What will we do? The worstest of things to happen!
Where will we get our daily ration of steel?! Without our Sacred Chinese Manufacturers, everything will collapse! The Ert will end, and freight forwarders all over the Asian world will go bankrupt!
Dark days ahead. Good God, we can't possibly get our steel from Evil Pittsburgh Hunkies...no good person could want that!
We want them starving and desperate, so we can get our steelsies cheap! Preciouses...come back to us, Preciouses...
If this gets out of hand you’ll have a deepening worldwide Depression followed by a real shooting war — probably with nukes this time. BTW, I think we’ve been in a Depression since 2008.
