5. Read recently that American brands are losing their appeal overseas.

Don't know where it was . . . Maybe someone else can locate it. I guess the idea is that torture, agressive wars, melting the planet and arrogant, criminal behavior in general just aren't that sexy. Coke made a lot of money in past decades trading on their American 'cachet'; now maybe they're losing money because the face of America is not so appetizing anymore.

I do think an organized, targeted international boycott of American products would be HIGHLY effective, though.
