US is fucking done unless we can get people like you to pull their heads out of their asses and realize that these peaceful protests (protests in general really) aren’t doing damn near anything they should be.
I mean, unfortunately it’s all of us including all western powers. A citizen of any European country and a citizen in the US have about as much power to force direct change on the US government, pretty much zero. And it’s for the same reason, the US government has a near total monopoly on violence.
The same reason Americans do not arm themselves and take to the streets domestically is the same reason Europe still trades with and largely supports our foreign diplomacy, the US gov has enough hard power to shape geopolitics.
Unless we get a significant portion of the American population to take to the streets or a significant portion of global leaders to create a united front against America, the US Gov will continue to do as it pleases.
Unfortunately the majority American barley care about their fellow citizens, let alone people they see as foreigners. If you practice direct violent action without the will of the people, the centerist of the world will see that show of force as evidence that the state was right to suppress radicals. They will side with the state and allow the state to justify a real show of force.
Historically violent action needs to be paired with a less radical movement. Every Malcolm X needs an MLK to garter general appeal and offer the state safe middle ground to retreat too. The problem now a days is that we don’t even have an MLK like figure. The Democratic party has become soo used to accommodating the right that they can’t even tolerate their being a middle ground.
