The US makes up a 5th of the global economy, it holds the global reserve currency which is enormous power, it funds most international instituions. Canada in particular is hugely dependent on the US economy - close off their exports and they collapse . Look at the global collapse a US housing market bubble lead to. The US military is stronger than the next 7 combined. It's nearly half of the worlds military power with bases everywhere. No one will declare war on us for forcing Mexico to pay for a wall. You think China and Russia care? They're going to risk war, civil unrest and economic disaster over MEXICO? It will never happen, we could literally occupy Mexico and no one would do anything but lip service.

 

Sigh.

They won't go in to the war obviously, they have more insight than Trump. Housing bubble led to depression because world economy is connected deeply. EU, China, hell, even Japan could do similar. It just that they're not idiotic enough to allow burning money into the thin air.

Next 7 combined military force isn't going to help fighting Mexico, just like it didn't help fighting in Iraq. Only thing rest of the world will do is to pick up the pieces fallen off to stuff themselves and push US out of global politics. As US deal with Urban warfare and resistance. Or they could use H Bomb and risk WW3.

Again, war isn't free.

 

US economy is larger than china and Japan combined. No other country controls the global economy like the US and we're not even talking about the enormous power of having the world reserve currency yet as well as by far the largest domestic market on the planet which, if we had to, gives us enormous sway over corporations. And regarding IRAQ btw, we killed oveer a million there - I'm pretty sure Mexico would start paying for that wall if we got to just 10% of that number in a war with them
