We have the choice to accept their rulings or not to

Our Congress and president has given them the power to harm us economically if we do not kowtow.

A sovereign nation making descisions in the best interest of its people doesn't do things like that.

If we were a sovereign nation they would have absolutely NO POWER TO LEVY FINES or any other kind of punitive action against us!

Sure they would. Other nations charge tariffs on our goods all the time. Some even ban some of our products from their countries. Tariffs are no different than fines.

What are they going to do if we don't pay the fine? The worse they could do is put us back to where we were before any agreement.
