Sometimes you have to get dirty. Slugging the asshole at the bar generally isn't pleasant for either party because there's always more to deal with than that one punch, but it'll make him think twice about being an asshole. Trade wars are the same way. One country thinks they can cheat and put tariffs and get the best of free trade without reciprocating and they need to be taught that's not how it works.
