Seems like Trump's strategy is to now bully countries into getting what they want. "I want them out!!! I want Canada!!! I want Greenland!!!
He's basically the equivalent of the kid that flips over the monopoly table when someone bought a property before him.
I feel like all economies will soon be just trading with eachother, except with the US.
They should start now. Countries should cut off trading with the US once Trump starts making threats in their direction, instead of waiting for him to make up his mind and do something. He's too used to there not being any consequences.
It's a good idea and countries started that with Russia though it's still continuing. USA would just follow that model

What do they care about the exchange value if they're not exchanging anything with the US?
Adjusted for PPP, the Russian economy is the 4th biggest in the world, experiencing a boom after the start of the war. Largest than any in Europe.
Everyone knows the USD is artificially inflated and has been for decades, propped up by oil and the threat of violence. Y'all gonna learn when this mother of all bubbles pops.
