Unitedstatesian here: boycott us. Seriously, do it. Iโ€™m not kidding. This isnโ€™t a joke, or sarcastic. From where Iโ€™m standing, it looks like a popular grassroots response could be the strongest response the EU is going to be giving in the near to mid term future.

Also, I hope your leaders are preparing contingency plans, but the time to do that was honestly way back in 2016-17 when it became apparent what his intentions and predilections were. I am concerned that it could be too little, too late, with regards to establishing independent European security that cannot be fundamentally undermined by our now-fascist government.

Iโ€™m sorry to say this but what the world needs is you to be inflicted an humiliating, clear military defeat somewhere. Maybe losing a carrier, maybe getting some of those B2 shot down in one of those โ€˜beautiful bombingsโ€™. You (and the world) need to see your military is not unbreakable and pretending to be the owners of the world is not going to end well.

Unfortunately, the US military remains extremely competent - for now, at least. There are already beginnings of ironically Stalin-esque ideological purges in the military leadership, and the procurement choices this regime has made have beenโ€ฆ impressively idiotic, in pretty much all domains.

Bonus if you sell off 10 year us treasuries

Oh yep, that too. Boycott investing in US stuff, if you werenโ€™t already. And then tell your MPs or legislators or whatever term is relevant in your country that you want them to push for divesting from US sovereign debt as a national policy.
