As Bruce Lee used to point out to those martial artists from Japan and South Korea hitting boards into fragments with bare hands trying to scare him. Bruce pointed out sarcastically that boards do not hit back, but he does. Same as USA hitting Moscow and China and getting retaliated against.
Russia and China will hit back at Washington, perhaps with weapons that Trump has never seen or thought of before. What Iran did to Israel is already enough for Trump to think about clearly what he could expect bombing Moscow or Beijing. With two on one, Trump has nowhere to hide. Trump is a coward only brave enough to bully the weak, if you remember him rushing to hide in a bunker after a skirmish at the White House related to the death of George Floyd in 2020 before Joe Biden took over.
If an attack on Moscow or Beijing really takes place and retaliation resulting in Gaza like destruction in Washington, Trump will yet again blame Joe Biden. The flood and death toll in Texas is now sure enough being blamed on Joe Biden. Thankfully, Joe Biden does not remember a thing. Dementia is bliss.

Trump is now very very unhappy with Putin over Ukraine, for not following his truce trap. I cannot use his superlative big, beautiful or mega in this case to illustrate my point, LOL.
Wasn't Trump supposed to end the Ukraine war within 24 hours of him taking office? What happened? It is now six months since he took office, and the war is still raging. Now he is threatening Putin with 100% tariffs if Putin does not stop the war within 50 days. Now, I am sure that 50 days will be extended by another 50 days. Trump is well known for chickening out.
By the way, what is Russia now exporting to the USA that Putin must be sweating about the 100% tariff? I only know Putin is exporting missiles that have been landing in Ukraine, causing massive destruction, nothing much more than that, LOL.
According to reports, Russia exports to USA amounted to about US$3 billion, in essential items like nuclear fuel for USA's power plants. Russia is also still supplying LNG to Europe and if a push by Trump using heavy handed measures on Europe manages to cut that off with 100% tariffs, Europe will suffer much more than Russia. Russia can do without the USA in this sector. Putin is not going to pee in his pants. China is building nuclear power plants like crazy and needs lots of nuclear fuel.
I could also not help thinking about Trump gloating about USA going to supply 17 batteries of Patriot interceptor missiles to Ukraine. How many missiles can 17 batteries hold? Are they going to be effective against Russia's hypersonic missiles is the question. If the USA is in a position to make missiles en masse for Ukraine, why not supply them to Israel earlier, instead of transferring 20,000 interceptor missiles from Ukraine? With that transfer out of Ukraine, I think Putin saw his opportunity to unload his drones and missiles on Kyiv over the last couple of weeks.
Tariff is such a big, beautiful word that Trump discovered and is using it as a weapon now to make USA great again. While China is building bridges to control essential metals with ASEAN, particularly Indonesia, Trump is sending out letters of demand to countries to announce his big, beautiful tariffs on them.
Instead of doing more constructive things to save the USA, Trump is besotted with his tariff thing. Talk about Nero fiddling while Rome burns.
I cannot understand why everyone is so worked up over tariffs. Tariffs are paid by the importers and the costs will be passed on to the end user.
The only worry is the US cutting back on imports when the actual cost plus tariffs make the imports too expensive expensive for the end users. Exporters should just find alternative buyers for their goods, the global south being the obvious choice.
Let the orange loser isolate and kill themselves. Good riddancewithout firing a shot.
