i wonder why the rest of the world doesn't just come together for a while and stop trading / providing raw materials to the u.s. for let's say a year or so.

isn't this all just a huge pile of bluff poker?




A lot of people have jobs dependent on business as usual. You don't want to just fire the workers for a year.


the u.s. is not the only country other countries trade with so firing people should not have to be the result as long as you divert?


this is what BRICS floated trying to remove the USD as reserve currency. now they gone all quiet when trump threatened 100% tariffs.

plus remember trump could threaten nuclear attack on the ringleader.


The USD will be removed at some point if trump keeps his dumb antics.


Because their economies would suffer heavily? That's why they are upset about the tariffs in the first place.


they don't have TDS


The only people who suffer from TDS are those who voted for him.


> stop trading to the u.s.

That makes as much sense as a hunger strike over food rations.


because the u.s. is the only country the rest of the world can trade with?
