Doubling down on sycophancy, over tariffs and 5% of GDP austerity to fund US military purchases/force amplification was never going to be "rewarded". Locking into extortionist US climate terrorist energy is inflationary, as is cutting off goods for people and loss of market access, and heavy borrowing caused interest hikes, is recessionary.
There is also zero chance of having an impact on Ukraine war. Russia is self sufficient in energy and raw materials. Declaring economic war on India and China is going to lose their neutrality in the conflict, including supplying Ukraine with energy and drone components. Telling that the US is taking a chickenshit approach of not going first, or not making the threats by tweet.
