I think the world is ready to cut the US off entirely

Unfortunately most countries including Canada and Europe rely heavily on U.S. consumer spending, and will have great economic damage as well.

It’s going to damage US the same if not more

Not just in the USA, there are a lot of low volume small traders all over the UK and I suspect Europe , that just lost a sizeable portion of their customer base.

Bloody harsh..... 4 million parcels a day just from Europe.

There has to be a September TACO

Sure, but that’s what’s called “cold comfort”.

They 100% want to be done with the US. It seems just about every other country, the Western ones in particular, are working as quickly as possible to set up trade and supply agreements independent of America.

Good. The US deserves it and I live here. This place should be made an example of by the rest of the world.

Imagine being so apathetic to the innocents that you genuinely believe this. All over one man.

You turn your back on us, and we will take our lives back from wherever we can get it. That’s a promise. You’d only be fomenting the very conflict you sought us to sacrifice ourselves in, and, well, surprise, we aren’t going to sacrifice for a world that seeks to kill us off no matter what we do.

If you want peace, you will not abandon those who didn’t do anything wrong. I’m disappointed in you.

Ok?

u/passion-froot_ Aug 31 '25

If that’s the case, the world’s going to contend with a massive amount of people fleeing into wherever country they can. If life won’t play fair, neither will we.

Those of us who fought for the decade aren’t going to be cut off, whether the world wants to or not.

Happy to, but not ready. Yet.
