    The issue is, that the rest of the World will also “enjoy” the consequences of that, because you can’t just ignore 300 Million people…

      It’s a fair point but I think the world is getting better at and more prepared to do so. The rest of the world can easily ignore 300mil people. We do it with many others. It’s the fact that it’s the US that makes it harder to ignore. IMO Trump was the trigger that inspired countries ans allies to cut or limit dependencies on single countries like the US, China and Russia.

        Only Europe (continental and Australia) effectively did something. For anyone else, it’s prettyich business as usual.
