    ok, but realize what that’s going to cost in the near term, and it’s going to be more painful than any war you’ve ever fought, any fire you’ve ever put out, and any economic downturn your country has ever experienced, up front, and i don’t believe most modern economies want to shoot themselves in the head quite yet, they’ll have to endure humilating trade concessions which will shrink their economies gradually, but they’re not gonna want to pull that rip cord just because they’re a bit miffed
