Jesus fucking christ. If you do this, and exploit Ukraine while they are literally under the gun, the US will be dead to the rest of the western world.
I cannot express how hard you can go fuck yourselves.
The literal rest of my life will be spent trying to fuck over America and Americans. Fuck you, you selfish, coward, pieces of shit.
I think a global boycott on US-made goods + services is necessary. Trump can only do this because the US is such a powerhouse.
The US is only such a powerhouse, because they generally have the support of their allies. That makes it the unparalleled biggest economic block in the world.
But without their allies, USA isn't that much stronger than China economically. And USA wouldn't be nearly the powerhouse they've gotten used to be.
So China just has to look on and do nothing, while USA is losing their world dominance quickly.
And don’t forget the dollar being used as reserve around the world, or as international currency, which makes the dollar a strong currency. But this has been changing.
Yea, buyFromEU is already getting traction. More intense on reddit and a little bit on https://feddit.org/c/buyFromEU
Would be nice to see global sanctions against the US. Not realistic, but I hope all countries are moving towards significantly reducing American reliance. It'll be a slow process, but needs to be done.
Honestly sanctions agains companies like these that can be weaponized politically sounds very reasonable.
They are national security threat in the true meaning of the word.
I've been looking at getting solar installed, and been talking to a few different companies for quotes. One place only supplies PowerWall batteries, and I said to the sales rep that I wasn't really interested in buying anything from Tesla and his face made it pretty clear that that was the answer he'd been getting a lot recently
That is already happening in Canada. Those imperialists threatening annexation was finally what brought us Canadians together on something lol
Has there been any progress on dropping tarrifs between provinces?
I think I heard something about easing trade barriers between Ontario and I think it was either Saskatchewan or Manitoba.
Ottawa announced yesterday that they'll be dropping more than half of federal internal trade barriers.
I moved all my cloud computing from DO and Vultr to European owned options. It's a small thing, but it's about the only thing that I had been purchasing from the USA.
As an American, I'd like the boycott to be more targeted. But yes, every company that licks the boots of this obviously fascist regime should see no more sales. I don't have a full list, but it includes at least Meta, Alphabet (Google), and Amazon.
We don't really make anything though, aside from software I guess.
