Should we also cut economic (and "whatever else") ties with china, india, marocco, south africa, saudi arabia, and israel among others?

So isolating ourselves, not the smartest move in my opinion.

Yeah. We could've used our economic power for years and decades to shape the world according to our own lofty goals and morals and we didn't and now shit's fucked and we're scared we'll have to give up even a bit of our wealth in order to help vulnerable humans in other places. Yay us.

Start with the biggest arsonist and isolate them.

That's not isolationism though, and a good way to go forward IMO as you can't attack everyone IMO that would just make everyone work around us.

What is South Africa doing wrong?

At the very least we should reduce or eliminate our dependency on them

That goes without saying, we tried to do the French-German peace after WW2 but with the whole world (interlinked economies are supposed to reduce risk of war, which worked onside Europe). Now it's time to become independent.
