And they're throwing a tantrum but they're going about it the wrong way - other members of the IPU, which includes almost every nation, will see the behavior of these 17 nations who have joined into a cartel and become more wary of them too.
To be honest, the international postal system concept which the Romans had and which managed to survive in the Catholic Church, and which was revived in government by the Germans in the 1600s, has broken down more in the last 15 years than in the last 400. There is the old standard of the International Reply Coupon which is a sort of ticket you used to be able to get until midway through Obama's regime, it cost like $18 but it would get your mail to anywhere on earth in any nation. And even nations at war with each other have kept up their postal systems in order to facilitate eventual diplomacy.
When the International Reply Coupon went away I knew we were in trouble, globally.
