This summer, the Trump administration is conducting two calculated national security operations in which America's vast, varied and flexible Economic resources serve as the administration's primary big stick.

Talk softly while wielding a big stick -- that was Theodore Roosevelt's sound bite dictum. In 2019 we have the Trump administration, and soft-spoken it is not. But that warrants a historical reminder: TR could get loud and large, a bit like DT.

But let's disregard the talk shows and consider the facts. So far, both Trump Trade War 2019 operations risk red ink, not blood. Try to escape your own petty political lens and think about it. In the long term, spilling red ink in lieu of loss of human life may prove to be a valuable global lesson. Potentially, red ink in lieu of blood is a peace-promoting reward.

Trade War 2019 divides into two parts. Mexico is the geopolitical face of one Trump Trade War operation; China is the target of the other, far more complicated and dangerous campaign.
