Venezuala no. What's that African country with the trillion dollar note? Zimbabwe I think. Though the issue is the US actual produces a fuck ton for the entire world, we've just been ripped off on it for 1.5 centuries. If people abandon the dollar, as is happening, the solution is to close all trade in and out.
To your point, a close friend also brought up how we are a huge exporter to other countries (natural gas to Europe) so he was not as concerned about the devaluation of the dollar happening as quickly as I believe it might. However, I am interested in learning more about the circumstances of countries that have experienced the collapse of their financial systems.
It's more like the collapse of the British Empire, or the Dutch Empire than Zimbabwe or Venezuela. We'll lose influence around the world. What's different and worrisome about the US is that we don't have a cohesive ethnicity or culture anymore. There's going to be a lot of domestic unrest. 40% of welfare recipients are niggers, despite them only comprising 13% of the population. This means the vast majority of niggers are on public assistance of some kind. That group is going to riot if their free money can no longer be paid.
It's likely we'll see Balkanization, because the federal government is unlikely to adapt fast enough, and will want to remain much larger than our GDP will support. Texas and a lot of other states may attempt to succeed.
Before all of that happens, we'll probably end up in war though. It's going to be a shit show.
