The US is only such a powerhouse, because they generally have the support of their allies. That makes it the unparalleled biggest economic block in the world.
But without their allies, USA isn't that much stronger than China economically. And USA wouldn't be nearly the powerhouse they've gotten used to be.

So China just has to look on and do nothing, while USA is losing their world dominance quickly.

Yea, buyFromEU is already getting traction. More intense on reddit and a little bit on https://feddit.org/c/buyFromEU

Would be nice to see global sanctions against the US. Not realistic, but I hope all countries are moving towards significantly reducing American reliance. It'll be a slow process, but needs to be done.

That is already happening in Canada. Those imperialists threatening annexation was finally what brought us Canadians together on something lol

I moved all my cloud computing from DO and Vultr to European owned options. It's a small thing, but it's about the only thing that I had been purchasing from the USA.

As an American, I'd like the boycott to be more targeted. But yes, every company that licks the boots of this obviously fascist regime should see no more sales. I don't have a full list, but it includes at least Meta, Alphabet (Google), and Amazon.

Sure, but does the rest of the world?

Come visit us in Canada! It's beautiful here. Better come fast before Trump decides to invade us for our oil and minerals though. I expect it'll be much less beautiful after that, and we won't have as much time to spend with you while waging a guerilla resistance.

Come on doc, you've gotta help us, we've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas!

As someone who didn’t vote for the Cheeto Nazi, thank you for the nuance.

That said, comment OP and anyone reading this - please boycott and sanction the US! Starving the billionaire leeches and smacking government into pretending they have an iota of decorum or sense is necessary, and any outside influence on that is helpful.

Given there is going to be serious economic disruption there is a lot be said for diversifying your assets. If most of your assets are currently in the US moving your pension fund into assets held outside it is a strong de-risking move, particularly if you can move it out of the country totally using a foreign prover provider as well as holding non-US assets(not sure if that last is legally possible, don't know much about your pension system).

Note you may get poorer performance - it's really up in the air just yet what the short term impacts will be economically (depends what King Mango ends up deciding, it's mostly speculation right now)

Edit for typo

Canadian. I've divested 100% of my meagre savings out of us stocks. USA is not a reliable trading partner, or a leader in anything anymore except deceit.

The worst thing about all of this is you have guns, you just can't aim for shit.
