I actually picked France for good reason. My other choice was going to be some of the former Soviet republics, but I doubt many people know much about the Moldovan economy these days.
I've got a bunch of items manufactured in France in my home office that aren't wine or cheese. A picture frame. A lamp. Several books. The reason I singled the French out is that they are socialist and not communist. Ziadel, I hope you know that there's a vast difference between the two.
If we want to start limiting our trading partners based on tolerance, we're going to have a hell of a time when we cut off the Japanese, the Indians and the Taiwanese.
