I hope we respond by putting tariffs on American pickups. Democratic nations need to cut the US out of the global economy entirely until they learn how to act right.

Apologies if there’s any weirdness in this post, it’s my first one.

    The US is a failed state. We’re going to have to learn to live without it sooner or later. The only reason it has so much influence is because we all made it the centre of the global economy. That’s what needs to change.

      ok, but realize what that’s going to cost in the near term, and it’s going to be more painful than any war you’ve ever fought, any fire you’ve ever put out, and any economic downturn your country has ever experienced, up front, and i don’t believe most modern economies want to shoot themselves in the head quite yet, they’ll have to endure humilating trade concessions which will shrink their economies gradually, but they’re not gonna want to pull that rip cord just because they’re a bit miffed
