      The world doesn’t need to go to war, it needs to stop being afraid of a major economic downturn.

      Stop everything with the US: trade, travel, everything. Deport all Americans back to their native soil. Isolate them, and see how quickly things change.

      While we’re at it, do the same with Russia and Israel. And maybe China?

      Would it cause a global economic crisis? Probably. But people are already dying—it’s worth it if we can actually end a genocide and a couple wars.

        So much this. Just 100% stop all trade with the United States. All of it. And zero travel. Then ban US travel to your country. Give them the isolation they crave.

          No, definitely impose sanctions and stop trade, but don’t ban travel. Let the brain drain do its thing.

          Some of us do not consent to the actions of this rogue administration, and we don’t crave isolation. Some of us desperately want a way out of this country.

        Most of the people in charge don’t have their value in USD, they have it in material and speculative value. The crash of the USD will hurt everyone but them.

          Crashing the USD would be its demise as the global reserve currency, which would evaporate all that speculative value overnight.

          Sure, the oligarchs would still have their mansions, bunkers, and bullet-proof SUVs, but their primary source of leverage and influence would be gone. They would become irrelevant.

          Would this finally cause the american population enough distress to heave themselves off their armchairs, put down their hotdogs, turn off the TV, and get out the guillotines?

            No that idea died when the military became infinitely more advanced than the populace
