remove the good, we lose the tolerance for our shit.

      He probably does understand it. He’s been believed to be a Russian asset for quite some time now.

        He’s a Russian asset, the question is only whether it’s happening unwittingly. And I think we know how strongly wit can be associated with Trump.

          I keep seeing this, but realistically, what could Russia possibly do to the US? Russia can’t even defeat a tiny country they share a border with. I’d be more worried about China when it comes to an actual threat.

            Russia doesn’t want anything from the the U.S. except what it’s already doing. Fucking shit up on the international stage and thereby destabilizing NATO.

            Any decrease is Western Hegemony is good for Russia. It doesn’t matter whether they achieve it by tossing some people out of windows, or by helping an orange toddler ascend to the highest office in the U.S.

      I’m worried that his response will be military coercion…

        Oh, it absolutely will be. Our drunken defense secretary said that soft power is weakness.

        Might makes right. Get ready for WWIII.

      Just like Felon…stop making electric cars or launching useful satellites and he’s gonna get the reprisal of the public… Much more than now. I assume.
