Hey I’m curious how far do these trade retaliations go you think. I mean economic warfare never lead to a shooting war right? Well I no sanctions but escalatory trade, financial and business sanctions are supposed to last until the opponent cracks.
So who do you think will break before it becomes to costly?
“So who do you think will break before it becomes to costly?”
Not sure...
We don’t have a lot of real leverage on Russia (Obama WILL NOT, under any circumstances, use Reagan’s “Cheap energy” strategy). and they don’t have much leverage on us.
The leverage, for both sides, is in Europe, with the smaller nations being the most vulnerable.
I think these are trial balloons, floated to gauge what the reactions will be.
