Indeed...we are the only country that uses trade to influence others. You got us.

Who said use of trade? The threat are sanctions to ban the use of the software, like they cancelled the ICC investigators bank account on behalf of the US.

You're the only western country that enforces their sanctions on third party countries.

For instance a german customer can't pay a german merchant via PayPal if he buys Cuban cigars, despite it's done by PayPal Europe S.a.r.l. et Cie s.c.a.

And don't forget the things with Greenland.

  • The threat are sanctions

    Which is trade. Thanks for playing.

    • Saying things like “thanks for playing” goes against the HN guideline of “avoiding snark”.
