When there is a trade war, here is how you know your side will win or lose, assuming both sides stay the course:

Caveat: if your side has rare materials that can only be found on your real estate and they other side needs them to survive, you have them by the balls.

Caveat: if your side has rare materials that can only be found on your real estate and they other side needs them to survive, you have them by the balls.
