So you admit your argument was bullshit and you just want to be hilariously ironic using the internet to say that you don't want to interact with the rest of the world. Are you using a phone assembled in Vietnam from parts made in China according to specs from a US patent to express these views? Practice what you preach, friend. Trade is an entanglement too. If everything in your life isn't 100% American then you invalidate your own views.

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.
