Feel like if it was another country they’d be sanctions or something already.
what are they going to do? look at what happens in the UN when the US and Israel the only ones who vote a certain way and nobody gives a shit
Here at South America we are still starting to come to sense that the usa has been ruling over us for quite a while. There’s not much we can do. Some countries are just at a level you have those votes that are 150 to 1 and the one wins (USA).
One method would be a global alliance against fascism.
For americas enemies: Don’t interupt your enemy in the process of making a mistake.
For americas allies: Don’t poke a wounded bear.Other countries are learning how to separate themselves economically from the US more.
Because the US is the biggest market and they’d rather make money then do the right thing.
most of the rest of the world - “someones got to be my exit-liquidity, might as well be the american working class”
They are sanctioning themselves.
so much winning for US citizens.
Yay! I’m a winner! Wait…
The rest of the world is slowly routing everything around the USA. Assuming things turns back, there will be a lot to rebuild in matter of trust and commerce.
Now, if you’re talking about what happens inside the USA, well, what do you propose other countries do? Invade? Because that’s not happening. There’s enough to do for damage control outside of it.
Assuming things turns back, there will be a lot to rebuild in matter of trust and commerce.
I’m not so sure about that. The US has proven that they’ll make a 180° turn on anything within just the blink of an eye. Even if the US turns back, there’ll be no guarantee it won’t elect the next batshit crazy person as president four years later.
It will take the US decades to rebuild trust. Its more likely the country decays some sort of hypercapitalist modern flavored feudalism with water slaves dying in the streets before other countries put long term trust in the US again.
Trump has inspired more trade side deals between countries than any US President in history. It will take 5-10 years to notice but it cannot be reversed and the US will feel the result of an isolationist economy like once Great Britain.
Canada is signing new trade deals every month with not the USA.
Nukes.
well, here in canada, we kinda don’t want war atm.
Because it is kind of an act. The US is restructuring for a strong China and the other western countries support that.
There is no way that US billionaires can be blamed for controlling politics to exploit workers but then are incapable of removing Trump.
Doctorow’s as usual excellent take also touches on this:

TL;DR: it’s not so much only the US, it’s corporate (quasi-)monopolies, and those operate in a lot of countries.
The rest of the world has done various responses to the American trade war. Most everybody else has found other partners to do business with and those that haven’t are soon about to. America is not hurting other countries economically as much as they are hurting themselves. The entire ICE thing is terrible and it is too bad the government agencies have given in and that the military seems to be rolling with it too. But it is still domestic affairs as long there isn’t any proof of concentration camps or massacres or the like. We have lots of empathy for the people in America suffering from all of this.
But then again…
You guys have free elections and this is your democratically elected leader doing what he promised to do. You guys had him elected after he staged a failed coup once already. What do you expect the rest of the world to do about it? To save you guys from yourselves?
Sorry, dude. We’re busy dealing with our own national problems, trying to block Chat Control in EU, support Ukraine and deal with the entire Russia scenario, try to stop the genocide in Gaza, and a bazillion other more pressing things than dealing with problems America had caused for itself.
Never fails to surprise me that there are people in the US who expect the world to fix this for them. Sorry, it’s your country, you’ll have to figure out how to take it back. In the mean time the rest of us will work out new trade deals with other countries and arm ourselves in case your government decides to take their shit across the border.
The OP is on feddit.uk, so most likely not an American.
The question is also just that, a question. Not an expectation.
Also worth noting that it is “everyone’s problem” as soon as US turns his military against other countries.
For now it is Venezuela and maybe Nigeria,
But here at South America we are “bracing for impact” even though we aren’t Venezuela per se.
Trump already told he wants to annex Canada, Panama, Greenland and Vance already vented his distaste against Europe.
It is just a matter of time before US turns against Europe.
And then it will suddenly be a “World’s problem” because it only is a problem when the western civilization gets the wrong end of the stick.
Fair, I made an assumption, however my general point still stands. on various SM sites I use, I’ve encountered quite a few from the US who have asked us Canadians to invade them, or for some other country to bomb them, it’s wild 🥴
Strong bullies are not easy to deal with without stronger authorities imposing common sense… it is a wild regime were the strongest impose their will without significant consequences
i was about to post this. this is it.
imperialism.
