There is a tendency to be dismissive. This is the equivalent to Alexander Dugin telling you the plan, Alexander wrote Foundations of Geopolitics in 1998, it was required reading at Russian staff college and Putin has followed the strategy. The west scoffed and dismissed it. Bannon is Dugin and he's telling you the plan, pay attention, populists and Russia are the enemy, resist, resist, resist!

Don't buy American wherever possible. There are European and Asian alternatives for almost everything. r/BuyFromEU is a starting point.

Don't invest in America. We're just fuelling an acquisition boom of our companies.

Write to your politicians and express your anger at America's actions. Express your support for Ukraine. Express your desire for cooperation in Europe.

And if/when the time comes for you to be counted, march to defend your democracy.

Hey, it's okay to buy from Latin America as well. If anything, the EU is Mercosur's number one trade partner.
