The Story Behind the Crazy Ivan, I think.
First heard in the movie, "Hunt for Red October," the phrase “Crazy Ivan” refers to the practice of Russian submarine commanders to regularly make sudden turns—either to the right or to the left. Submarines appear to have a blind spot, so they don’t know if another submarine is following them closely or not. A strategic unexpected turn. It's dangerous, may result in a collision. So, let's screw around with the US economy, because tRump's likes saying the word "tariffs."
