Once again I think it's underrated that there is no "compromise with the US" popular constituency in any country. There's no international pro-US grassroots movement, the savvy political position *in every country* is to fuck us up good - ThreadSky

Yeah, the extent to which everywhere else on Earth simply trades around the US like an international pariah remains to be seen, but it is nonetheless very doable. Plus, as everyone else is reacting to a fight picked with them, they will have the advantage in maintaining motivation to drive it back.

Even in the US the proTrump’s America constituency is pretty soft. It exists mainly among those in a delusional state that is insulted from any real understanding of the world. The walls protecting that merry band have become very shaky and are on the verge of collapse.

It's a big world and everyone is variously yelling or mumbling a response, but I think Singapore has been the only 'shrug and roll with it' response I've heard to the tariffs so far.

I don’t want to compromise with the US because I want Americans to hurt just enough that they replace their insane regime with one that isn’t kidnapping people and sending them to el Salvadoran dachau.

As a great man from Minnesota said on the campaign trail last fall, "Who asked for this??"

Really, really feel like no one's grappling with this and it makes me feel insane

Aside from positive/negative sentiment, people just don't get that the US isn't the Main Character it once was. Like 25 years ago US news would be regular front page stuff in europe and now it just isn't except for when big things are happening (like now). And asia always much less than in europe

In fairness to the editors of the past it didn't used to be like this

Picking a fight with everybody is … not good.

Picking a fight with everybody all at once?
