@arstechnica my recommendation used to be to avoid them (US maga gov) wherever possible, keep your head down and if you're forced to engage, just keep them busy with bureaucracy and housekeeping crap.

I'm beginning to think it's time for every state around the world to push back and use trade-retaliation at every turn. Make them an embattled pariah state.
