The WTO/World Bank is an arm of the US State Department.

The rules serve to further US diplomatic and corporate interests, not openness or trade.

Cool assertion, but even if that were true, why wouldn't the WTO enforce net neutrality?
This could not be farther from the truth. WTO has been subjugated by the Chinese, hence where we are today.
Okay, so then we should DEFINITELY use it here, to promote US values over Chinese ones.
Ok. Just want to make sure we're all on the same page, this is about nationalism and competition, not freedom or trade. Pretending like we're opening the world up for everyone to become magical free millionaires just makes us seem naive and dishonest.
