The same has happened in something like 25 % of countries, and they haven't gotten sanctioned for that.
Most of our diamonds and cobalt and cocoa come from countries that have similar problems as USA now does.

Rules (interactive)

That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

Because our leaders are pussies. If we all league against them we could raze the country in no time
It always comes back to Logistics, Coordination, Consistent Daily Action, & Collective Power
Keep getting more people active wherever you can and I will continue the same
We all got this!!! The more people active consistently and connected to each other online along with in-person the better off we all will be. The more that gets completed, and easier it makes it for us all
There are bigger and worse threats than the USA out there, and it's more beneficial to trade with the USA than to not trade with the USA. You could rationalize that the USA might be more likely to fix itself while sanctioned, make them realize their mistakes, but you would at the same time be severely lowering the West's military capabilities in a time of eastern aggression.
Making Trump realize his mistakes? Yeah, somehow I dont see that happening...

Nations operate under a a zero sum game. They'll never actually act unless it gets them something in return. Considering the potential risk in directly acting against the US it'd have to be a big return.

Letting them rot in the outcome of everything they do now. I say that is a fair amount of doing something about them.
Never interrupt your enemy while they're making a mistake.
Most international markets run thru NYC, and thus America.
So while other countries can sanction, everyone that could make that call has money in rates in NYC and would risk personally being sanctioned.
It's a huge fucking deal, and silver lining is other countries are most likely taking steps to become more independent.
Which is a good thing over all.
It's kind of like the Fediverse really...
Current market is basically Facebook era. Everyone is using NYC, so if you get "banned" you lose access to a lot of stuff.
The Fediverse splits the load, and if banned from an instance you just lose the slice that didn't like whatever you did.
I got a assume that other countries are doing it, since even now Texas is doing it:
The Texas exchange hopes to benefit from companies that are frustrated with regulations like Nasdaq's Board Diversity Rule, and increasing compliance costs that come with listing on the exchanges, the Journal reported.
So the rest of the world is freaking out Conservatives control the American market, and conservatives are also freaking out they control the American market...
Nukes.
they haven't even take poland by now, the world will act once they attack france
well, here in canada, we kinda don't want war atm.
We're not going to liberate you. You brought this upon yourselves.
The corrupt politicians of the world want to enable his idiocracy to make their own poor behaviour seem more socially acceptable internationally.
Because it's your own fucking mess.
I could be mistaken, but I don't think that they're a US citizen asking for help.
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
