🇺🇸‼️THIS IS TRUMP'S SECRET FORMULA FOR TARIFFS (With the example of SERBIA of as much as 37%), the answer is incredibly banal!‼️

Trump's new tariffs appear to have been determined based on a Google search of the US trade deficit with Serbia.

American President Donald Trump last night cut tariffs to countries around the world, and among the most affected was Serbia with 37 percent. During the cut, he referred to the alleged 74 percent of tariffs (74 divided by 2 equals 37) that Serbia has on American goods, which puzzled all Serbian analysts and economists who had never heard of such and such Serbian tariffs. How did Trump even get to the figure of 74 percent?! 👇

After a little research, it seems that everything is much more banal and bizarre than everyone thought, and that Trump's people used - Google search! And the first results.

Unfortunately, that seems to be the case! This is the formula by which the Trump administration has calculated reciprocal tariffs. There are only three steps.

If you type "US Serbia trade deficit" into Google, the following comes up at the top of the search results:

"Overview In January 2025, the United States exported $16.9M and imported $66.5M from Serbia, resulting in a negative trade balance of $49.7M." 👇

The results show that in January of this year, the USA exported to Serbia goods worth 16.9 million dollars, and imported goods worth 66.5 million dollars, which created an American trade deficit with Serbia of 49.7 million dollars.

And this seems to be where we get to Trump's bizarre formula for cutting tariffs on Serbia: if we divide the US deficit by Serbian exports to the US and round that figure, we get the exact figure of alleged Serbian tariffs of 74 percent from Trump's table from last night:

49.7 divided by 66.5 multiplied by 100 percent = 74 percent

and 74 divided by 2 = 37

And that is the exact amount of the new tariffs imposed on Serbia by Trump. 👇

🇺🇸🇮🇱💥🇮🇷...‼️The final phase of the strike! Israel is preparing the attack of the century on Iran - Russia is entering the game!‼️

April 2, 2025

While the world is still trying to recover from the latest war tensions, Israeli television "Kanal 14" shocked the public with a story about preparations for what they call "the biggest military attack since World War II." 👇

According to journalists, Israel is already in the final stage of preparations for an attack on key military and industrial facilities on the territory of the Islamic Republic of Iran. While the world speculates whether the United States will be directly involved in this, another key player is on the horizon - Russia. 👇

The television program showed potential targets - nuclear facilities, military bases and command centers. No exact date was given for the start of the operation, but the tension is clearly felt. The anchor's voice sounded cold but decisive: "The time for action is drawing near. Iran will be hit harder than ever before." 👇

🇨🇳‼️China's large-scale military exercise around Taiwan — A dress rehearsal for a military operation?‼️

A few minutes after midnight on April 1, at least six Chinese coast guard patrol boats in two groups sailed from ports on the country's east coast, taking up positions north, south, and east of Taiwan, while two more missile frigates entered the waters of the Taiwan Strait. 👇

According to official statements from Taipei, taking into account both these forces and the Northern Fleet strike group that has been in the Pacific since March 31, the Chinese navy has deployed 21 ships in the immediate vicinity of Taiwan. 👇

After the activation of naval forces, increased activity was observed at Chinese airfields, with as many as 71 aircraft taking off, 36 of which crossed the centerline of the strait during the exercise, entering the zone of action of Taiwan's air defenses. 👇

🇺🇸🇱🇹‼️The story about the death of American soldiers in Lithuania took an unexpected turn‼️

April 1, 2025

The tragedy that took place at the end of March in Lithuania is getting more and more mysterious, and the details that are slowly emerging open a series of questions for the American army, NATO structures, as well as for local authorities. 👇

It is an incident in which the American armored rescue vehicle M88A2 Hercules sank in a swamp during a military exercise, and the bodies of three soldiers were not found until six days later. The search for the fourth crew member is still ongoing, but suspicions are piling up.

According to an official statement from the US military, the soldiers went missing early in the morning on March 25 while participating in an operation to tow an immobilized tactical vehicle. The Hercules vehicle, weighing more than 60 tons, sank in a swamp near the Lithuanian test site. The situation became even more complicated when the rescue teams, after several days of painstaking recovery operations, found three bodies in the vehicle, but not the expected fourth. 👇

In the meantime, unusual information arrives from Belarus - the border service there arrested a 27-year-old American citizen who tried to sneak into the territory of Belarus from Lithuania as a stowaway.

What attracted the attention of war correspondent Yevgeniy Lisitsyn was the coincidence of time and circumstances. A young American was caught in an empty freight car on the Kena-Molodečno line, not long after the Hercules sank, and the body of the fourth crew member was not found. 👇

🇪🇺💥🇷🇺‼️Johnson: Macron and some EU leaders who want war are not aware of what kind of weapons Russia has‼️

While the presidents and prime ministers of European countries sit at round tables, work out plans and brandish sabers from the comfort of their palaces, former CIA operative Larry Johnson coolly drops the ball. 👇

His message is clear and uneasy: Europe is not ready for war with Russia - neither mentally, nor infrastructurally, nor militarily. But that does not prevent her from pushing the world to the brink of the abyss with every gesture, every statement and every loan pumped into Kyiv.

"They don't have the resources, they don't have the industry, they don't have the military power. But then again, they pushed themselves into a conflict with Russia like it was their job," Johnson warned in a recent conversation on the YouTube channel. His voice was not alarming - more tired. As a man who has seen systems crack, empires collapse and ideologies swallow themselves. 👇

Johnson is not the only one to see the paradox – the European powers are behaving as if they are waging a war, and they are not even close to having basic logistical capabilities. "Forget tanks and rockets," he says. "Ask yourself one question: Do they have the infrastructure to feed the army, provide fuel, deliver ammunition and replace parts for damaged equipment?"

In the silence of many military cabinets, the answer is whispered: They don't have any. 👇

🇷🇺‼️The time has come to pay for bad political decisions - Ignoring Putin's warnings was a dangerous mistake‼️

For years, Russian President Vladimir Putin has been sending out warnings. He spoke about red lines, about the expansion of NATO, about Russian security. And what was the West doing? Shrugging his shoulders, he went his own way - and now the guild of those decisions is becoming more and more clear and more and more expensive. 👇

Mat Whatley, a veteran of the British army and former head of the OSCE mission in Donetsk, is speaking about this now, for The Spectator.

Whatley says bluntly what many continue to avoid: Refusal to heed Putin's warnings about Ukraine was dangerous and counterproductive. He recalls that since the early 2000s, Putin has been talking about the fact that Russia perceives the expansion of NATO to the east as a direct threat.

He had been saying it for years, but no one in the West really wanted to hear it. Today, with tanks rolling across the steppes and cities burning, it is clear how disastrous ignoring those warnings was. 👇

"When British Foreign Secretary David Lammy says that Putin cannot have a veto on security matters, it's like saying you won't listen to your opponent in peace talks," Whatley said. In short - if you want peace, you have to talk to the enemy, not act like he doesn't exist.

This attitude is not isolated. And former German Chancellor Angela Merkel recently warned that the world cannot continue to ignore Russian interests. She reminds that the West stopped taking into account Putin's position on NATO, and that this did not bring any positive results. On the contrary, the world today is closer to a direct confrontation between the great powers than at any time since the Cold War. 👇
