Real talk: is there such a thing as a non-tariff response to what the US is doing that doesn't amount to, essentially, rolling over while the US to curb stomps us? What's the alternative? Because 70% seems low.
Cutting off the power we supply to them.
Isolated places like Point Roberts would be screwed, and the rest of the US would feel it too.
I’m highly skeptical of the impact this would have, I don’t think the US would feel it much at all. Those isolated places are about it but that probably wouldn’t last long and I doubt US leadership cares much.
Plus that and a lot of the other stuff people are suggesting are single-use weapons. We can only do them once. Be wary of using such measures so early into this.
