The US has created an entire parallel global economy with its rampant use of sanctions-based warfare. If you sanction everyone, eventually, you just sanction yourself as enemies freely trade with enemies.

And Trump is going to make it even worse with his plans to place tariffs on everyone from China to NATO and NAFTA partners.

All while the parallel global economy just grows and grows.

Exactly, the US has destroyed its greatest strength by abusing sanctions.
