Comment on Why isn't the rest of the world doing anything about the USA?

Countries need to reduce their dependency on the US first: The US is the strongest force within NATO, so with Russia getting more aggressive, Europe and Canada need to quickly build up a stronger army. The US is NATO’s largest supplier of weapons, so Europe and Canada need to invest in their weapons industry. The US is the worlds largest manufacturer of CPU’s and GPU’s. While there are non-US alternatives, these are not as good and are designed for custom build electronics rather than desktops, laptops and servers. Most international payments go via the US (even a lot of international payments within Europe). Countries need to persuade their banks to find new ways to do international payments, but the current system is pretty advantages for the banks, so they are reluctant to agree. Most cloud infrastructure is in the US. Other countries will need to move their data out of the US. The US is a large provider of humanitarian aid, and the largest exporter of food. Poor countries will have to find a new way to get those resources.
