It is time for the world to level sanctions against the USA. While Der Trump wages total war against the US populace, he is simultaneously executing a war against the lands beyond the land of unlimited horizons. As opposition parties in America snivel and plead instead of arresting the Storm Troopers who daily perpetrate illegal acts, it becomes the responsibility of other nations to end the war using rather ordinary means in this extraordinary situation.
As their tourists get disappeared within the US, to date only Mexican President Sheinbaum has been vocal about demanding the safe return of her people and precluding any further such violations again. Other tourists -from Canada, Germany, France, UK (just for some pearly-white examples)- suffered the mute or stuttering response of their respective diplomatic representatives and endured torture.
Outside the US, Der Trump is waging economic warfare against all allies and civilized countries. This is internationally regarded as siege and extortion warfare, and the only ‘deals’ other nations have submitted to are not deals at all, but broad ‘agreements’ without detail or real obligations fixed by law. Chiefly because any deals proffered or threatened by Der Trump are themselves illegitimate. His incessant ‘emergencies’ do not remove from the US Congress sole power to set tariffs. No country can sign one of his trade contracts with his tariffs included because they understand that it is coming from a person without the authority to offer it. Thus any leader or legislative body would, by entering a deal, be exposing themselves to impeachment or criminal charges internally, and possible sanctions by the World Trade Organization externally –which would render a deal nugatory at best.
Der Trump’s donkey-on-meth tariff stylings present the most laughable display of his mobster delusions, but they have already done enough damage to a global economy. Most nations or blocs, such as the European Union, have cozened him hoping he’ll fall before he attempts anything concrete. In the EU’s case it is also due to Der Trump’s back-room threats to further screw Ukraine –which the EU knows is the human shield holding Putin back from their own capital cities.
Seen as a whole, this war requires the outside world to end it and establish a minimum of legal and political order in the USA. This can –and must- be done immediately, by breaking off diplomatic relations and imposing sanctions against the US of the caliber that has been set against the Russian Federation. Finally (for this day), it will be up to the world to lay the full charge of human rights outrages before the United Nations on behalf of its own, and America’s, citizens.
