Pretty much. China DGAF, and everyone else has minimal leverage.

Will they do it? Much harder to say, they need to have that moment where the realise they can't ignore Europe's and the world's issues away, first. Like the article says:

European governments seem more eager to placate the dangerous bully than to confront him.

I'll leave it to you to guess which person they mean, since there's more than one.

China as well as Russia are against it unless it has changed.

It has to be American people and courts.

Russia is second best in Ukraine at the moment, so they fall into "everyone else". China, of course, is willing to disapprove, but there's not a snowball's chance in hell they do anything about it.

Stop passing the buck to everyone else! For a country with the words “right to keep and bear arms” and “necessary to the security of a free state” in your constitution, you all roll over to nazis awfully fucking quickly. But yeah, maybe Italy can fix your dictator problem for you by asking him politely to stop.

I wonder what would happen if the push back against Trump-Elon does got loud and violent. The Reighstag fire turned the Nazis up to 11.

Or just one daring American with nothing left to lose. Animals are dangerous when backed into a corner and threatened.

They have the #1 (USAF), #2 (US Army Aviation), #4 (US Navy), and #7 (USMC) largest air forces in the world, plus nukes. What do you expect Billy Bob and his AR-15 to accomplish?

I was reading a story recently about an Italian plumber's brother doing big things with less equipment.

There were already two failed assassination attempts. If it were that easy it would have happened already.

And how many secret service agents were guarding that ceo?
