This is such a strange worldview, and so obviously bonkers, unless one applies it to all human behavior, in which case you basically get rid of ethics entirely.

Not that the U.S. is actually capable of putting a very tight squeeze on any major economy. It couldn't even get rid of Castro.


Difference of 4x the population and 32x the GDP. The EU cannot sanction the world's biggest economy into submission, but if a third of the G8 combined cannot take care of Turkey.....well, then they are a paper tiger that seems to be holding their members back.
