Every country in the world needs all the other countries more than all of the other countries need it. There's just no real leverage, because we're all interconnected; you can snip one country out, and it'll slightly hurt everyone, but it'll *wreck* the country that was snipped out.

This is just such an absolutely perfect summary. I wish we could American politicians to speak this clearly to explain why this is such a bad idea.

You're very kind, thank you.

It wouldn't matter. The public doesn't listen directly to politicians, it gets filtered through the media first, and the media picks and chooses which parts they actually report. The people who would actually hear this already know. The people who would need to hear it never will because Fox won't show it to them.

That would require American politicians to have a spine. Those are in short supply.
