I understand the sentiment, but remember what happened to Germany post WWI. Austerity-like treatment (as if Trump isn’t doing that himself with tariffs, the dumbass…) is most likely to only foster resentment of “others” and ossify MAGAt-like mindsets.

It is different though. Germany post WWI was doing poorly. USA, for now, is a strong bully. This more akin to sanctions on Russia, say.
I think.
I’ll take that risk. Turn them into North Korea.
