    You tell yourself whatever you need to.

    Edit to add… You may be under the mistaken assumption that the US is not dependent on the rest of the world. See what happens when the world dumps the dollar or unloads all US Treasury bonds. You guys have had a free ride to rack up infinite debt on the deal that you were a stabilizing force. Since you’ve decided to break that deal then you can find out what happens when the world decides to pull out of their side of the bargain.

    Let’s see what happens when Canada cuts off oil, potash, critical minerals and hydro. Nationalize pharma patents and sell to the world at 1/100 of your price.

      Oh, I’m very aware we’re all dependent on each other under the way things used to be. When the US completely falls, it will take a lot of other countries with it, which is why it’s good to see any kind of effort to cut off US ties now. It’s not nearly harsh enough, however.
