@randahl The bottom line here is that the US cannot be trusted anymore, and other countries have to disentangle themselves from us for that reason -- which they really should have done a long time ago, but better late than never. In a country where so much can change so greatly with just one election, it's essential to avoid that kind of dependency. We didn't invent any of these tools, such as banking; we just came to dominate them, because other people let us. That must now end.
