As individuals we can all do little things to punish such behaviour. We don't have to visit the US. We can switch to Linux, Proton, etc, one step at a time. And as voters we can make it clear that we expect our leaders to make Europe strong enough that we need fear no-one.

If the USA is to ever recover they not only need to try and convict as many of the most senior members of the Trump administration as they can, but they should be prepared to hand them them over to Colombia and other countries for their trials too.

Pop psychology: anybody who assassinates a high profile political figure in a crowded public setting is very unlikely to be a rational actor, because rational people tend not to want to either die by gunfire or spend the rest of their lives in prison.
