i hope that these tariffs further alienate the american hegemony from the rest of the world and lead to its demise; even though it means it'll impact me as an american.

My prediction is that the tariffs are a bluff, and not even a credible one at that. We already saw what happened with the tariffs where they were immediately rolled back. It's pretty clear that the US is not in a position to impose the type of economic pressure Trump is threatening.

yeah, the sanctions on china is atleast politically feasible, if not economically so, but both is definately true for india.
