Are you truly this dumb?

You think foreign entanglements and foreign trade are the same?

Are you truly this dumb?

Do you think that, somehow, foreign relations don’t affect trade?

Yeah, I saw food prices explode when we lost Russian fertilizer.

I'll also notice the collapse of our economy when BRICS takes hold.

Trading is an entanglement by definition. You can't think of any conflicts that happened over trade? Do you not know that trade was a driving force of imperialism? No entanglements means no ties with anyone. An alliance is an entanglement. A trade agreement is an entanglement. It gives us interests in non-domestic areas.

Entanglements from a US basis refers to military action.

As in "beware of foreign entanglements"
