Everything is just so unnecessary. Everyone is worse of, no one wins. So stupid.
- Putin wins.
  
  How?
  If he plans to buy a golden card to flee Russia, he would prefer hist destination to be a stable country. If he plans on using the US as military support, he would prefer it to stay reasonably rich, as long as it doesn't also help his enemies... And Canada and Mexico are not on the Russian list of enemies (or at least not until recently, Canada probably is now).
In reaction to tariffs on China, Beijing announced additional tariffs of up to 15% on imports of key U.S. farm products, including chicken, pork, soy and beef, and expanded controls on doing business with key U.S. companies.
China's new tariffs will take effect starting March 10. They follow U.S. President Donald Trump’s order to raise tariffs on imports of Chinese products to 20% across the board. Those took effect on Tuesday, along with 25% tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico.
- That's some serious retaliatory action there on China.
  Their government has always been very wary of getting between their population and pork.
Here we go. Everyone fuck us up. We deserve this.
