#globalization #isolationism
Hopefully it will not take World War III to get us there. Hopefully we will not end up in a world in which we are further divided, isolated and estranged from one another. Hopefully we will not need to grow potatoes under train tracks or raise goats on our balconies. But it is clear that resolving tensions between globalization and equality is one of the most urgent tasks of our time and that our future rests upon it.

Weekly #shopping has recently been given a fun twist: #BoycottUSA
Fortunately, it's easy in #France: goods from the region and the own country have always been specially labelled. And we now also cheekily turn US goods upside down.
A new study: 62% of French people support the #boycott of US products. Falling numbers also in #tourism, #working, #studying. The #study reveals an unprecedented collapse in the image of the US among French people.

“''April 2, 2025 will forever be remembered as the day American industry was reborn,' Trump began. 'For decades our country has been looted, pillaged, raped and plundered by nations near and far,' by both allies and enemies, he added."

"Donald Trump has begun his 'liberation day' event announcing sweeping tariffs, saying he will sign an executive order announcing 'reciprocal tariffs on countries throughout the world'."

The U.S. is leaving the international group investigating Russia's crimes in Ukraine, – The New York Times. Washington has informed European officials of its withdrawal.

Daniel L. Davis is a retired United States Army officer. He was one of the earliest military officers to publicly criticize the War in Afghanistan.
Davis is a Senior Fellow at Defense Priorities, a Foundation of the Koch brothers.
Davis was selected by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard for appointment as deputy director. On Wednesday, the Jewish Insider magazine ran a story against Davis ; neoconservative radio jock Mark Levin helped spread the Jewish Insider story to his 4.9 million followers; within hours, Davis was informed there would be no job.

Is "restraint" a more useful framework for US foreign policy than #isolationism? It may offer a middle path between disengagement and unrestrained global activism.

"Friedrich Merz did not even wait for the final results in Germany's election before delivering what could well be a defining verdict on U.S. President Donald Trump, consigning Europe's 80-year alliance with the United States to the past. The Trump administration does not care about Europe and is aligning with Russia,":

The #UN Charter was drafted in 1945 by people who had learned the lessons that the #aggression, #isolationism and #TariffBarriers of the 20’s and 30’s had led the world into a conflagration. Article One makes it clear: threats of #annexation are illegal. So are unilateral #tariffs in breach of a #trade agreement.
#Isolationism is all #US have to expect with these bipartisan fascist policies. Especially now that neoliberalism has failed dramatically and all countries will get rid of the neoliberal puppets imposed on us by the US, it will be hard to find allies on Earth.
But maybe #NaziMusk will do something on Mars, though.
