Suddenly, the fact that members of Congress couldn't fly home became a potential problem, and they reached a deal.
And the lesson is that US national politicians don't care at all what hurts or helps their constituents. You have to personally inconvenience them. Then they remember how to act.

I think there's a lesson in the 2018-2019 US government shutdown and how it ended. Essentially, the air traffic controllers were sick of being expected to work unpaid, and although they are banned from going on strike, they started calling out sick.

The UK even has Magnitsky legislation. They could use secondary legislation...if Keir Starmer is ready to be done trying to appease Trump and the NHS is ready to stop signing Palantir contracts.

They haven't even tried targeted Magnitsky-style sanctions, which the regime would be highly vulnerable to.

Europe is going to have to work really hard to free itself from the US banking system and the US tech industry. And they need to do that. I hope they're ready.

Europe has also failed to protect their own citizens against US sanctions. The chief prosecutor of the ICC apparently had his email shut off by Microsoft after he was sanctioned, and he's British. Many court officials are dealing with sanctions that prevent them from even having a bank account.

And many countries in Europe operate golden visa schemes to allow wealthy people to buy immigration into the continent. No one seems to be talking about shutting that down.

And while it might seem like shutting down tourism is only an inconvenience to people going on holiday, tourist visas are one of the ways that people can get out quickly if they need to.

Currently, there are statistics suggesting 9% of the US trans population are internally displaced already, which amounts to hundreds of thousands of people. And it's likely to get much worse.

Allegedly. I've never had to deal with that, but they deal with all sorts of scams, including people impersonating the FBI. You could also potentially report it to your local police, but they might just send you to the FBI.
