I wonder if the US population understands that the entire world now knows the US is under a fascist regime and is cutting ties as fast as possible. The economic repercussions of this regime will be felt for years to come. Look at the USD/EUR or USD/CAD exchange rates over the last year.

edit: thanks for the downvotes. I know political comments are frowned upon on HN and that is fine. I tried to be factual but my tone was probably off.

I feel like Americans need to not fall into a "both sides" framing of what's happening. These situations are not honestly equivalent.

> This is not surprising. America is basically engaged in a tit-for-tat.

They're using the "two wrongs make a right" theory again? Still haven't figured out that it's just double wrong?

Even worse, it's not really a tit-for-tat, it's a theater of tit-for-tat, a slow-boiling theater which habituates more and more oppression. Why wouldn't both sides use it - it gives them exactly what they want.
