By destroying many nuclear-capable strategic bombers operated by the russian terrorist state, Ukrainian forces have made the world a lot safer.
While the rest of the world sits back and refuses to fight, Ukrainians do what needs to be done. Thank you, defenders!

While the US’ hard power was feared or admired around the world, it was really its soft power that was the envy of the world. Much harder to build, and so influential.
Seeing it being dismantled in this way is quite something.

So if I’m reading this correctly, USTR used the “trade deficit divided by imports” formula. And then they added two variables which, multiplied together, equal 1 and therefore do not change the result. Just to make things look a bit more scientific?

I tried to simplify it to my kid like this: you buy something at the store for $50. Then Trump says that store stole $50 from you so he's going to tax the store $25. Store now charges $75.
