It is difficult to convey how monumentally idiotic Trump’s tariffs are.
Allow me to try.

In the 200 years prior to Smith’s 1776 “Wealth of Nations” Mercantilism was the dominant view of trade.

1/ The Russian army is reported to have come up with a new way of saving costs: it is forcing mobilised soldiers to sign contracts, which means they do not have to be paid as much if they are not on the front line. ⬇️
