Economic warfare is warfare tout court. I hope Americans are prepared for the retaliation that is bound to come, and for the decades of resentment and xenophobic hatred that are the likely upshot of this business of foreign economic aggression against the people of Iran.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the Weimar hyperinflation sparked by the oppressive insistence of the victorious WWI allies on German payment of a heavy war debt did not exactly lead to pliant German submission and an era of international cooperation.
