Re: What effect would trade sanctions have on the USA?
If they ALL stuck to their guns, it would only hurt them each moderately (although some of them drastically in the short term). It would cripple us. We're like 1/5th of the world's GDP but that number overestimates us because wealth is extremely concentrated right now in the US. With sanctions the huge GDP generators would flee for Europe/SE Asia. However what you propose is impossible.
