Neighbor needs to stop threatening everyone with tariffs.
In most cases it will backfire

That's what you get when you have r-slurs who think tariffs are a magical tax on foreigners, and not on your own citizens, I guess.

Look on the bright side. China will still never surpass the US.

It works if it's only a few isolated countries. If they're overused, the sanctioned nations just start relying on each other. Kind of encourages enemy nations to become more economically dependent on each other, reducing the influence of the nation applying the tariffs.

No. Tariffs are generally ineffective because once the host country imposes one, the other country does as well. Now you've got a tax on each country's imports and exports to each other, so consumers and suppliers lose while their government kind of makes more tax revenue.

Except they don't provide enough money and we're already broke. Even at 100% tariffs it doesn't even come close

stop subsidising gayaids programs overseas and maybe euthanise the boomers. There's plenty of ways they could cut spending.

When you threaten the whole fricking world they'll realize that we make nothing but electronic 1s and 0s and just say "frick you, keep your Netflix and X and make your own iron, fertilizer, tires, shoes, everything else"
Then they'll get together and say "stop trading oil in these neighbor's money"

The US could make that, it's just a bit cheaper to pay some random loser in the third world a couple pennies.
I don't understand why the thirdies believe they have any "leverage" over America

The problem is these industries, if they were primarily domestic, need a lot of manpower to put out enough products to satisfy the US market. It is much more profitable if you have a highly educated workforce to have them work in specialist jobs which allow for higher pay and therefore more spending power.
If instead your highly educated workforce is working on farms, making shoes or whatever you lose a lot of money

The west has outsiurced its production and doesn't have the local infrastructure or qualified personnel to start a new one.
You'll be years behind if you try to start now; you not only need developed patents and the educated manpower to build the factories, you also need the educated manpower to run the factories.
Yea good luck finding that in the US, where your average worker works in a franchise or struggles to find a job...

A lot of information work will be replaced by AI
so its not a valid basis for wealth distribution 
in the US. Also we become dependant on the rest of the world, which fricks us in the end 
. For example look at how China 
and southeast asia has deindustrialized the US economy and now we have to go toe for toe with china 
to defend taiwan. Or look at how we're dependent on saudi oil
