The tariff game theory seems akin to “if you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball”

In a complex and interconnected financial system, throwing a massive spanner in the works will filter out nations that can survive vs those that can’t

The latter need to strike a deal urgently, giving the disruptor leverage

With a tariff formula that was seemingly made up by an LLM I doubt that the ramifications of this have really been calculated through on a game theory perspective. 

Even IF you could strike some better deals, alot of trust and political goodwill has been destroyed. 

Reminds me of some McKinsey consultants that try to juice out some marginal value for the short term while disregarding long term negative effects.

You're generally not worried about the accuracy of your threat when you're extorting someone -- it's more about show of force than finesse

And yes, extortion is not a good long term game lol
