Sanctions against the U.S. will, of course, not happen.

It would be more productive for the rest of the world to reduce its dependence on the US. This dependence takes a variety of forms and degrees but it’s this very dependence which makes sanctions impractical. It’s this very dependence which emboldens jackasses like Trump.

So just divest. Disentangle. If we could get there then there might actually be something we could do about a problem like Trump.

As things stand, it takes forever and a day to gather the will to merely speak out.
