Non-american investors - will you pause VOO 'n chill?

Wondering what non-US citizens think of the mantra of just pile up VOO and let it be.

I have been doing that for years, and yes, happy with the returns.

Now the issue is:

* Boycott: I don't feel respected by the americans and their governments, so why would I fund their economy? They never said thank you for buying VOO now that I think about it.
* Risk: At anytime, the crazy leader of the americans may put some random EO to block or tax my money invested in US assets. Anything seems possible, and the more populist, the more it is plausible
* Mindshare: Frankly, I enjoyed not caring about my investments. But now, like it or not, I get massive news everyday that make me question it. I can't not think of my invested money anymore.

So, and I am asking non-US citizen, are you going to continue boggleheading or short? And if you short, wondering what are alternative assets with no USA exposure.
