What does any of that have to do with citizens of Nation A refusing to trade with companies in Nation B because some of the citizens of Nation B elected a leader whom the citizens of Nation A don't like?

That is the kind of attitude that drives people apart, creates hostility, and eventually leads to war. In what world is that a good idea?
