It's a horrible situation to be in. Many nations are highly dependent on US trade, tech, energy, finance/investment, and defense. The US also holds great power in international governance systems.
At what point do we choose to do what's right, instead of what's practical and easy?

The US will retaliate. It will hurt, both in pure economic terms and in quality of life for all people. But if we wish to be principled, I don't see how we can wait until we are no longer dependent on the US in all sectors. The US is acting now, so surely we must react appropriately now, also?
