There was a lot of inflation before tariffs, and it didn't even have the effect of slowing China down economically or Russia militarily.

It slowed down Americans because we aren't recently used to it. The rich did adapt relatively quickly by buying up all the housing they could at negative real interest, stocks, gold, and to a lesser extent crypto.
The lesson has been learned by this point though, even a day laborer is holding silver and crypto nowadays because we have in recent memory the COVID shenanigans of mass QE.
People in China and Russia have basically taken for granted so long that their currency is completely manipulated, they all already knew to not be hoodwinked.
