Trump mistakes tariffs for a magic wand. He’ll turn them into an instrument of mass destruction. This is one of his more moronic ideas, and let’s hope he drops it. From RT at swentr.site:
Anyone looking to replace the US dollar can “wave goodbye to America,” the president-elect has declared

The BRICS nations will be hit with 100% tariffs on their goods if they try to introduce a reserve currency to rival the dollar, US President-elect Donald Trump has warned. Trump has repeatedly threatened to use tariffs to achieve his geopolitical goals.
”The idea that the BRICS Countries are trying to move away from the Dollar while we stand by and watch is OVER,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform on Saturday.
Trump went on to say that he would ask the BRICS nations to promise not to create a common currency, “nor back any other currency to replace the mighty US dollar,” or they will face 100% tariffs.
”They can go find another ‘sucker!’” he continued. “There is no chance that the BRICS will replace the US Dollar in International Trade, and any Country that tries should wave goodbye to America.”
RF waved goodbye but read that Ruble is down 7% in the past week?
I have an early 1960s Ruble but the professor would not come off the KGB hat or hand cranked radio.
Bolsheviki enemedia says down 35% since sanctions began and Andrei M was mocking some Polish lickspittle for the fake and GAE empire saying that they are going to wipe out, BTW gas is $1.16 over there.
They [RF] had enough to build the Oreshnik though because VV Putin knows WWIII is coming.
