He’s just going to PO Moscow shoppers.
Access to Western goods is what they really wanted from the fall of Communism. Everyone there knows what kind of crap comes from Russian “food” suppliers.

Russia imports 40% of their food from the West. Smart move Putin.

By allowing the nose to be lopped off, the face has been brought to some sort of disciplinary rebuke.
Such self-mutilation is eventually also self-defeating. The more so because there is none other to blame for the current predicament.

While it’s not good for the US or Russian consumers, I do have to applaud the slap down toward the usurper.

I don’t know where your number is coming from, really.

Can we stop importing Chinese goods now? Actually we should so that
Americans can damn well understand where most of our manufacturing
went to. Yea, I know it would kill our economy but only until America
catches up.
I choose not to support Communist countries.

Russia imports 40% of their food from the West. There are 100 countries Russia can import food from that don't kowtow to the homo-fascists in Brussels and Washington.

That will go over well with his own citizens.
Just for that, I’m going to go off my diet and eat more of that stuff.

As usual, America's Boy King ends up doing more damage to Americans than his supposed target.

Actually we should so that Americans can damn well understand where most of our manufacturing went to. China is just undercutting Thailand and Indonesia and Vietnam. If we stopped buying Chinese crap, the Indonesians and Sri Lankans would pick up the pace.
We aren't going to be bringing those manufacturing jobs back here until we are ready to pay our American workers 50 cents an hour with no benefits.

These countries aren’t the only ones that grow food. Seems the sellers would be hurt more by this.
