disproportionate behavior --- @Eduardo. The issue of the disproportionate use of power is significant as you have suggested. If you are a major power and my economy trades just over $100 million annually with you but I import $1 billion from you. And we get into a disagreement over some geo-political matter (say human rights violation) and since you are so powerful, you request that you cut-off trade with me or raise import tariffs 200% and ask inter-mediatory banks to stop dealing with my country ; the end result is severe economy and social upheaval in my country over a simple issue of geo-political differences; is this disproportionate behavior?
