Trade agreements in principle are fine. They start out as ideal at the level of barter (goods for goods) and go down from there. It's always best to produce from within when possible, most things that require trade are luxury goods anyway (for example spices that even today are difficult to grow outside their native climate). Do you really need cinnamon that badly?

If another nation has resources that benefit our interests and progress our goals, it would be ignorant to stifle our own progress by not trading for that resource.

Nations should focus on self sufficiency not trade deals . Pay the locals decent wages to create stuff and they will reward you with demand and good prices , importing shit from Bangladesh where serfs are paid €3/day will only benefit elites and their politician dogs.

I definitely think USMC is the direction to go. Focus on our neighbors, and not some countries on the other side of the planet. They are kind of the buffer between us and the rest of the world. Trade can and should be mutually beneficial. If we can help Mexico increase trade and reduce cartel power, their economy will boom. While helping America's problems with Cartels and shit hole countries using us as a social pressure release.

Enders Game universe had a similar concept. A slowly spreading global trade network between sovereign nations that upheld basic human rights.

To use Europe as an example. European nations didn't need to give up their sovereignty to the EU (Germany, but at least Germany didn't win the war and take over Europe, right?) in order to trade with other European nations.

Great points, especially about trade reducing Mexican cartel power.

I hope more nations leave the EU too and regain their nations back. All this forced migration in Europe seems to be the EU covertly trying to further erase borders and nationalism to dig their hooks in deeper.

Even at the humanitarian level, we need more first world nations not less.

They aren't inherently antithetical to nationalism, but they can seem that way sometimes because globalists use treaties to try and push their agenda without having it be subjected to the scrutiny of voters. Just look at how they turned the european trade agreements in the tyrannical and antidemoocratic European Union. When EU treaties were put to a popular vote and rejected, the globalists backdoored the treaties into law anyway.

Yes. They’re completely unnecessary. Trade exists without trade agreements. Only jews would pretend otherwise, because only jews need that middleman to survive.

Heh. Someone ought to run that by the optics committee for the normies. Instead of saying "Hang the bankers", which is obviously anti-semitic, A/B test "Hang the middlemen", which any SBO recognizes as a parasite.
