    Economics and making them feel the pain will get them results sooner, though both approaches are warranted.

    The EU and global stocks are already surging as the US is in full retreat from anything but christofascist grifterdom. Shooting themselves in the foot, destroying close ally relationships, handing economic and infrastructure future to China and others on a platter (sustainable energy, batteries and electrification, education, transportation…).

    Just like despots in North korea, Thailand ore anywhere else, the dictators will cut themselves off, keep themselves rich while their actual power wanes. And eventually be overthrown, but of course it will be all too late for the US by then. Probably have to fight Qatari drone armies to try to take back our national parks that will have been privatized.
