    Politicians more or less have to kiss the orange turds ass, which I find enjoyable in itself beside all other considerations.

    Edit: hey I’m not saying he’s doing right, it was just a showethought.

      They don’t. If they organize and show the limits to the US, the limits apply quite quickly.

      Best example is OPEC. The US was invading Oil and Gas rich countries, when they demanded to get fair value from extracting and exporting their own resources. Once they banded together and showed the US their finger, the US was quickly put in place. It took the US decades before getting to the point of driving enough wedges to invade OPEC members again and to start ramping up its own production to increase resilience.

      If the EU, Canada, Mexico and China agree to do world trade without the US, we will be able to watch it crumble away quickly.

        Seriously. The world should unite to punish the US every year a fascist is in office.

        Fascists and libertarians want to bring back isolationism, so let them and their useful idiots see what it’s really like.
