Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

They don't. If they organize and show the limits to the US, the limits apply quite quickly.

Best example is OPEC. The US was invading Oil and Gas rich countries, when they demanded to get fair value from extracting and exporting their own resources. Once they banded together and showed the US their finger, the US was quickly put in place. It took the US decades before getting to the point of driving enough wedges to invade OPEC members again and to start ramping up its own production to increase resilience.

If the EU, Canada, Mexico and China agree to do world trade without the US, we will be able to watch it crumble away quickly.

Seriously. The world should unite to punish the US every year a fascist is in office.

Fascists and libertarians want to bring back isolationism, so let them and their useful idiots see what it's really like.
