Now probably. China has retaliated to the US tariffs with their own, which may trigger another round of Us tariffs, which could trigger further Chinese measures, and on and on and on.
Probably not but the other guys were not patriots (they actually declared the Bundys to stay away from them). They were farmers who did some back-burning but lost control of it and created a massive fire on federal land.
The jury convicted both of the Hammonds of using fire to destroy federal property for a 2001 arson known as the Hardie-Hammond Fire, located in the Steens Mountain Cooperative Management and Protection Area. Witnesses at trial, including a relative of the Hammonds, testified the arson occurred shortly after Steven Hammond and his hunting party illegally slaughtered several deer on BLM property. Jurors were told that Steven Hammond handed out “Strike Anywhere” matches with instructions that they be lit and dropped on the ground because they were going to “light up the whole country on fire.” One witness testified that he barely escaped the eight to ten foot high flames caused by the arson. The fire consumed 139 acres of public land and destroyed all evidence of the game violations. After committing the arson, Steven Hammond called the BLM office in Burns, Oregon and claimed the fire was started on Hammond property to burn off invasive species and had inadvertently burned onto public lands. Dwight and Steven Hammond told one of their relatives to keep his mouth shut and that nobody needed to know about the fire.
Fresh from his self-styled negotiating success with North Korea, Trump tells May how to negotiate Brexit. That deal is not quite the same as negotiating down the price of fittings for Trump Tower.
