provided the ransom in order to get their kidnapped hostages released. While the world sits more or less mute. There should be a general condemnation of the US passed by the UN General Assembly for this and the Venezuela murders. Nothing will happen at the Security Council but the world at large should accelerate actions to turn away from the US financially, socially and militarily and to form a new path of security, trade and interaction.

One major effort should be to start looking at US military facilities in their countries. They should take the first step and restrict all personnel to the base. Then they should cancel the visas for all but a bare skeleton staff at any US embassy etc. and they should have their intelligence services provide a list of suspected US Intelligence personnel in their country. Expel them and place heavy scrutiny on any US visitors to the country.

Let business people make their plans and deals by Zoom. They don't need to physically come to the country. Countries should collectively come together and tell the IMF there will be no more loan payments.

Although the way forward may be difficult it is vital that countries turn to each other in order to form alliances and trade. Doing so can begin to throw off the yoke of US dominance exerted over them financially and militarily. The British Colonial Empire shrank and was replaced by a different structure and means of dominance. It is long past time to make the US understand the word "no".
