I'll note that you pulled the above out of your ass. Not even a strawman, because you made it up. But you are the expert with "logic," I suppose.
If your expletive is because I put what you said into an if/then statement, fine, guilty as charged. However, feel free to show me you didn’t present a false dichotomy. I already did, you’re wrong, and it doesn’t matter if you accept it or not. The fact is that there IS NO benefit to a sovereign nation, in “free” trade. The only benefit would be to have an alliance/treaty with a country in exchange for something, and then the trade isn’t the “free” trade that’s goin on now. The U.S. (as a country) benefits not at all. Some corporations do, but at the expense of sovereignty and everyone else’s ability to compete, because they write the very regulations that politicians pass to exclude everyone else from being able to compete.
