I think that Russia was omitted to give something to use in the peace talks alongside the secondary sanctions that have been threatened. Regardless there should be zero trade happening with Russia because of the sanctions so why would tarriffs make sense.

I also feel that this is a ripping the band aid off approach to destroying globalism. The Biden administration was already toning down the globalism of Peter Ziehan was correct, as we saw with their tepid responses to the red sea fiasco but now Trump has upped the attacks on the houthis too so I'm not quite sure what to think.
