Nobody is able to embargo the US. Not Europe, not China, not Europe and China combined. It would be catastrophic, we simply don’t have the domestic capacity. Tech, certain medications, military hardware, spare parts, etc.
Sure, we could get a passable replacement for everything in 5 years or so, but until then it would literally cost lives.
@Tja@masterflappie actually I think with china, Europe would have for everything an adequate replacement. China is very independent. BUT Europe would just replace the US with China and tbh. that’s not better. Europe is now getting what the laziness of the last decades deserve. China went from a third world country to a fully independent nation within 30 years who can stand against the US. Europe gave that power away long ago. It‘s time to regain the independence.

None are able to embargo the big ones like China, the EU or even India.
BTW this is how you know Russia is not one of the big ones.
