   Now, pray tell, which other nations are more capitalized than the world's third largest economy? Who would buy the dip? China? I doubt it. And nobody else has the scale.

   You're completely dismissing all extraparliamentary means of opposition. Protests. Riots. Strikes. Y'know, the sort of thing that toppled Yanukovych in Ukraine, lotsa Middle Eastern dictators during the Arab Spring, British rule i

   That's kind of the point. Crash the bonds market and with it the US government.

   Organize. Find like-minded people. Take to the streets. Go on strike. Don't just let this happen!

    I'm not sure where you get this decline narrative from. EU markets showed much stronger growth than the US last year: https://www.justetf.com/en/market-overview/the-best-country-...

    They're devastating for the less diversified side. The EU just signed a giant trade deal with Mercosur, creating the world's largest free market.

    I know there is a lot of good and brave people in the US - I lived there for a long time and call many of your compatriots good friends. We're trying our best over here, but y'all can't give up at home either. I know it sucks

    The tariffs already constitute shredding the trade agreement. This again is dishonest framing. There's no trade agreement as soon as one side breaks it. The side to break it wasn't the EU.

    I don't think anyone's ever assumed left wing consensus here. When's the last time you heard somebody here talk about public ownership of the means of production?

    I think it's ridiculous framing to call this Europe escalating. The US has been escalating non-stop for a year. This would be Europe responding for once. Constraining Washington is in their interest as Washington is a malign actor now.

    Trump threatened an extra 10% tariffs on countries that don't think the US should be taking over Greenland. Who knows what dumb reason he'll come up with next? Under this regime, the US is eventually going to develop into somethin
