      Two largest economies/militaries/second + third largest nuclear arsenals being heavily economically dependant on each other is good for stability.

        So it’s not “trading more with Mexico is bad” and rather “not trading so much with China is bad”. That makes sense. Thanks

      Basically nation states are like teenagers and we’ve decided to stop hanging out with one of the popular girls because we’ve decided Becky down the street is nicer, so what if she doesn’t have as much money. Meanwhile, Susan is prone to jealousy and lashing out and is probably going to make our lives really upsetting by spreading rumors about how we’ve got a pencil dick and we’ve been sleeping with that one kid who everyone bullies that smells funny
