So when an aggressor backs down or pauses the attack, doesn't that give the opposition time to regroup?

Re-arm, resist, regain?
Trump is truly king of the world using his tariff strategy...whatever that is. In the meantime, the rest of the world is figuring out how to circumvent this idiot.
And China will likely come out more on top than ever. Trump has just about halted everything Biden had put in place to get the chip industry manufacturing in the U.S.

Trump has also horned in on the Biden initiative to bring broad band to mid-west and rural areas by trying to force them to use satellite links (probably Elon's) instead of wired links. https://wamu.org/story/25/04/09/the-trump-administration-broadband-internet-and-closing-the-rural-digital-divide/

Also, while we are engrossed in tariff shit, Israel has bombed Syria, unprovoked, over a hundred times taking farm land and olive groves from Syrian farmers, killing more women and children. And there is no progress on getting the hostages back because Israel refuses to abide by any deals as they continue to kill more Gazans including Aid workers.

All the tariff plays are doing is keeping us focused on the markets while real bad shit is happening elsewhere and while the rich get richer by shorting the markets and buying up everything at cheap prices.

WTF is it going to take to get these insane people out of our government and out of the country if we can?
