Trump during Wartime

and be prepared
for some huge changes
the early results from
NAFTA are a huge win
still it has to be exhasting
fighting on so many fronts
what would Sun Tzu say?

The United States is currently waging economic warfare against one tenth of the world’s countries with cumulative population of nearly 2 billion people and combined gross domestic product (GDP) of more than $15 trillion.

These include Russia, Iran, Venezuela, Cuba, Sudan, Zimbabwe, Myanmar, the Democratic Republic of Congo, North Korea and others on which Washington has imposed sanctions over the years, but also countries like China, Pakistan and Turkey which are not under full sanctions but rather targets of other punitive economic measures.

Should they succeed, the impact on America’s global posture would be transformational.
