re: #160 Jadespring

Our trade agreement with Vietnam was based strictly on tariffs and removal of certain subsidies. I don’t believe that is enough. Personally I think our trade policies should be tied to our national security goals. In the long run it’s a whole lot cheaper to affect change with trade than with military methods. I understand the demands of US businesses but if they don’t like it too damn bad. If we don’t want to outlaw companies doing business with certain governments then we’re well within our rights to make sure it’s costly for those companies that do.
