they have an intellectual obligation to be exactly wrong on everything. they think sanctions on goods can be used to indefinitely control foreign militaries and that even the slightest tariffs (which are typically a fraction of what those countries are doing domestically to keep us from selling goods in their markets) serve zero utility in temporarily managing asymmetric international trade. their stupidity is the entire reason why developing nations will be willing to risk being a part of brics when it would have been laughed into irrelevance if the biden administration had even the slightest competence in managing us global trade.
