What is certainly being discussed is the idea to dump US treasury bonds
The US is trillions in national debt and the bonds are mostly held by Canada and the Scandinavian countries. So basically everybody Trump is pissing off.
And the effects of that being done in a coordinated way would have a biblical effect on the US economy.
On the subject of the European right - left wing parties in Europe used to represent the working class families, and the poor. But in the last decade the left in Europe won’t listen to those people anymore, as they shift their attention to identity politics and ethnic groups. So the only people even pretending to listen to the poor and the exploited is the right. That’s how Brexit happened. Sadly due to the ineptitude of the European left, we are doomed to live in “interesting times.”

@AdmiralPrune Yup and that 50 billion that is now going to ice every year could instead fix our debt. But oh well.

@SatanBurger I would never believed ten years ago that America could sleep walk into so much pain. A land of promise.
300 million vibrant and talented people.
I can’t see this being resolved short term either. Whoever gets elected next as US president would not have enough time in a single term to undo all the damage. And that’s assuming they’d want to. It’s deeply concerning. Even if Trump does allow an election you could end up with Vance, if the democrats can’t come up with an electable candidate.
America created a world order that they led. It’s taken generations and sacrifice. And now that orange oaf willingly surrendering it.
