And Walmart, Amazon, GE, Apple, Samsung, GM, etc. would never permit any meaningful US economic response.

Why should there be any response?

This is all a result of our incompetent government. China, Russia, and India will economically isolate US in time. Our stupid "diplomats" refuse to engage in diplomacy and always push for war. Victoria Nuland is a diplomat, supposedly. She was the one that worked to overthrow the Ukrainian government in the first place. That thing has been involved in every fucking war we've been in for the last 20 years one way or another.

Neither China, nor India, nor Russia, nor Africa, nor the EU needs us. The reason the EU is dealing with a refugee influx is we've been creating these refugees for 20 years.

We either have a cabal running this government that is just entirely incompetent, or they are purposely sabotaging this nation. I honestly cannot tell if it's incompetence or malice.

It's get rich and influencial among peers all combined with ideology. The ideology is tied to membership in a class/prestige group so it can't be questioned without risking membership. Since your peers all hold the same ideology, it's part and parcel of your identity and success.

For example, Wokeness is now a prestige marker, indicating education level and "Class", therefore, the most exclusive or wanna-be exclusive private K-12 schools are super woke.
