Too much political noises and not enough fact.

Why would any country not to have the following:

Industrial based

Customers based

Stop focusing on exporting too much.

Because trade is a benefit for both parties.

And lack of trade takes your economy back decades.

I did not say trade is not needed. Just don't make trade 50% or more of your economic activities.

You'll have to be prepared to take the hit on your GDP and general wealth then.

Just look at how UK has developed after Brexit.

Like back to the 70s then.

Shipbuilding.

Soon it will be economically viable for them to open up the coal mines again.

Then everyone can have a job. Even the children. Just like North Korea.

(Brexit was 2020)
