Bullied into deflation

People on the far left tend to overstate the extent to which all of the world’s problems are caused by nefarious US policies. On the other hand, I suspect that average Americans have no idea as to the extent to which the US bullies smaller nations. For instance, I hear people saying that foreign nations “take advantage” of the US in trade agreements, whereas exactly the opposite is true. We use our economic power to force trade concessions from smaller nations. And with respect to GDP at market prices, all nations are “smaller nations”.
