The ball is in their court then, and is even more so with protectionist 'pyssing contests' involving others, subjects, like 2 monarchs going at it in a game of jacks at the playground. Businesses will just leave and go to Cnada like Impac Wrestling did from Nashvill and open partnerships with Chnese wrestling companies like middl kingdom or O W E and C I M A, like A E W is doing. U S S A citizens lose out. Not 1 step backward as well, but that is dealt with with more freedom, it's very fragile a system if U S S A is disarmed and jackbooted thugs who commit warcrimes during the midterm elections that isn't covered (whytephosphorous) and jackbooted thugs with a monopoly om defense on the homefront don't follow their own rules/laws. The State is unsustainable and anarchy is the answer, polycentricity and economies-of-scale WORKS and can spread like a virus to every other country and destroy them, on Earth, under it, and beyond it, the State produces nothing not evl and the private sector of enterprise cannot produce, even better, except for tragedy of the commons/desertification, which is what the State inevitably leads to.

Render the systems obsolete, -Buckminstr Fullr The question is who/which is the country willing to show the olivebranch first in this gameofchicken at the swimming pool? WarGamez, only way to win is not to play. Play chess instead.
