    The people in that country have a responsibility to do something to stop the authoritarian assholes in charge. Until that point, all harm inflicted upon them as a result of their notoriety is deserved and their own fault.

        Definitely not the fucking shorter list.

        Blacklist any country with any form of aggressive military operations: Russia, China, USA, Israel, Iran, Lebanon, Indonesia, etc.

          So what countries (with any considerable exports) are left to choose from then?

            Well if you subtract the ones I listed and India (or maybe not depending on the evidence in the Pakistan conflict) then bout 187 including Taiwan, the entire EU, Mexico, Canada, South Africa, etc.

            But more realistically probably like 130 depending on how you draw the line and after excluding aggressors in Africa and South America.

        It wouldn’t be the first or the last revolt. If Xi “Poopy Pants Pooh” Jinping weren’t afraid of it he wouldn’t keep executing generals and parliament members.

        French Monarchs fell, Russian rulers fell twice, most English colonies threw off their own shackles.
