We're already in a tariff war with China.  It started roughly four decades ago and has been incredibly one-sided for almost the entirety of that span.  The US didn't really fight back until about 6 years ago.

I don't know that our actions made us "poorer."  Taking a look at inflation as one metric, after the implementation of tariffs, inflation wavered down a bit in 2018, up a bit in 2019, and down a bit in 2020.  It didn't make a noticeable increase until 2021, in the aftermath of the pandemic and all of the supply chain challenges it created.

But tariffs aren't the only problem with trade with China.  Almost all industry in China is either state-owned or state-controlled, and all of it is state-subsidized.  So, even if they placed zero tariff on, say, a laptop computer import manufactured by Dell or HP, they'll still subsidize state-controlled Lenovo to the point that it's the cheapest option for Chinese consumers, no matter WHAT the cost.

I don't think you're being very objective.  You act like Gaza has no ports.  As if it doesn't receive tons of international aid.  And the good people there never see any of it. 

Stop pretending that you have all the facts and no one else does.  Palestine receives tens of billions of dollars of foreign aid and yet it's people starve.  That's not Israel.  That's Hamas.  They force their own people to suffer from within.

You can pretend Israel is the problem here.  Be my guest.  But don't expect me to drink your slanted Kool-Aid. 

I am objective as it gets.

People who seem so certain about a complex situation are rarely right.

Maybe possibly so.
