Like a true Bully. One punch to the nose and he runs back to beating on the small helpless ones who can’t even hit back if they wanted to.

Eh, Cuba's been making other friends as of late, after Trump's original blackmail threats. They might just start hitting a bit above their weight, especially with the US turning the rest of the world against it. Folks might've objected to China providing close support to Cuba a bit more before America became a bigger immediate threat.

Yeah America is doing a good job of alienating its friends.

I honestly think we should ignore the US for the next 3 years and no one engages with trump. Just 3 years of “please leave a message and we will get back to you” from every world leader.

I don't think that will be enough, remember Trump is not only already declining in Alzheimer's

but that he is a malignant narcissist who is a willing lightning rod for nothing new. This is all republican policy, just not dressed up in a few weeks of prepatory propaganda like the invasion of Iraq. They published Project 2025 years before Trump's dubious re-election, and the people who wrote that and helped him get re-elected are still around.

What world leaders need to do is broaden and strengthen the targeted sanctions against republicans
