    What is "good" contextually here?

    If you believe in zero-sum I win you lose, then much of this policy is aiming to do precisely that. Badly executed but that's the intent.

    I don't believe in that, I genuinely believe in mutuality even between competing parties, build a bigger economy stuff, and so most-favoured-nation multilateral free trade.

    This is not my world view. I can't steelman this well, but I think that's where you go here.

    BTW you are a young, low karma account. That has implications for many people.

    The end of US hegemony. Opportunities for gains via insider trading. These people are not and never have been playing chess, you’re watching a game of tic-tac-toe where the first player starts in a corner.
