Lindsey Graham says the Senate will soon pass his "boner-munching" Russian sanctions bill that will put a 500% tariff on China. If this is true, what will happen? Will China back down and stop buying Russian oi?

>Will China back down and stop buying Russian oil?
Yes

>>510192830 (OP)
China is Russia will have all the reasons to nuke USA

>>510192934

Great depression 2.0 in by October.

This is good. One of the first acts of congress in 1789 was to levy tariffs. 30-40% is normal. This is just America going back to tradition.

India might cave. China will not. Russia is China's helmet and emergency resource reserve, and they're not going to throw that under the bus. More likely is a complete breakdown in US-China trade. China has been preparing for this moment for years; they can handle it.

Nah. No country will accept the 500% tariff. They're just stop buying Russian oil. It's the ultimate liquid commodity and there's lots of other countries selling it besides Russia.

They can't do that even if they wanted.

>>510193567
Notice how you didn't say why and how I did say why?

>>510193670
But then the US will make China stop buying oil from Iran and Venezuela and then Saudi Arabia and then the Chinese will go back to burning coal for energy.

I hope this passes.

Then USsharts will get 0 (processed) rare earth, will be funny to watch you bleed out.

HAWT HAWT HAWT!!!

Then China will just buy 100% of Russia's oil exports
Russia's oil exports, both crude and refined product, are 7.5mpbd
China's oil imports are 11mpbd

China won't cave. Russia is too important to throw under the bus. Besides, even if China were to follow the demands of this law, Trump could just jack up the tariffs to 50000% tomorrow for some new made up reason anyway. In fact, he's even more likely to do so once he's sensed weakness in his opponent. There will be no end to the list of demands. So China might as well bite the bullet immediately.

They already burn more coal than the rest of the world combined.

China already caved to Trump on tariffs. And you hide your flag for a reason.
