Feel like if it was another country they’d be sanctions or something already.
Other countries are learning how to separate themselves economically from the US more.
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
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.
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”
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.
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 🥴
They are sanctioning themselves.
so much winning for US citizens.
Yay! I’m a winner! Wait…
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.
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.
i was about to post this. this is it.
imperialism.
Have a look into what other countries did with the rise of nazis.
Business liked it.
As a German, what do you think we could do? Even with our experience we’re having fun with the far right Afd and the other parties are basically doing everything to get more voters to them!
Oh and we’re still highly dependant on us technology and services (ms, cloud, etc) although all this could be seen coming for years now. 🤷
“nobody could’ve known!”
What we could do is build networks of interconnected support and quietly arm/train ourselves.
Nukes.
I think they’re just keeping their heads down and not poking the bear. He’s already blindly striking out at imaginary percieved insults. They’re just riding out the next few years and hoping to not make anything worse.
Plus, it’s not their job. It’s the US’s job to clean up the bed they shit in.
Yeah, from the world’s perspective, this is a problem that solves itself in a few years. Plus, the idea of ‘doing something’ about a country is not a very common action. The most common action is to ignore the BS best you can, focus on building up allies, and focus on building up your own country.
There’s absolutely no excuse for buying American goods and services.
Absolutely boycot the crap out of us.
We’re doing what we can, I personally boycott US products as much as I can.
Unfortunately by sanctioning the US, they would be sanctioning themselves. The world just needs to wait for the orange madman to destroy the US economy, which is well on the way.
