So, by that same logic, any other country can, if it has the resources, kill him because reasons, right? If international rules are over...
I mean effectively that's basically what they are calling for... Hell I think that's half what they are hoping for... either another country makes an attempt to attack and we get to test out our detection and defenses before launching a sharp counter and claiming whatever country attacks as our own. Or everyone's too afraid to, and then we leverage our position as the unstable psychopath bully that everyone just gives whatever it asks for in the hopes that they can avoid being the next bullying target.
Even the world vs the United States would be a bad idea. We're geographically isolated from major military powers, and unless there is civil war and regional breakup (nowhere close to happening), the US is impossible to seriously threaten.
It also doesn't make sense for anybody to pick a fight with the US, as Trump is destroying both the American economy and global influence. Nobody can do more damage to America than Trump, so placating him in surface level ways while preparing a costly defensive strategy is the smart move.
The problem is what happens when surface level isn't enough... IE with the Venezuela having happened, what's the response to do for Canada and Greenland. When trump says "OK we're taking these now, join us or we'll take it by force". How should the other nations respond?
They should already have stopped all trade and cooperation with us but they haven't so that's a good place to start.
Bunker up and show strength. Make it clear a war won't be easy, and he'll go after weaker nations.
