If it's about leverage, ask: How much leverage do you get from a tariff that disappears in 150 days?
If it's onshoring: Who builds new factories based on tariff that disappear before the factory is built?
It's a tax. That's all it is.
Russia: bombs Ukraine, damages an oil pipeline to Europe.
The collaborator regimes in Hungary and Slovakia: banning diesel shipments to Ukraine because Russia damaged the pipeline.
The level of inhuman grotesque borders on stupid comedy.
βChildren never start wars, yet they suffer the most from them.β
This was highlighted outside the U.S. Congress during Ukrainian Week in Washington by Yaroslav Oleksiv, the father of 11-year-old Roman, who survived a rocket strike on a clinic in Vinnytsia in the summer of 2022.
The boy, known as βthe boy in the mask,β came to the U.S. capital to show the true cost of war for Ukrainian children and to urge American lawmakers to protect them.

Deterring Russia is the only effective long-term strategy for dealing with Moscow.
Itβs about making the Kremlin see a simple reality every day: war comes at too high a cost. Deterrence must work not just until the end of the current conflict, but far beyond -

As the U.S. tries to starve 10 million Cubans, 15 million kids in the U.S. don't know where their next meal is coming from and more than 600,000 people live on the streets, in addition to the millions, like me, who can't afford healthcare.
