And until the US does the same, should we suggest to folks in those
countries that they should use filters that throw away most mail from
the US?

If that rule is effective for them, then maybe they should try it.
Unfortunately, they might find that the rule might have too high of a
false positive rate.

You've just insinuated that mail originating from the USA somehow has a
higher value than mail originating from Korea or Japan.  Given that most
of the cool stuff happening on the 'net is driven in part by people from
this area, I find that most surprising.
