Yanis Varoufakis is one of the few that can credibly remove the veil of apparent insanity behind the current tariff policies and explain the logic of it instead (whether those goals will be accomplished is another matter). Not because he is a supporter, but because he understands macroeconomics and modern history from that perspective. A welcome break from the current hysteria, which assumes it knows something but doesn't understand anything.

Is he removing a veil or merely understanding another aspect the implementers of the change do not grasp.
I have serious doubt that anyone currently running the US have much capacity to understand the impact of their actions that much.
